  1. They only work with one in Florida. I believe it's called FCW (Florida Championship Wrestling I am wanting to say) If you want to get to the WWE that's they best route.


  2. steps in order:

    1. get yourself a trampoline or buy or hire a ring.

    2. practice with your brother if you have one or one of your friends if thier interested in wrestling.

    3. Get yourself some wwe biography books and dvd's and study how all the top wrestlers got into the business.

    4. Get yourself some acting lessons.

    5. Like triple h says "study the game" like really get into it. If you become a wrestler you are going to have to live and breath the business. I dont want to sound g*y but i have heard all of the top wrestlers say it so im guessing it is true.

    5.Go to wrestling school if you are really interested in wrestling.

    Good Luck Mate I hope you do well!!


  3. i don know go to the wwe please answerhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

  4. Ok, here's a great answer to this (northern east coast, at least).  But it really depends on your size.

    If you're larger than 6'3" then the people you'd want to train with are Iron Mike Sharpe (in jersey), or Afa (Wild Samoans) in Pennsylvania... The reason I say this, is that through both of those trainers, you'll have a high chance of being scouted by the WWE at one point or another.  Both are former WWF'ers and they have a little "brand loyalty" so WWE sends them a scout every quarter.

    If you're smaller than 6'3" your best bet to even come close to being noticed is by training at JAPW's wrestling school, or with Mikey Whipwreck (New York) and get yourself trained on cruiser styles...  If you're good enough to get yourself into Ring of Honor or JAPW, then you'll have scouts from TNA showing up a lot.  If TNA shows interest for a written contract, WWE will be in short order to steal you away.  But I warn you, WWE's tactic is only to stop TNA from making you into a star...  you have no shot at anything really if that's how you won your contract.

    Lastly, if you're female, you're going to have a h**l of a time to get somewhere in the WWE.  You'd have to be a fitness model with model looks to even get close...  and then you'd have to be willing to get a boob job, or face job, AND be willing to train with Finlay.  But to get that far, you'd have to get noticed, and really, I have no clue how a girl can do that nowadays, since not many feds have a women's division anymore.

  5. Well like many things you have to start somewhere.

    You will find that there are various local wrestling competitions you can join.

    Studying something like stuntwork, martial arts (or even wrestling) is likely to help you.

    Many WWE people move into movie work, so also consider that.

    Get an agent, they movies and TV shows often need a bad guy number 2, to get hit on the head by the hero. Your agent can help you head into the world of WWE.

    Remember WWE is also acting and color, stuntmen in movies often need to act a little too.

    Follow your dream and get ready to rumble.

  6. InstructionsDifficulty: Challenging

    Training and Conditioning

    Step 1 Take up a sport other than wrestling. Many WWE wrestlers started as well-rounded athletes playing football or other sports. You don't need to be a world-class athlete, but you should be conditioned as a wrestling match is a strenuous activity. It may be fake and kayfabe but as one of the commercials say, the hazards are real. Obviously you cannot fake falling off a ladder so bear in mind the kind of punishment you may have to endure just to entertain.

    Step 2 Take up amateur wrestling in school. Having a background in actual competitive wrestling has never been required, but it will help. Fans are growing more and more to like wrestlers that can pull off actual wrestling moves.

    Step 3 Attend professional wresting schools. The WWE does not personally sponsor any schools, but there are many independent schools and some sponsored by smaller wrestling companies. Check online to find a school near your area. You can find some shools here online at Yahoo Answers or just Google it and something is bound to come up.

    Step 4 Take acting or speech classes. Remember that WWE wresting is a mix of sports and theater. You need to be an entertaining character as well as an athlete. In WWE, it's usually more about charisma more than wrestling ability or fighting skills.

    The Pro Wrestling Ladder

    Step A Try out for a smaller, independent wrestling organization. Maybe something like OVW (That was what Randy Orton was in) This is the same as starting in the minor leagues in major league sports. The big difference is you will have to rely on yourself to move upward.

