With WWE's roster continuing to balloon to frankly outlandish proportions, the company are planning to expand the premises of their Orlando Performance Center with the addition of a new complex adjacent to the original building.

According to Bodyslam.net, WWE have purchased a 3,082.5 sq. foot lot next door to their training facility at Full Sail, on which they plan to erect a new building where budding talent will be able to work on entrances, timing and 'developing gimmicks'. A training centre for WWE's announce team will also be developed, which frankly, is long overdue.

The focus of the current Performance Center will shift to purely physical based work, allowing talent to hone their craft whilst also training their strength and conditioning. The building in Winter Park opened on 11 July 2013, over which time NXT and its associated brands have dramatically expanded. A source from within the company told Pro Sports Extra that at this stage, there was "just too much stuff" for the site to accommodate.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
