HEAD TRAINER - ADAM HOUCK (JUDE)

Having been an extreme professional wrestling fan since youth, Adam took the opportunity to train with David Cattin in 2006.

Adam has become an exemplary student of the industry. His quick study of catch wrestling, freestyle, lucha libre, and acrobatic styles has developed him into a respected wrestler, referee, and trainer in the Midwest. He was promoted to Head Trainer in 2023.

Since then he has established himself and wrestled for Minnesota Extreme Wrestling (MEW), SIC-W, Kansas City Xtreme Wrestling (KCXW), Whiplash Wrestling, Next Level Elite Wrestling, and Top of Texas Pro Wrestling, IWA Productions.

Adam has had the opportunity to work with known wrestlers including Angel Medina, and in recent years, he has appeared as an extra on AEW.

Adam has transitioned into mainly training and refereeing, which has led to the opportunity to ref matches for Scott Steiner, Nyla Rose, Buff Bagwell, Kevin Thorne, and Rhyno, to name a few.

Other passions include music, and he is able to play guitar, bass, drums, and keyboard. In high school, Adam was part of a band called “Never Falls Down” and they even made their own album.

During 2020, when the world began its descent into the covid pandemic, Adam made the best of a bad situation by changing his wedding plans. He ended up getting married in the wrestling ring at XWC!

Adam is incredibly proud of the “catio” that he and David teamed up to build over the summer of 2021 at Adam’s residence in Kearney, Missouri.

PRESIDENT/TRAINER - DAVID CATTIN

David started backyard wrestling in 1999-2000. He trained in St. Joseph at the CSWS training facility for roughly 2 months. When the backyard received news coverage, Derek Stone reached out to train at CSWS, where David trained with him for roughly a year.

During that time, David worked for several companies as a wrestler, as well as a ref and a manager.

After he and Derek Stone parted ways, David continued to work in wrestling, until his daughter Adison was born.

David took a long break from the industry, but returned to create a place where people could work and train. After years of planning, he formed both the XWC and KCXW with his partners Adam Houck and Jordan Rogers.

In his early years, "Smooth As Satin" David Cattin earned championships as both a singles and tag team competitor, during which he earned the opportunity to work with known wrestlers including Bam Bam Bigelow and Honky Tonk Man. David has wrestled in the states of TX, OK, SD, IL, KY, TN, AK, IN, NM, NE, IA, and of course Kansas and Missouri.

He has wrestled for Next Level Elite Wrestling (NLEW), Kansas City Xtreme Wrestling (KCXW), Universal Championship Wrestling, Ultimate Championship Wrestling, XXX Wrestling, All Star Wrestling (ASW), and Whiplash Wrestling.

The experience David has gained on the Independent Circuit has been transferred into the training at the Xtreme Wrestling Center, and his ability to guide prospective students through our course stands as evidence of his passion and patience in transferring this important knowledge.
Other passions include his family and all things nerd!

David is proud of being able to accomplish this impressive wrestling history while being a single father. He has also been able to attain a management level position at his current employer.

ASSISTANT TRAINER - WILL AULT

Will has been interested in wrestling since he was a kid. He used to “practice” with his siblings and friends, throwing his first powerbomb on his brother at age 11. Lots of things got broken around the house and this led his mom to ban wrestling in their house for a few years. He started his wrestling training here at the XWC in June 2017, then had his first match just 4 months later in October 2017!

Since then, he has wrestled in multiple states including MO, KS, NE, IL, IN, and CO for a variety of different companies, including Kansas City Xtreme Wrestling (KCXW) and New Breed Wrestling (NBW).

During his time with Xtreme Wrestling Center, Will has helped fill multiples different roles from running social media, operations manager, and now as a trainer. His passions include his children, his bulldog puppy, and doing nerdy stuff. He does occasionally wrestle with his kids, but a lot less things get broken now.
