'Elite Company' episode one takes you into the OTC practice room to see our 2014 US World Team -a team featuring an interesting mix of first timers and veteran Olympians. In the series premiere, we see newcomer Ed Ruth, who Coach Burnett believes,"could win this year," contrasted by Olympic Gold Medalist and team veteran, Jake Varner. The young Ruth possess a skill set, a will to learn and a will to compete that makes him very dangerous at Worlds. Like Jordan Burroughs in 2011, Ed Ruth expects to make a big splash on the world scene coming right out of college. Jake Varner already knows what it's like to be at the top of the wrestling world. He's working hard so that he can feel that same way again.
