IShowSpeed, a popular YouTuber and streamer, has been documenting his journey to become a WWE Superstar on his YouTube channel. In a recent episode of his series, the 20-year-old received a unique training experience at the WWE Performance Center, where he sparred with Myles Borne, received lessons from Lince Dorado and Sheamus, and ultimately trained with none other than Randy Orton.
During his training session with The Viper, Orton challenged IShowSpeed to take a steel chair shot to his back. The 14-time WWE World Champion wanted to test Speed’s resilience and commitment to becoming a wrestler. Without hesitation, Speed agreed, and Orton delivered a powerful chair shot that left the young streamer in pain.
Interestingly, while IShowSpeed was selling the impact of the chair shot, he had a lesson in selling moves from Orton himself. Prior to the chair shot, Speed had celebrated after executing a shoulder tackle on Orton, thinking he had actually hit the seasoned wrestler hard. However, Orton quickly corrected him, explaining the importance of selling moves to make them believable to the audience.
Orton’s lesson in selling proved valuable, as IShowSpeed effectively sold the chair shot and impressed The Apex Predator. Orton commended Speed for his ability to convince him with his selling, indicating that he has the potential to captivate the WWE audience with his performances.
The entire training session showcased the physical and mental challenges that come with pursuing a career in professional wrestling. IShowSpeed’s dedication and willingness to learn from seasoned wrestlers like Randy Orton highlight his determination to succeed in the competitive world of WWE.
As IShowSpeed continues his training and documents his journey on his YouTube channel, fans eagerly await his progress and eventual debut as a WWE Superstar. With guidance from legends like Randy Orton, IShowSpeed is on the right path to achieving his dream in the world of professional wrestling.
