Wisteria Potential

I have this Wisteria growing in the garden and I was thinking of digging it up and training it. The trunk is nice and thick but I'm not sure if it has much potential further up as it splits in two and twists. Any suggestions on training and the safest way to dig it up.

In Australia they are very strong growers. Not sure when the best time to dig them out is though. If you do go ahead and dig this up you should let it grow untouched and see what natural form it develops. I personally would remove the two twisting trunks.

That would be more interesting than what appears to be a straight trunk with little taper. Then let the bottom resport while still in the ground and see what it turns into.
