How to Be a Professional Wrestler

Professional wrestling is an entertainment medium enjoyed by both children, and grown men who live vicariously though the people who work i the business. Some people consider it to be one of the greatest sports in the world. Those people have a somewhat loose definition of the word "sport".

If you love it or hate it, there is one thing you can respect about professional wrestlers: they are smart enough to find an interesting yet very questionable line of work. You can actually get paid for bad acting and play fighting, and get cheers from people from all around the world. Seems too good to be true, right?

It is possible for your average Joe to get in on the action. Rule number 1: Be as huge as the day is long. You can do this by either having people pull on your arms and legs(height), or by adopting a southern diet(weight). Remember, if you can't eat it with gravy, it ain't real food!

As far as training goes, being a fairly large individual should take you far. Think about it. Hulk Hogan is one of the most popular wrestlers of all time. His move set consists of Body slams, big boot, leg drop, punching and flexing to the delight the crowd. there's really no need to exert a lot of energy as long as you are a good showman.

Speaking of which, stock up on brightly colored speedos.Why brightly colored as opposed to black like everybody else is wearing now? It'll help you stand out from everyone else, while at the same time giving your character that old school flavor.

If your freakishly tall, you will be booked as the cliche 'giant/monster. There is no way around this. The good thing is less will be expected of you in terms of movement. You have some some 5'3" luchador run around and do all sorts of fancy-smhancy maneuvers for ten minutes straight, while all you have to do is lumber around, and act like his efforts are slowly waring you down.

The bad thing? Typecasting. You shouldn't typecast because typecasting is bad, mmmkay?

If you're husky, you'll marketed as a classic strongmen from the 1840s or something. If you are obese, you'll have to deal with the "big man" moniker. Your finisher will most likely involve sitting on your opponents. Make sure to practice good hygiene!

of course, none of these tips will guarantee you a spot on a WWE roster.There are a ton of wrestling promotions world wide. If you stick to it and believe that you deserve an opportunity, you should be able to find work somewhere. If not, you could always hit people with florescent lights on the backyard wrestling circuit.
