I never get that question. It's usually more along the lines of "you know it's fake, right?" Same here. I have said that I want to be a wrestler, but some people tells me that its impossible and I can't be one.

People usually comment on the fact of how it's so "fake". Due to the fact that I'm so skinny, I've never really been asked that question before.

I had a GF who hated wrestling and i finally got her to agree to letting me be trained and she left me a week later. 3 years down the ing drain. That's because wrestling is anti-poon on the real choose wisely, kids!

Well they don't ask me to be a wrestler, but do something in relations to wrestling. I tell them that no company will hire you for just being a fan. Untrue i got booked on my first show ever because i was friends with the promoter and he knew how passionate i was about wrestling. Now i work for 2 promotions and actually get money from it.

Yeah, I get that a lot. There always like "You know wrestling is fake, why do you watch it so much!? You need a life".. And that is coming from people who watch gay shows like Zoey 101 and Disney channel and what not.

Why would you want to ge trained? unless your over 6'1 and 230 pounds of muscle you will never amount to anything in Wrestling. Hmmm Bryan Danielson? AJ Styles? Chris Hero? Matt Hardy? Rey Mysterio? Yeah those guys are 230 pounds of PURE muscle...

Do you ever get this question from family and friends? "You like wrestling so much, why don't you get a job in wrestling?" I get this all the time and all I say is, "you can't just be a fan and land a job in wrestling". Do any of you get this and if so what do you say? My ma keeps trying to drive me away, but I still wanna do it. I'm currently trying to go to a decent wrestling school in a nearby area.

I got that ALL the time from my folks. Sure, I lived 20 minutes from WWE HQ most of my life, and I edited for a mainstream wrestling magazine back in college. It seemed only natural I could get noticed for a writing job.
In fact, back when Russo & Ferrera left WWE for WCW, my grandfather sent me a newspaper clipping of the story, and wrote a note telling me I could do a better job at it (of course, most probably could).
But anyway, no I never did. As much as I used to dream about it.

I usually get a lot of confusion. Peoples' first reaction is that for some reason I'm into amateur wrestling. Then its, "like WWF?"

Unless your in WWE right now, your wasting your time in this business and i make more money right now than any Indy guys who still need to have a second job to live off using Wrestling as a job. Also: Mysterio is/has taken Steriods and Matt is about 230 so whats your point?
