I've always dreamed of becoming a pro wrestler and I am about five foot eight and 180lbs. I know that becoming big time in anything is a long shot. But could a guy who is average height, who is not Rey Mysterio Jr. or Mistico succeed and make it to TNA or the WWE?

Well, if you train hard and go to the right schools, you have a good shot at making it to TNA or WWE. You'ed also have to work out and get a good build. You'ed also have to be pretty athletic. Height and Weight dosen't matter THAT much, but cruiserweights are 175 LBS- 220 LBS. So, you'ed be a cruiserweight as long as you put on some mass and muscle.
Anyways, good luck with your training, and I hope to see you against Undertaker soon :D
P.S.-Some heights and weights are exagerated
EXAMPLE: Undertaker is billed as 6 foot 10, and 305 pounds, but he's 6 foot 7 1/2, 280 LBS.

Anyone can "succeed" as long as they've got the talent. Or, in John Cena's case, absolutely no talent but tons of charisma. These days, though, WWE is all about just big, muscular guys who can barely even move, let alone put on a good match. But you can always just walk right into ROH's school, and if you've got it, end up with a shot in TNA.
Another thing to remember is how many cruiserweights have actually been heavyweight champions in WWE. Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio. Being a cruiser obviously doesn't mean anything.

You absolutely have a shot at it. It's all about hard work and avoiding the shotcuts. Steroids will leave you 6 feet under.
Rey, HBK, Eddie Guerrerro (pre roids) all these guys are small compared to the big dudes but they have speed and agility and can fly high. I think that can make for a great show.
Dream Big and Don't quit.

They bump them all up. Some get more height than weight, some more weight than height. It depends on what they need to sound bigger. I once met Macho Man Randy Savage and the guy was at least six inches shorter than me. I go six-one...

Hey anything is possible as long as you're confident in yourself(not to confident though we dont need another randy orton ;p).
I know I want to be a wrestler I'm a girl thats 5'0 98 WITH a seziure disorder and you think that's gonna stop me? Not by a long shot.
Good luck with you're dream!

Generally the heights and weights are exaggerated. Kane is listed as 7'0 325 when he is actually about 6'9 290. Id say they would bill you as being 6'0 220 if you had any skill. Kane RULES!!

Yes. Often pro wrestlers heights and weights are exaggerated to make them look even bigger then they really are.

I cant say that they are , but i definetely think they are , theres no way snitzky is seven three . But the weight , well I think its not over exaggerated , these guys use steroids to maximize there exercise and probably gain a lot of weight from it since muscle ways three times more than fat.
