dbp:quote | - "When we first went down, when they first got this building, it was a school. You know, like an elementary school. And we went down and they unhooked, like [the doors] had been chained shut, and they broke the bolt on it and unchained it. And I'm thinking 'We're gonna' find, you know, the body of a drug addict in here! What is this?'. And the ceilings needed to be torn out. The whole place needed to be gutted. And they have really, and not just Jim and Quinn, but all the wrestlers, trainees, and volunteers, and other people who really went in there and [...] have turned it into a great little arena. Its got great lighting, and its got a stage, and it's also a great training venue where we have a chance to now train new students and train the next generation." (en)
