Johnny Ace says you must be 6'2''.....................screw the WWE political system...I contacted them about referee tryouts and sent tapes, they told me that I was too small. Too small to be a ref, what a crock of shit

They're not much taller than 5'6-5'10. I'm a little dude and that kind of thing really makes it feel like my dreams to be in WWE in some capacity are shattered

How long are they doing that for? I assume probably for a month or so; the actual posting is on the entertainmentjobs.net website, you can view for free but if you actually want to apply you need to register (which costs montly)

i was at upw for a year, and im glad i left. that place has a bigger boner for roided up freaks than vince mcmahon. rick bassman. hes a tiny rich bitch from the valley who needs to surround himself with big dudes, because hes so small. most of my friends left upw also, due to being overlooked cuz of their size.... and these guys were big themselves... but apparently they werent "masterpieces"

Maybe at this time all they are looking for is big people, not atheletic actual wrestlers.

If its big they want then go somewhere else. Benoit and Guerrero started off wrestling in Mexico, Japan, Europe, etc. before they received any sort of contract from the states. If you're good enough and make a name for yourself elsewhere you will eventually get noticed. Don't expect to be hired right away.

If U want to be in the WWE you should go to OVW.

UPW sucks anyways, I'd look into getting into TNA where they (used to) glorify cruisers and lightweights.

OVW would be a better choice and isn't all about having a certain height as much. I'm looking into it as soon as I'm finished college.

^apperance is every thing now a days, Ya, I mean because if your 6'1 your not talented, but at 6'2 your the next freakin ring great! WWE could learn a lesson from UFC, where the smaller guys seem to be the more popular fighters.
