WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently was interviewed by with News OK and revealed how WWE talent scout Gerald Brisco looks for future talent:
"Jerry scouts all the amateur programs. He goes to all the major duals. He has a network of coaches who work with him who know what WWE is looking for. He goes to the NAIA nationals, the Division II nationals. He's looking for guys who have that nice look, a marketable look — he doesn't have to be 6-3; he could be 5-10 — and some of these guys have a little showmanship in them. They've got a little swag about them. You need extroverted athletes. If you're an extroverted athlete who is motivated to be an entertainer, you could go from amateur wrestling and the wrestling room, the sweat and the stench, to really making a lot of money. There's been a lot of them in the amateurs that did exactly that."
