"All That" Matt Murphy

When Matt first came to the school in the summer of last year, he impressed the Harley Race Academy staff immediately with his athleticism and his desire to be the best at what he does. Murphy endured much - like the rest of the students at the Academy - long hot days of continuous cardiovascular exercises followed by hours and hours of ring work to be the best that he can be. To his credit Murphy has racked up a very impressive won/loss record while with World League Wrestling and has notched up victories against the Disco Inferno, the Harris Brothers, Bobby Eaton and has had a time limit draw with Mark Jindrack. Murphy still continues to come into the gym at the Harley Race Academy on a regular basis to improve and assist the instructors with the development of current students. It is safe to say that the Missile should have a very successful career and will be a household name for years to come.

Super Star Steve

From the first day Super Star Steve came into the Harley Race Academy, Harley knew that Steve was destined for greatness. Since that day Steve has continued to impress everyone involved with the Harley Race Academy and World League Wrestling. While no angel in the ring, with his style it is obvious the Steve has idolized Harley Race for many years. Known for his top rope headbutt and highflying ability, Steve has impressed everybody including a prominent WCW talent scout that is anxious to see the Superstar again. While Steve has not been as successful against some of the top talent he has faced they were greatly impressed with the youngsters' ability and know that he will be a force in this business for years to come. Steve impressed WCW veteran Meng when they competed recently to the point that Meng was heard telling Harley Race that the kid will definitely be a Superstar someday soon.

Deputy Dale

While juggling a full time job and pursuing a wrestling career is very difficult for most people to perform, Deputy Dale has done this while going through the Harley Race Academy and working every night as a police officer for the Lake Ozark Police Department. Deputy Dale has battled through injuries and lack of sleep at times just to get into the gym and perfect his craft. All those around him can feel the heart that Dale brings into the school as he has walked into the gym in his uniform coming off of work and walked back out in his uniform on his way back to work. Dale has been able to use the teaching from the academy along with the teaching of his law enforcement training to his advantage on more than one occasion in the ring. While his won/loss record might not be the most impressive of the graduates of the Harley Race Academy his desire and dedication to be the best that he can be is very impressive and the Academy expects great things from him in the future.

Wild Wade Chism

It was obvious from the day he walked through the doors at the Harley Race Professional Wrestling Academy, that this former semi-pro baseball player had IT. Complete with a great physique from years in the weight room, an unmatched desire to succeed in wrestling, an infectious personality that has made him one of the most popular wrestlers in WLW, great things were expected right away and Wade has not disappointed. In only his second match as a professional wrestler, Chism shocked World League Wrestling when he scored a pin-fall on the former WLW Champion Trevor Rhodes. Making this even more shocking was Chism had not even graduated the Harley Race Academy when this match took place. Being only the second student of the Harley Race Wrestling Academy to compete in WLW before he graduated, the other being Superstar Steve, is something that Wild Wade Chism is extremely proud of. With the impact that Chism has made in his short time since wrestling on a full time schedule, he has many people in the locker room talking about him as a future WLW World Heavyweight Champion.

Josh Besore

While definitely not the largest student to walk into the Harley Race Wrestling Academy, Besore proved that he had heart as he endured brutally hot grueling days going through move after move and hold after hold until he could probably do them in his sleep. The road to the World League Wrestling ring was not an easy path for Josh as he suffered some hindering injuries along the way that kept him out of the school for about 2 months this past winter. Again proving his desire to succeed in the wrestling industry, Besore persevered through it all and rededicated himself after the time away, and proceeded to excel with leaps and bounds under the watchful eye of Harley Race and "All That" Matt Murphy. While still not the biggest dog in the fight, Besore definitely has the heart to succeed in the wrestling industry for years to come.

Marc Godecker

Marc from the very beginning stood out as having tremendous potential. With months of hard work and dedication Godecker is beginning to realize his potential. Having spent countless hours in the weight room and in the ring at the Academy, under the watchful eye of Harley Race and the trainers at the Harley Race Wrestling Academy, Marc has transformed into what could be one of the premier competitors in the ranks of World League Wrestling. While his debut match with WLW did not quite go his way as far as the won/loss category is concerned, it definitely opened up the eyes of those in the locker room. To those who have witnessed the transformation of Godecker, they believe that with his work ethic, great things are ahead for the youngest wrestler in WLW.