    Step B Get a tryout in Ohio Valley Wrestling, located in Louisville, Kentucky. This is the official training ground for the WWE, and almost all their wrestlers come from here.

    Step C Move up to the WWE to perform in dark matches. You will first take part in matches put on for the live fans before the televised matches. From this point you may be be moved onto Heat - A show which gives newbes on WWE a chance to make their debut.

    Step D Move up to WWE television shows. Your character will be assigned to either Raw, SmackDown or ECW. Raw is meant to be 'The Big Cheese' of the WWE because it is televised live.

    I want to share a little blog I got from a site. Please... you must read the whole if you really want to be a wrestler-

    --------------------------------------...

    Professional Wrestling is now one of the most popular, exciting, and highest paying sports in the world today. And with that popularity and high pay, there is a whole new generation of aspiring young people who are seriously interested in one day becoming a Professional Wrestling Superstar. Wrestlers are some of the most famous celebrities in the world, and they do make tons of money, and their lives are pretty exciting. But most aspiring wrestlers do not realize that the life of a pro wrestler involves tremendous work, dedication, constantly traveling, and frequent painful injuries. Being a pro wrestler may seem glamorous, but it’s anything but.

    Most people only see wrestlers once or twice a week on television and think that’s all they do. What these people don’t get to see are all practices and rehearsals that are not televised. During these rehearsals and practice a wrestler is in the ring every day for hours at a time. And if you thing that’s not hard work, go to a wrestling school and go at it for about 15 minutes.

    Here is a typical day on the road for a WWE Pro Wrestler: You wake up at 7:00 in the morning. You get to the airport at 8:30. You take a flight across the country and arrive at 11:00. After renting a car, checking into a hotel room, and something to eat, it’s 1:00. Time to go to a photo shoot. So you drive to a mall and sign autographs until 3:00. It’s time to head on over to the arena. Getting through traffic, you might make it by 4:30. After you eat something and do a short workout, it’s 5:30. At that time you go talk to one of the bookers and he goes over your match with you. If you can find the time, you and your opponent do a quick run down of what’s going to happen. By then it’s 7:00 and it’s time to go on. You wrestle a match and leave the arena at 10:00. You get to the hotel by 12:00 and get some sleep before you do it all over again in the morning. Now find time to workout and keep the marvelous body a wrestler has. And you want some sort of social life don’t you? Good luck.

    But if you are determined, it isn’t impossible to become a wrestler. The first thing you must do is go to a local wrestling school. Prices vary between schools, but you can expect to pay a couple of thousand dollars for a good one. Ninety nine percent of people never make it past the school. Imagine high school football, except twice as hard. The trainer doesn’t care if you quit or not, he’s just doing his job. They let you know you’re going to get hurt, that’s unavoidable. Most people walk away from the school after the first week with painful bruises galore, sometimes worse. If you’re one of the truly tough and lucky, then it’s time for the independent federations.

    You’ll be working once or twice a week, in front of 100-300 people making $25 a night or sometimes nothing at all. This is to work on your ring skills and your personality. Some guys find themselves in these small leagues for years, others never make it past this stage. Now if you’re strong and lucky enough to get yourself booked in a show and a pro wrestling manager happens to be there, you have a slight chance he might like you. If he does, then you’ll be receiving a phone call or letter asking to wrestle a dark match. A dark match is a match done the night of a TV taping, but is not aired. They’re done to pump up the crowd. So you go to the big company, meet all the wrestlers, wrestle your match, and go home. Nine out of ten times you just wait for that to happen again. If you’re really a lucky one, you’ll get a phone call to come back and wrestle some more dark matches. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll get signed by a major company, such as World Wrestling Entertainment. This is the equivalent of the Major Leagues in Baseball.

    So as you can see, being a wrestler is a tough job. Even if you do make it through school and get hired by WWE, will you be able to handle the schedule? That’s something you have to ask yourself before you pursue this career.
