Road agent (professional wrestling)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In professional wrestling, a road agent is an employee who travels with the wrestlers and acts as a liaison between the wrestlers and management. A road agent also helps plan matches and storylines. Often Road Agents are retired or semi-retired wrestlers. Sometimes they help train and teach younger active wrestlers and give constructive criticism.

Often, especially on the independent circuit, wrestlers double as road agents.
