TESTIMONIALS & ENDORSEMENTS : "Kevin Knight does a great job of training future stars of sports-entertainment. To make it in professional wrestling today is tough because there are no more minor leagues...this is why what Kevin does is the future of the sport. Kevin has the best facility and methods for training I have seen...I wish I had this when I started." - WWE Hall of Famer John Bradshaw Layfield (2009) “If you want the best school to become a professional wrestler, it’s all about the IWF. From learning how to wrestle, from learning how to do interviews. There have been many wrestlers who have had the door opened for them in the WWE, why, because they know what they are doing in the IWF. They give you the time and the training that you need. The number one school is the IWF, and I am a part of the IWF. I guarantee you, the students do learn.” - WWE Hall of Famer Tito Santana (2011) "IWF School continues to provide top-notch training necessary to become a successful professional wrestler. Desire comes from the heart and Kevin Knight is passionate about making sure these students are aware of the dedication you must possess…both mentally and physically…to work hard every day to improve in the ring as a performer." - WWE Hall of Famer Honky Tonk Man (2009) "IWF impresses me in many ways. Kevin Knight and everyone involved are constantly looking for ways to improve and help their students be the best. I enjoy doing clinics at IWF because I know the students are hungry and looking to better themselves. Kevin has taught these students the respect for the business and this is why I would recommend his people for extras and training partners for WWE Superstars." - Legendary WWE Head Coach Dr. Tom Prichard (2015) "Just wrestled for IWF in West Paterson, NJ, with old ring rival, now amigo, Tom Prichard, and had a great time. Anyone interested in becoming a wrestler in the area, this is the company. They have a great training facility and Tom Prichard, WWE head trainer at FCW in Tampa, frequents the school and does clinics. Check it out mates! The greatest training camp in the world." - WWE Hall of Famer Bushwhacker Luke (2011) "I've traveled all over the world countless times. I've been in every gymnasium and wrestling school...I've been everywhere. But now, I find the IWF and their training facility. Bar none, this is the finest training facility and wrestling camp that I have ever come across. A tremendous facility with all the potential to be world-class. I have attached myself to the Independent Wrestling Federation, to this facility, and to Kevin Knight, and I will make sure that we produce nothing but champions!" - WWE Legend Young Stallion Jim Powers (2010) "Tom Prichard (IWF School Guest Coach) can get it done. Wish I could go to IWF. Never too old to learn!" - WWE Hall of Famer Jake 'The Snake' Roberts (2016) "Everyone here is on the right track. Hopefully one day soon, I'll see some of you students in the big leagues." - WWE Legend & UFC Champion Ken Shamrock (2002) "Never forget where you came from. Salute to IWF School for giving me my first start." - WWE Superstar & IWF Graduate Darren Young (2018) "A proper start in pro wrestling is imperative. I am thankful for mine at IWF School." - WWE Referee & IWF Graduate Shawn Bennett (2020) "It was an honor to work (as a Guest Coach) here. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to pro wrestling. Guys like Kevin Knight don't come along very often. Kevin has run a top wrestling school for 20 years. Hope you get the respect you are due." - Legendary WWE & OVW Coach Rip Rogers (2017) "Thank you for everything, without you guys I would be lost." - WWE Diva & IWF School Graduate Dawn Marie (2001) "Camp IWF has a heck of a program. Kevin Knight is doing it right and these other fly-by-night schools should take an afternoon and see how it is supposed to be done." - Former ECW Champion & WWE Producer Steve Corino (2001) "Good luck with your school, it is one of the better places to learn today." - WWE & ECW Superstar Nunzio (2005) "I have been to Camp IWF and was quite shocked when I walked in the door. Kevin Knight runs a great operation. He has a great team of people. Everyone is helpful and nobody is full of themselves. It feels like family. Everyone brings something to the table." - WWE Superstar & World's Strongest Female Bodybuilder Nicole Bass (2002) "In 2000, I began training at IWF. The IWF is in a class of its own when it comes to safety, cleanliness and professionalism. When I first began training at the age of 18, I was unsure of what to expect. I was only 5'3" and not an incredible athlete. My parents were nervous that I was making the wrong decision. All of our concerns were relieved within the first day of training. Kevin Knight is not a fly-by-night "promoter" with a sketchy background. He's a college graduate who truly dedicates his life to the craft. And there aren't many wrestling organizations who provide the community service and philanthropy that the IWF does. The real proof of the school's ability, however, is in the results: at the time of this writing, (several) WWE and Impact stars laid the foundation of their of pro wrestling careers in the IWF. If you are looking for a first-class place to train, in a safe environment by true professionals, the IWF is the place for you." - WWE Creative Services Copywriter & IWF Graduate Kev Kage (2012) Did You Know ? Since 1999, students from 20 states trained with IWF from Alabama, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
