IWF Pro Wrestling School Trainee and MTV Jersey Shore Superstar Angelina Pivarnick, as featured on TMZ | Independent Wrestling Federation in New Jersey MTV Star Angelina Pivarnick IWF Wrestling School Trainee MTV Jersey Shore Star Angelina trains at IWF Wrestling School TMZ on hand as MTV Reality Show Star Hits the Mat with Kevin Knight Posted: March 25, 2011 (WOODLAND PARK, NJ)- Angelina from the MTV Reality Show 'Jersey Shore' participated in her first training class with ring veteran Kevin Knight at IWF Wrestling School in Woodland Park, NJ, this past Tuesday evening. TMZ.com photographers and TMZ Live television cameramen were on hand for the training session. Angelina hit the mat with Knight and IWF American Champion Real Deal Flex Freeman. "Angelina was definitely not hesitant to hit the mat and get thrown around," Knight said. "She survived the first training session and learned some basic falls and takedowns." "Jersey" Angelina: Wrestling Is My Dream Job 3/7/2011 12:45 AM by TMZ Staff Forget reality television -- former "Jersey Shore" star Angelina has found her calling ... and we're told, it involves fighting gorgeous women in a wrestling ring while thousands of people watch. Sources close to Angelina tell TMZ, it all started after her appearance on TNA last week -- Angie had the most incredible time getting choked out by a smoking hot blonde chick ... and now she's hooked on suplexes and sleeper holds. According to sources, she's already taking her new career ambitions extremely seriously -- in fact, the former "Jersey" girl is all set to begin training next Tuesday at the Independent Wrestling Federation in West Paterson, NJ. It starts out pretty basic -- holds, how to take a fall, etc. -- but the schedule is pretty grueling ... four days a week. So far, no word on any long-term deal with TNA or WWE.

IWF Wrestling School Graduate and WWE Referee Shawn Bennett. As seen on RAW, SmackDown, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble and NXT. WWE Referee Shawn Bennett IWF Wrestling School Graduate The most thankless job in wrestling is that of referee. No one ever praises the effort of the man in the striped shirt. Rather, they are often the target of verbal and physical abuse. Nonetheless, Shawn Bennett does his best to call everything down the middle. However, there are a few drawbacks to taking charge in the ring, as occasional mishaps happen and Bennett will end up down for the count. Sometimes the person on the losing end of a bout will seek him out for a post match “discussion.” In the end, he is always there to do his job and that is to count one, two, three! Began training at IWF Wrestling School in July 2002 and graduated from the program in May 2003. Presided over many IWF title matches over the years and important bouts across the country. Bennett joined WWE NXT in 2013 and officiates bouts on RAW, SmackDown and Pay-Per-Views. Shawn was inducted into IWF Hall of Fame Class of 2017 as part of the Federation's 20th Anniversary celebration. In April 2020, Bennett refereed the Main Event of WrestleMania 36.
