What would be a better way for me to get into wwf

[Guest victorjenny]

Ok, First Off, I want to get into wrestling, It's one of my life goals, that's the job I want, and I'm willing to do the living in a van down by the river part.

Now Here comes how I do it.

Ok, I'm a sophmore in high school, and weigh about 170 pounds, and am six feet tall, but will probably grow another 2-3 inches, and can easily put on about 80-100 pounds of muscle, (looking at my grandparents)

 

The Problem with bulking up is at the weight I'm at, I am a probable state champion next year in collegiate wrestling (all ready have one in freestyle), and may be able to have a chance at nationals in collegiate, and with Kurt Angle, and Brock Lesnar, I'm wondering if that would impress them, while I doubt I could do as good if I'm bigger.

 

So what should I do, should I start trying to bulk up now, or should I wait until after my collegiate wrestling career is over??

Go to college kid... try to do well in wrestling there. There is absolutely no logic in not going to college and getting a degree before setting out on your dream. The best advice you will get is probably from Mick Foley himself in his book Foley Is Good... I'll copy some of it to show you

 

"here are a few helpful hints in your quest.

 

1. Participate in amateur wrestling. A higher and higher percentage of wrestlers being groomed by the World Wrestling Federation, WCW, and ECW have extensive amateur backgrounds. You might not become an Olympic champion like Kurt Angle, but you learn discipline, get in shape, and find out a hell of a lot about being a man.

 

2. Stay out of trouble. There are enough boneheads in the world without you adding to the list. Wrestling has enough problems with "holier than thou, I know what's best for everyone else" groups, without giving them something or somebody to pinpoint.

 

3. Go to college. Don't just go there-- stay there. Graduate from there. Get an education. The odds of making it in wrestling are low and the odds of getting hurt along the way are high. I don't feel bad for broken-down wrestlers. I do feel bad for broken-down uneducated ones. I started going to DeNucci's school while a junior in college, but did so after Dominic laid down his one law: "Stay in school, or I won't train you.:

 

4. Be realistic. There are thousands of wrestlers out there and about a hundred who make a good living doing it. The odds don't favor you, especially with Olympic champions, ultimate fighters, and professional football players as your competition. I'm not saying that wrestling hin a high school gym or an armory can't be fun or rewarding. It is. It's just no profitable. Search the wrestling magazines for stories on reputale wrestling schools. Anybody can take three grand from you to teach you a couple of moves. Stay away from them. Look for schools with a proven track record for turning out quality guys. Study tapes of wrestlers who are good. Have fun, but be safe.

Can you get a wrestling scholarship to a major university?  Go to college so you can learn how to manage your money before you get cheated out of it, take some drama, journalism, psycology classes so can become a complete person other than just another Hoss in the business.

holeheartedly agree in doing the college thing.

then move to Ohio and got to the oVW/Hwa schools.

I want to be a WWF color-commentator...it's a HUGE dream of mine and I'm going to work my ass off. I'm going to be a junior next year and my plan is to finish high school, take a broadcasting and a journalism course in college and apply to radio stations, television stations and Stampede Wrestling. Luckily I live in Calgary so I know where to go. Another thing I think could help me in getting into the WWF school even just for a broadcasting job would be go to wrestling school...so I'm planning that too.

   Good old WWF.
