Update on Olympian to WWE
As noted, last fall WWE head of talent development Canyon Ceman met with two time gold medal winning Indian Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar. In a recent interview with The Indian Express, Ceman offered the following update on Kumar possibly signing with WWE:
“I was happy to meet with him.This clearly is a guy who commands respect. He is a national icon. But it was hard for us to convince him, from being a national icon of India to come to America where there are no guarantees that he is going to make it through this very competitive system. So it was hard for us to tell him that ‘you leave this amazing life in India and come and risk it all in America where we are not sure of anything’. The conversation was definitely of mutual interest but it did not work out eventually.”
