WWE Executive, Paul Levesque, better known by his ring name 'Triple H', has told 大象传媒 Radio 5 live he wants more elite athletes to consider a career in his sport.

But Triple H said a life in wrestling should not be taken lightly: 鈥淒on鈥檛 think 鈥榠t鈥檚 entertainment, I can slack off and just go do that鈥�. I don鈥檛 know an athlete who鈥檚 come in from any other sport who hasn鈥檛 had a three day try out who hasn鈥檛 said 'oh my god that might be the hardest thing I鈥檝e ever done'.

"It鈥檚 very difficult. The physicality is real. What it takes to do it is real; the mental capacity to tell that story and work that crowd while you鈥檙e doing all that physical stuff is a challenge. If it鈥檚 something you鈥檙e interested in, make sure you鈥檙e serious. If you鈥檙e serious bring your 'A' game because the WWE is the best of the best.鈥�

WWE 鈥� the American pro-wrestling giant 鈥� is launching a new global project to try and attract the best athletes from traditional sports like football and rugby.
