Eric Young Reveals How He Trained Tye Dillinger

The leader of Sanity; one of the hottest wrestlers of NXT Eric Young recently spoke to E&C Pod Of Awesomeness where he revealed how he trained Tye Dillinger;

“We first met in Cambridge, Ontario. I had a wrestling school there and I had a wrestling school at the time because I wanted to have a ring to stay sharp because I was starting to do a lot of tryouts with the WWE, and dark matches, and stuff like that.”

Young professed, “I ended up having a bunch of really good students. Crazy Steve from TNA is actually one of my students. He has done very well. Jake O’Reilly, a lot of guys in Ontario that are doing very well. And Tye was living in Cambridge, going to the fake Hart Brothers [school] in Cambridge and came in and said he was leaving there. He had only been there for a couple of months. There was no one there training, really. They kind of just took his money. You guys know the story of all that. So he said, ‘I want to come to your gym’ and he started coming to my school. And he was living with this girl at the time and they got into this big fight. He got kicked out, so he called me and said, ‘hey man, can I come to your house?’ So I went and picked him up. He lived in my room. He bought a futon and I put it in the corner of my room. Me and him lived in the same room for like a year while he was at my school.”

“I was backstage at Royal Rumble when he was in the Rumble and [got] like this huge pop. It’s cool kind of seeing everyone come around and congratulating him. I liken it to like he’s my child. Not in that way, but in wrestling, I’m kind of his dad. It’s like your kid going to Harvard, getting drafted to the NFL, or something. Yeah, it’s cool. I almost cried in front of The Undertaker. I didn’t, I didn’t, but I almost did. I’m a pretty emotional person and that was pretty cool to see.”
