Of course. I've always been athletic. Problem I have is shelling out a couple of thousand dollars for the school.
Right now, I'm in college and think that is the better investment. When I'm done, maybe I'll consider it.

I did and wanted to then i went to wrestling school after i graduated high school and it wasn't for me. There was a ton of politics and its complete bullshit. Also trying to work a job and do it is hard in itself. You wake up the next day sore having to go to work or get off work then go train and its a busy, long day. I did have fun for a while i won't pretend like i didn't meeting some cool people and hanging out with some well known wrestlers from TNA, but it just wasn't for me and some people it is, some it isn't but i can at least say i tried.

I have before, and a local wrestling fed still asks me to do shows occasionally. But right now i´m in bad shape, so I´m staying away from it for a while. As said, wrestling school is too caught up in politics. Until I get treated better, I´m just staying at home.

I thought about it but after doing indies i learned its some of the worst most unprofessional business people in the world. I like guranteed work and steady income so no thanks.

Yep, my tentative plans right now call for me going to college and getting a degree in finance. Then I plan on going to Philly and either training in the Chikara Wrestle Factory or ROH's school. But that's around 5 years away, so who knows what will happen?
I'm working on losing some weight and increasing my cardio so it won't be a total hell when I do start.

When I was young, it was my dream. The older I got, the more I realized how rough of a life it would be, traveling all the damn time and getting thrown around. Not to mention all the politics and whatnot that would probably kill the passion dead. I would love to be involved with WWE at its core, just the idea of it. Calling a match, working as a manager (remember those?), doing behind the scenes stuff. Still love the idea in itself.

Im currently training to, but im having second thoughts. We had special guest trainer come out (who will remain nameless, but this guy is HUGE. A multiple time winner of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, and someone I really look up to in the ring) and he ended up walking out on the class because he didnt feel safe working with anyone in the ring. Then we all got chewed out for it.

I did, but that dream kind of got killed by many surrounding me.

They're always intriguing until you find out the actual reality behind them. Then you see them in a completely different light.

I have since I started watching wrestling when I was 7 years old and I'm now approaching 18. I am going to try and see where It takes me. You either have to really love the sport or not. If it has been something you really wanted to do since you were a kid and have dreamed day in and day out about becoming a Pro Wrestler, then your bound to make it somewhere in the business. Becoming a wrestler isn't something you can just say "I'm going to try it because it looks cool". You have to really have a love for the business and most of the time, its not meant for everyone. I know people talk about politics but it's like any other occupation in entertainment, Know Your Place and Respect and listen Always.
I tried Wrestling school for a little back in 2009 and it took a small toll because I was wrestling and still going to school. The next day, I would wake up sore and it took an extra 15 minutes for me to get ready for school and onto the bus. Like I said, It's not for everyone. I plan on going to a degree in Broadcast Journalism then find a school up north like the Chikara Wrestle Factory or the ROH Wrestling Academy. And ill let it roll from there. I spoke to AJ Styles on a TNA Live Chat earlier and I asked him for advice about anyone who wanted to get into the business and he said "Have a backup plan - Plain and simple". So anyone who wants to try it, Good Luck and maybe we will meet in the ring someday.

Its all ive been thinking about lately. Right now im just trying to plan out how im going to make it and what im gonna have to do. I want to be a big time wrestler, nothing else. I realize its going to be really difficult but i really want to do it and actualy make it. Working at a desk is not a option, no cashier, Wrestling is the only thing ive ever felt really passionate about and i hope one day ill be on tv with one of the top companies. I know that all might sound goofy and unrealistic to some but its how i feel and what i want.

often dreamt about it when I was in my late teens when the attitude era was huge.
strangely I used to picture being in a really tough well loved tag team.....and winning the tag titles on PPV in a super hot MSG in a street clothes no holds barred bloodbath.

I still do. Even if it's not wrestling exactly, I still want to be within the wrestling world in some fashion.

That is the attitude and motive that you need to have if you want to make it in the business.
