2014 Rookies of the Year


2014 Rookies of the Year

The first year of a professional wrestler's career is usually pretty tumultuous.  It takes a lot hard work, patience, willingness to learn and god given talent to make a real impact in your first year.  In my opinion there was one real obvious choice for Rookie of Year along with two others that I feel made significant enough impact to deserve mention.


Moose Ojinakka is the 2014 georgiawrestlingfans.com Rookie of the Year

It would be tough to not call former NFL player Moose Ojinnaka the Georgia Rookie of the Year for 2014. How many professional wrestlers make it to the Ring of Honor in their first year?  His impact is undeniable. I have had the opportunity to work with Moose several times and came away impressed each time.  Moose is a naturally gifted athlete who has not even yet begun to truly blossom as a wrestler.  In my opinion he has more potential  upside than any professional wrestler from Georgia in a long time.  With continued development of his in-ring skills the sky is the limit.

There were two other young wrestlers that I felt deserved mention.


Honorable Mention: Colt Callaway

Colt Callaway has had an incredible year.  He has worked hard to learn and seems to be booked everywhere along side Drew Adler.  I have had the opportunity to witness his growth firsthand throughout 2014 and was impressed by his willingness to listen.


Honorable Mention: Odinson

Odinson made an impact every time he walked through the curtain.  His presence alone made fans stand up and pay attention.  Odinson is more than a hulking brawler, he can wrestle.  I also had the opportunity to work with Odinson and there are not many kids more humble.  With more experience, Odinson could be another WWA4 trainee to move on to bigger and better things.
