10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Taya Valkyrie
7. World Of Hurt
Speaking of training under Lance Storm, it wasn't just an illustrious wrestling career Taya gained from learning under him, as she also starred on his Canadian reality television series titled World of Hurt. Who else was a star on that show? None other than WWE Hall of Famer, 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper.
The series, which broadcast in 2011 on Canadian television network The Cave, was a ten-part reality show featuring Lance Storm (in season one), Roddy Piper (in season two), and ten students, including Taya, Tenille Dashwood, and forgettable NXT star Sylvester Lefort. Essentially, the show was based around the up and comers learning the ropes, but you can see why it wasn't on air for too long.
For what it was, the show was tacky. It preferred to focus on the lives of the ten students outside of the ring a little too much for this writer's liking. As a reality television fan, it ticks all the boxes, but as a show that features legitimately on pro wrestling training, it failed to showcase this to the best of its ability.
It's still a great accolade to have on your record, though. Not only can Taya proclaim about her reality television 'career', but she can proclaim to have starred alongside 'The Hot Rod'. Every little thing counts when you're just starting your career.
