How Many People Here Actually Have Dreams..

The chances of me wrestling in the WWE are slightly better than the chances of me becoming black............of which there is no chance in hell.

If you dream of getting into the WWE then I'd suggest going to OVW's wrestling school. WWE keeps an eye on that. OVW alumni include:

 

1. Mark Magnus (Muhammad Hassan)

2. Danny Basham

3. Shelton Benjamin

4. Brock Lesnar

5. Rico

 

There's more that trained there. Guys like Dinsmore and Doug Basham are excluded because I think that they (at least Dinsmore as he wrestled on WCW Saturday Night before) had some indy experience. So, OVW is definately a place to go if you want to get into WWE. Personally, I'd like to be a wrestler one day. I'd train in OVW and since I'm the right size for a WWE Superstar, I think that I'd have a good chance of getting a WWE Developmental deal at least. No idea on what character I'd play, I'd just play whatever Cornette gave me.

OVW's not the same beast as most schools. Alot of the guys mentioned were brought in under developmental contracts already, as OVW is the minor league. You can try out, essentially, for a spot. You fork up five-hundred for 26 lessons over 13 weeks, and at the end, they can keep you if they want to. Other schools will train you no matter what.

I was aware of the $600 tryout period. I actually find that to be the best method for training a worker. Make them fork over $600 to see if they have the desire. Impress the higher ups and get to train. You can also learn in that 3 month span as to whether you do have what it takes to be a wrestler as opposed to handing over 2 or 3 grand and find out that you don't have what it takes.

 

I believe that Mark Magnus came in off of the street and trained in OVW's wrestling school. I was in Louisville for a few weeks over the summer and they'd feature OVW trainees on the card. OVW alumni Standing Thunder has been successful and he trained in OVW School. Magnus worked in OVW before McMahon and company gave him a contract. It is possible to make it in OVW. The $600 tryout period should be looked at as a way to see if you can handle the business. If you make it, good. If you don't, go somewhere else. If you make it, you get to work with Jim Cornette on promo skills and learn from the best. The only negative that I can see in OVW is that you basically learn WWE style and you never really get to learn much else. You'd have to work a lot more in the indies to establish yourself on the level as to where you can make a good living. Luckily for me, I happen to be a big guy so someone my size would probably be booked strongly no matter where I decided to go.

 

Here's a question: Is chasing your dream really worth it? If you have other options that can guarantee your cash. Is it worth giving up a money making career over?

[Guest uyaljg]

Yes.

Yeah, I'm definately saying chase your dreams. Anyone who has a dream, can make it a reality as long as they keep to it. The cash may not be the best, but who cares? You live for your dreams, not just to be rich.

 

To not chase my dreams of becoming a wrestler, would be cheating myself.

Some of you guys have put a lot of work and thought into this, do you use these characters in e feds?

I dont know how to use them.

 

Id love to be involved in creative and book matches and storylines.

Being in an e-fed means I hav a few dreams about it. But they're never seriously, but it gave me an outlet for all those younger dreams about actually being a wrestlers.

 

I could write the way I'd want to wrestle, without having to give up my life or my body...or ever bother getting into shape.

 

I'd pimp the SWF zyn081...but that'd take effort.

I dont understand, are you implying that it would go over my head.

[Dace59 0]

No, of course not man.

 

Just I'm lazy. And I dont want to throw loads of promotional, "the fed is great, join us!" crap at you if you're not actually interested.

 

If you want to hear the pimping stuff about the SWF and the match writing goodness, I'd pm it to you.

Im interested, but does it take up much time?

Considering how they book some of the guys out of, the Bashams in particular and how fast they called some guys up (ala Matt Morgan and Big Bad John Heidenreich), I'd question just how much they really watch OVW.

That's not the point. The fact remains that if you're from OVW, you're more likely to end up in the WWE than if you're in any other organisation perhaps other than UPW. As far as I know, these two feds/schools have the highest feed rate for WWE.

When I was about 6 was when I wanted to be a wrestler. I use to wonder what it would have been like to be involved in something that has made people happy. I've watched it for so long that I can understand why these guys do it. But I don't condone it's office atmosphere. They're still stuck in some of the outdated carny ways.
