High Impact Training Facility

The High Impact Training Facility (H.I.T.) is a professional wrestling school and workout facility based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, founded in 1999.

History
The H.I.T. was originally a gym overseen by several professional wrestlers who were employees of the Extreme Wrestling Association. The facility was first seen on EWA television during a vignette war between its owners and a rival faction, The MOB. After the battle between stables became physical, the MOB violently attacked the facility's handlers with weapons and ran them out of the building completely.

The MOB, consisting of "Perfect" Paul Paras, "Marvelous" Mario Maurako, Martino Maurako (as the masked Blue Thunder), and "The Postman" Arthur Carrington, claimed the facility for their own and named it after their newly-branded wrestling style, High Impact, a hybrid style of power, submission, and aerial maneuvers. The H.I.T. would be remodeled to feature state-of-the-art training equipment, a full-size wrestling ring, an Olympic-size swimming pool, and a 15-foot-high statue of its four founders at its epicenter.

Paras and Mario Maurako have remained at the facility as trainers since its inception, each guiding the careers of numerous wrestling rookies. Carrington returned to training duties at the facility in 2009.
