The first thing you must do is go to a local wrestling school. A good phone book should supply you with information on at least one training facility. 99 percent of people never make it past the school. Imagine high school football, except twice as hard. The trainer doesn t care if you quit or not, he s just doing his job.
Most people walk away from the school after the first week with bruises galore.
If you re one of the lucky, and I use that word loosely, people to make it through, then it s time for the independent federations. This is to work on your ring skills and your personality. Some guys find themselves in these small leagues for years, others never make it past them. Now if you re lucky enough to get yourself booked in a show and a scouter happens to be there, you have a slight chance he might like you. If he does, then you ll be receiving a phone call or letter asking to wrestle a dark match.
