I knew a guy that was on MTV trying to become a professional wrestler.  He was an idiot.  You have to have character and work out a lot.  They have tryouts, you just have to find out where the try outs are and go.  Contact WWE.

First of all to all the people that say wrestling is fake that is true but only to an extenet.  A good memory will not do a damn thing for you.  It is very possible to be a professional wrestler.  TNA has a school devoted to it, I would try going there first,  Wreslters are told how to start a match and how to finish it.  The middle is decided by them.  So just train hard and you will make it.  You might not be the next CM Punk or John Cena who are in the spotlight, but you can be a professional wrestler

Im a wrestler so we have to loose wieght in order to make a specific weight class. What i do to loose wheight is cardio activitie, so like biking , runing or skipping ( but wear lots of clothes, because it makes u sweat more and burn more calories).  Also the drive: the end result, thats my drive to loose wieght, also wen u 've done it u feel like u've acomplished something. Eat ice cubes, it feels like ur eating but ur not... also try to eat lots of protein and only the ammount of fat and carbs that ur supposed to have.

I don't even wrestle, but I believe what you are saying. Unfortunately, it is the way of people today to wait to be discovered instead of making it happen.  Then they think the world owes them something because they never got that big break!  I'm too much of a chicken pooh to go out for the Diva searches, but I am not sitting around waiting to be made a star either!  If I could I would train to be a wrestler!  *takes a bite of apple*  That would be cool!

Step one: aquire a back yard\nStep two: collect an assortment of "fun" utilites that you or someone else may enjoy seeing people get hit with.\nStep three: invite retards to house for backyard wrestling.  Motivation for them to wrestle should be preconceived as you do not want the retards to turn on you.  \n\nGood luck!

Ok I got the low down because all of these other people are terribly misinformed. First you have to move to the US. Most of the WWE's shows are located in the U.S so you will need to get here. Then you will need to sign up for a wrestling school. The best school there is, is wwa4(www.wwa4.com). The reason why OVW is a horrible school is because they have a contract with the WWE and they are more focuse on training people who already have been hired by WWE, if you konw absolutely nothing about wrestling they will take your money and not teach you anything. They promise you will be seen be WWE agents but that will kill your career because you only want them to see you when your phenominal, if they see you when your just learning they will see how terrible you are and won't even give you another chance. I gotta also tell you that even if you want to be the person who sets up the rings and everything else you still got to go to wrestling school. It  may be weird but remenber that before Chris Benoit was a wrestler he was in the crew that sets up the stage and the ring.\nEdit: Ultimate University is a proving ground for WWE superstars, they will be more focused on getting those with contracts to the WWE then training some one who is just learning so avoid them. Killer Kowlaskis is also a ahorible school because number one it is already closed and no longer exists so I should say was a terrible school because his training space was small and he did not actually teach there, he hired some pawns to drag people along and take their money. Also avoid training schools started by current or former wrestler because likely they will be too busy to show up or even help you, the people they hire will be the ones to teach you and they only want you money. You will need to find a school that helps you with you vocabulary skills and teaches you how to speak on the mic. Why do you think Stone Cold and the Rock get so much money? Its because they know how to speak in front of crowds and get them fired up. I have personaly researched some 130 wrestling school in the U.S and the only one that truly is a good school is WWA4, trust me all the other will take your money and leve you high and dry.

This questions has been and always will be a matter of opinion.  As there is no win-loss records, and pro wrestling is not a true competive sport.  \nTo be able to evaluate the "greatness" of a wrestler, you must look at the following attributes:\n\nIn-ring ability\nMicrophone skills\nCrowd working\nWork ethic\nAbility to work with others\nInjury resistance\nAppearance (having "the look" is very important)\nMarketablility (since the 80's, this has become important)\n\nTaking these into account, I'd have to say Ric Flair as my answer.\n\nIn-ring: Although a "routine" wrestler, his in-ring skills are solid.\nMicrophone: has exemplary mic skills\nCrowd working: 80% of in-house crowds "whoooo" insanely (as well as with every chop from any wrestler)\nWork ethic:  in the 80's Mr. Flair worked 300 days a year\nWorking with others: although many workers complained about Mr. Flair, in the 90's and beyond, he has been willing to put many workers over.\nInjury resistance: a broken back... need I say more.\nAppearance: unique and flamboyant during an era where there were few.\nMarketablity:  The Four Horsemen were the first supergroup with such market longevity.\n\nIn contrast, Hulk Hogan:\n\nIn-ring ability: virtually non-existant\nMicrophone skills: Let me tell you something, brother.... brother.... brother\nCrowd working: Very, VERY good, if not the best. A true pioneer\nWork ethic: 12 PPV matches a year. Try working 12 days a year at your own job...\nAbility to work with others: Total creative control is not working with others.\nInjury resistance: See work ethic... can't get hurt if you don't work.\nAppearance: Truly impressive in 1984, commonplace in 1990\nMarketablility: The most marketable in wrestling history and the reason he and wrestling exploded.\n\nApplying the same evaluation to tag teams, I come up with Road Warriors, Hart Foundation, Fabulous Freebirds, Hollywood Blondes(Pillman & Austin), Mega-powers(Hogan & Savage), Midnight Express(Eaton & Lane), Anderson & Blanchard, New Age Outlaws, RVD & Sabu, Hall & Nash as the most likely candidates...\n\nI choose The Road Warriors (the ONLY AWA, NWA, and WWF tag champs).  Rest in peace Hawk.

