Offered a professional contract
“Like a dream!” Olympian soon to be a wrestler?
Olympic judo athlete Aaron Fara could soon be working for the world's largest wrestling organization WWE. Like 17 other athletes who competed in Paris, he was invited to an audition in Orlando (Florida) and has now been offered a professional contract, as have two others.
"It's like a dream, but nothing is fixed yet. The negotiations have only just begun," the 27-year-old from Lower Austria is quoted as saying in an ÖJV press release.
The 1.93-meter man trained for three days at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. According to the Austrian Judo Association, World Wrestling Entertainment has an annual turnover of more than 1.3 billion US dollars (1.22 billion euros) and events are broadcast in more than 150 countries.
Fara is well known in the scene for always having a catchphrase. At the Summer Games, he suffered an opening defeat against the defending champion.
