Answer 2

You have to go to a decent wrestling school. They cost 2,000 dollars for two months has a usual rate. You have to go to the school for usually 6 months. In the first week of wrestling school, usually 90% or more people drop out of the school. This week is all bruises and vomit. After you pass, you have to travel the independent circuit. You could make 20-100$ a night has a usual rate and wrestle anywhere up to 3 times a week. Don't expect to make a living off money from the independent circuit. To get to a bigger company, you have to inpress people that attend the small events that work for the bigger companies. It can take years upon years to reach the big time, you might never reach the big time or you could reach the big time like Masters or Ken Doane did in a very short time. If you want to make bigger companies, you should get some credentials behind you like high school wrestling or college football.

Answer 3

Years of training AND AN EDUCATION AND A JOB TO FALL BACK ON. Do NOT plan on wrestling for WWE, because most guys never do. Wrestling is NOT a hope for success, it's really not. You're just not going to make a living off of it. Guys in WWE have to pay for their own flights and hotels, and, unless they're one of the top guys, are barely paid enough to do that. It's not a glamorous lifestyle, and you have to be willing to make it your entire life if you expect to get anywhere.

Answer 4

i was 8, Its too late for you to start training dude, I have been learning since I was ! I am now 16 and will be trying out for WWE when I am 18/19! Also you get the gimic that the WWE gives you, so you don't have a choice of what kind of wrestler you get to be. Sorry but it is too late for you.

Answer 5

if your high school has a wrestling team then join it...if it doesn't then hit the gym and work out. You have to keep your passion for the sport which will make you want to work out and become more fit to wrestle instead of it being a inconvience for you....continue to become more fit and flexable until you graduate and can enroll at a wrestling school that will give you workout schedules along with wrestling experience.

good luck!

Answer 6

Lift weights,come up with your own image or persona and talk to others that are on the wrestling team and ask them to show you some basic moves.I agree that you should do better in your education though.Part of being a wrestler is to NEVER give up on ANYTHING and I think that would apply to education too.