Work hard on your moves. \n\nAlso, I think the WWE has training camps for people that actually want to join the WWE. Try searching on their official website for info or contacting them via email or phone.\n\nhttp://corporate.wwe.com/company/contacts.jsp

Depends..\nIf you want become rich very fast, be a sporty person!\nNerds are too conscious about it and can't make it. \nBut if you're a nerd, it's more fun because you can laugh at all these dumb brainless bodies around, unless, well, you have the tendency to getting envious on their success, popularity and money...

Everybody is nervous about first sport notority. (Since wrestling is mostly individual, all eyes are on you --- the stands, your teammates and your coach). DON"T WORRY ABOUT THEM !!! Listen to your coach for advise before and during the match. He may be able to do something to help settle down the nerves. All I can tell you is get a good night's sleep the two days before the match and the night before. Make sure you eat well (bananas help) to keep up your energy level. Take along some people for support, your parents, friends and family members. The thing to remember is go in with a clear head and the bugs will work themselves out quickly.  Remember, it could be your opponent's first match, as well !!! But if it isn't, the advantage is he has not seen you before for him to figure out your strategy, or your strengths and weaknesses. You didn't say where you are wrestling or your weight class. In any case, HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK AT YOUR FIRST MATCH AND DURING THE SEASON !!! Give us an update on how it went.

I never wrestled, but I knew plenty who do and did. Really, you have to be in outstanding shape for that sport. Your whole body must be strong and you have to have GREAT cardio conditioning. Run for distance and do sprints and jump rope to build up your wind.\n\nUpper body strenght is very important. If you want to add muscle, then you should lift heavier weights to build mass. Bench presses, curls, pull-ups, pull downs, curls, dips, dumbell flyes, tricep kickbacks are all great exercises for your upper body muscles. Do LOTS of push-ups too. They are great for all of your upper body muscles.\n\nDon't neglect your legs either. Squats, lunges, and leg presses will help with that.\n\nAlso, don't forget your abs and core muscles. They help with balance and overall power. Put together a good situp/crunch routine along with other exercises like leg lifts and planks to build strength in you stomach. \n\nGood luck!

If you're talking about pro-wrestling, I'd also start with a foundation in freestyle wrestling.  Then, look online at some of your local wrestling federations (believe me, they're out there) and go to a few events and meet the wrestlers.  Talk to them and ask to work out with them to learn the craft.  I've know people who started at that level and kept working at it even after getting the tar kicked out of them...at least on made it to Raw and is traveling the contry.  Not many make it big, but if you like closing your own wounds, go for it!

If you really want to be a pro soccer player you need two very important things:\n\nFirstly you need to have the required skill level to be considered.\nSecondly you have to have the luck to be seen by the right people to take a chance on you. You need the breaks as there are thousands of very good players out there who never get seen. For every one that makes it there are several hundred that don't.\n\nHaving met these two criteria it is all down to hard work.\n\nGood Luck with your dreams.

Look into Johnny Rodz school of wrestling in Brooklyn, NY as your closest opportunity and most reputable.  The "unpredictable" Johnny Rodz has trained Tazz, Devon Dudley, Tommy Dreamer and many more.  Next, I would look into Afa's Wild Samoan school in Sciota, PA. It's only an hour away from New York City. Also, Afa has a reputable name. He's trained Billy Kidman and Batista as well, who both made it.  There is also a school in Massachusetts called Chaotic.  It merged with Killer Kowalski's school of wrestling.  There are a few wrestlers from there currently wrestling in the WWE developmental league.  \n   Also, let me tell you, it is hard getting into this business.  I myself trained.  They were glad to take my money (I did not train in any of the above schools.  The one's I mentioned are reputable, especially the first two).  I ended up getting hurt because of the guy I was wrestling.  I don't know how contracts are structured today, but in the beginning....there is no contract if you are hurt.  Your not making the company money, so they are not going to pay you for nothing.  I'm not trying to discourage you, but just wanted to give you a few tidbits.  Best of luck to you!
