Former WWE and TNA star Ken Anderson recently appeared on the A2theK Wrestling Show, where he discussed his experience training former NXT Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton and WWE draft pick Gable Steveson. Anderson had nothing but praise for both wrestlers and shared some interesting insights into their training journeys.
When discussing Stratton, Anderson commended her athletic background and work ethic. He revealed that there were nights when he would be at home, and she would still be in the ring with other students, putting in extra time and effort. Anderson stated, “She took to it. She busted her ass.” It’s clear that Stratton’s dedication and determination have impressed her trainer.
As for Gable Steveson, Anderson recalled their first meeting. Steveson, who had previously been under a WWE contract and had been drafted to Monday Night Raw, admitted to Anderson that he knew nothing about professional wrestling. Despite this, Anderson was eager to work with him and start from square one. Anderson expressed his desire for people not to compare Steveson to Kurt Angle, as he believes each wrestler should be recognized for their individual talents.
Anderson’s insights into the training of both Stratton and Steveson shed light on their dedication and potential in the world of professional wrestling. It’s clear that both wrestlers have shown a strong commitment to their craft, putting in extra hours and going above and beyond to improve their skills.
