Yep. I also wanted to be a pro Quarterback. I stopped growing tall, and kept growing fat and all my dreams were dashed.
So -- I make movies. Where I can get laid regularly without needing to be fit, good looking, rich, or even really talented, as has been proven historically.
All's well that end's well, I guess.

I am an Independent Professional Wrestler, and I will tell you first hand it is difficult. I would love to work for WWE, but I have a backup plan incase that doesnt work. I'm 5'10" and 175 pounds. Ontop of wrestling I am also working really hard on becoming a body builder which will also get my name out there. However, if that doesnt work either I have a full time job with benefits. Becoming a pro wrestler DOES NOT COME CHEAP! Training is expensive. Gear is expensive, and I'm not talking the prototypical gear that highspots sells. I'm talking great quality custom work. I have 7 pairs of tights, each costing over $100. Thats not including the knee pad covers and kick pad covers.
My advice for traveling would be to make sure you become friends with other wrestlers and car pool. Gas, tolls, and food gets a bit pricey to be doing it all alone.
My ultimate goal is to get to WWE. My main focus now is PWG. I want to work for PWG so bad. I think working guys like Ricochet, Trent, Hero, and others would help boost my skills as a wrestler and help further my popularity.
So far I have worked for: CZW, Beyond, Warriors of Wrestling, East Coast Pro Wrestling(ECPW), National Wrestling Superstars(NWS), Superstars of Wrestling(SOW), OnPoint Wrestling, NWA DAWG, Jersey Championship Wrestling(JCW). There may be one or two more that I cannot think of.
Just keep your head on straight. Make sure you STAY HUMBLE! The best advice I have been given is to ask questions, and LISTEN. Those guys that have paved the way before you can and will destroy you if you get a big head. If you proclaim you're the best, you better back it up. If someone gets a better spot on a card, theres probably a reason. Also, wrestling is a tricky business. That saying keep your friends close but your enemies closer is much more true in pro wrestling than you would think.

I think everyone that's said they wanna be a part of creative is more suited to do so than what they have there now. It seems that those idiots aren't even wrestling fans. Take Natty for example. Great wrestler and extremely good looking. Yet I have heard her fart more than I care for. Think about it. Her storyline at the time had her farting. FARTING! Idiocy and at its finest.

The guy in the avatar is not 185. I weigh roughly 150 and not even close to being in that size yet. I say about 220-225 is my guess. Anyways you have a good chance considering you have an average height for wrestling. I'm only 5'10 so you're not that far lol. Just come up with a good character and a good name. Try standing out from everyone else in the indies. Appreciate the advice pal as well as the doubt considering that's me and I actually am 185 lol Christian, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and a ton of other guys on the roster aren't as big as the guy in that pic and weigh between 220-240 pounds.. js

Also take into consideration that billed weight is also a factor.

Yes, I do. When I turn 18, I plan on working for LCW, an amateur wrestling promotion (Louisiana Championship Wrestling). Then I want to go to WWE after about 4-5 years. I'm 14 5'11 1/2 and 170 lbs. So, hopefully. It took Kevin Steen 14 years to get there, Prince Devitt 14 years to get there and KENTA 14 years to get there. You'd have to be an exceptional talent to get to WWE in 4-5 years time given how long it took those dudes to get signed. And it only took Kofi Kingston 6 months to get signed. You can't use other wrestlers as guide on how long it will take.

And as for people telling the one guy that he isnt 180 lbs are very delusional. He's cut, and looks like he has no body fat. That's called being lean, and I know a guy who is even bigger than him and is about 185, 190. If any of you have netflix watch a movie called "Pumping Iron". Its a movie based on Arnold, and they have a weight class of under 200 pounds. The guy who wins is BIGGER than the guy in the avatar, and is under 200 pounds. Also guys like punk, rhodes, and christian are all under 200 pounds. They say they weigh that much to be bigger than life stars. I'm billed at 200 pounds but I'm only 175/180. It's to make you seem bigger.

There really is no better "high" than when you have fans that appreciate you. So I thank you.

I did. I trained and wrestled for about a year, over a decade ago.
Sadly the company I was with was poorly managed and my wrestling "career" was short lived. But I absolutely had that dream. Now it's definitely too late. I bet I would be a hell of a member of "creative" though.

Still, here is me doing banter promos.

You know, it has always peaked my interest to become a Pro Wrestler. Always used to play wrestle with my friends when I was younger. But the realisation is that it's most likely never going to happen. Of course if the opportunity arose, I'd love to, it's just one of those things.

Honestly? No. I mean yes I would love to be able to wrestle those guys and be on that national stage, but I couldn't wrestle for WWE for a few reasons. First and foremost, I don't have the body for it. I'm 16 years old, 6'3, 270 pounds and I'll be lucky if my fat/muscle ratio is 30:70. Reason number 2, I'm not that style. When I wrestle my matches, I'm more of the 5 star level type guy, I strive for the best match. In WWE, it's all about how the story is, so eventually, I could get buried by an up and coming star, which I don't mind as long as it is on my terms. I will not get squashed in 5 minutes or less just to solidify someone. I'll put on the best match I can with the time allotted to me, even if it is 5 minutes it'll be a back and forth contest with some false finishes. Reason number 3, I wouldn't see eye to eye with creative. No matter what when you get to WWE nowadays your name is chosen for you. Hardly EVER will you see someone keep their name from the indy's, and to give up all I've worked for just to start over with "the big one" and learn a whole new style and person and style of promos isn't worth it to me. Unless WWE told me I keep my name, my finish, my promos, my style, my ring music, in exchange to get beaten every week on Raw for as little as 60k a year, I would accept, because no matter what I would have a fan base to fall back on that will but my merchandise. So no, I don't see it in my future. Would I want to? Oh hell yeah, if the cards fall the way I want them.
