Okay, so I want to be a WWE wrestler, but I don't know where to start. I'm going into High school, what is the first thing i should do, and what should I do to follow that up to keep going, and hopefully eventually go to the WWE?

The first thing you need to do is GET IN SHAPE. Make working out a daily habit, and that means focusing on cardio and weight training.
Secondly, you have to get trained at a pro-wrestling school. You can usually find one close to you via a quick internet search, but you have to check out the school ahead of time, cause there are a lot of rip-off artists out there. Make sure it's a quality school. Questions to ask would be, "who has trained at this school that I would know of today?" FYI, 99% if the schools out there won't train you unless your 18, so if you aren't, just focus on getting in shape until you are.
As someone mentioned, if you're near Ohio Valley Wrestling or Deep South Wrestling, you may be able to train with one of them if you can impress with a try out. They are both affiliated with the WWE and serve as training grounds for future WWE superstars.
If not, then the indies is where you'll learn your craft after you finish training at a school. Almost every pro-wrestler starts life paying their dues on the independent wrestling scene. There are tons of independent promotions out there across the country to get booked for. Some of the top tier, cream of the crop promotions are Pro Wrestling Guerilla, Combat Zone Wrestling, Full Impact Pro, Chikara, and the number one indie promotion in north america: Ring of Honor.
After that, it's just a matter of getting your name out there and continuing to try out for the WWE at OVW or just hoping that they'll notice what youre doing on the indies.

First-
You need to make sure you REALLY want to do this.
Second-
You have to know that the road to becoming a wrestler isnt easy. As many people will tell you, the industry is cold. But you do what you want!
Third-
get into some good physical strength. Train at some local gym and get (strong)...but you dont have to be to big.
Fourth-
Get a good trainer. Learn some moves, make up a few moves. Good ring skills.
Fifth-
Dont do anything big yet. Do some small fights to see if you are ready.
Six-
They have this thing called OVW- Ohio valley wrestling. Its in Kentucky, from what i hear. The WWE takes wrestlers from there.
Seventh-
GOOD LUCK!!!!

First take as many steroids as you can find to get as big as you can then call OVW. Secondly, only learn about 4-5 moves. Third, use these same 4-5 moves in each match and before you know it, you will WWE champ for 9 months at a time on a consistent basis.

You have to train for it. They'll hire you if you have experience and I bet that's what they look for. You must train then get into an independent wresting promotion. There are many around the world. The people at the wrestling promotion could send your tapes to the talent coordinators at the WWE then they'll hire you.
If you get hired they may send you to one of their training promotions. Currently they have two, Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) in Louisville, Kentucky and they have Deep South Wrestling (DSW) in Atlanta, Georgia. After there they may bring you up to one of the main rosters (RAW, SmackDown, or ECW)
