WWE Hall of Famers Ricky Morton and Alundra Blaze have reportedly been at the WWE Performance center as guest trainers this week. WWE routinely brings in experienced talent for z week or so to help with the training of the younger talent working for them.
Ricky Morton was inducted this year into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the Rock n Roll Express with partner Robert Gibson. Morton is the son of longtime Memphis-area referee Paul Morton and has been active since the 1970s. He has wrestled Memphis, Mid-South and Bill Watts, Smokey Mountain with Jim Cornette, the WWF and WCW in the late 1990s, and there most famous run with Jim Crockett’s NWA promotion in the late 80s. Morton and Gibson still appear on independent shows to the day as one of the most popular tag teams of all time.
Alundra Blaze was inducted into the Hall of Fame back in 2015. She was also known as Madusa for much of her career. She started wrestling in 1984 and has wrestled for the AWA, WCW, and had many runs in Japan. She entered the WWE in late 1993 when the company wanted to restart its women’s division and was multiple times champion. She famously left the WWF when her contract expired and appeared on WCW Nitro where she tossed the women’s championship belt into the garbage on live television. She also had a career as a monster truck driver starting in 1999.
While other guest trainers at the performance center went on to take more permanent trainer positions with the WWE, it is not expected that either will be given a more permanent role at the current time.
