Pro wrestling isn't everyone's dream
but for some people living
in Western Australia,
it's all they think about.
Nikora Tuhakaraina runs
a pro wrestling school,
and he's helping them realise
their potential in the sport.
Tuhakaraina was a wrestler
in the states a few years ago,
but due to a surgery mishap,
he's now on a mission
to help others live their dreams.
Anzac Pikia caught up
with him in Western Australia.
Some think it's all acting.
In an outback town
in Western Australia,
you'll find Nikora Tuhakaraina's
pro wrestling school.
But they're adults not kids.
Tuhakaraina has 20+ students.
Two of them are Maori.
Tuhakaraina is famous in America
for pro wrestling.
It has been a dream of his
since he was a kid.
When he returned
from the States in 2012,
back pain lead him
to have it operated on.
The operation went bad,
leaving him wheelchair-bound.
And the students are benefiting.
And they really want to follow
in Tuhakaraina's footsteps.
Tuhakaraina trains budding pro
wrestlers five nights of the week,
helping people realise their dreams.
