Today I wen't and paid a visit to Pro Wrestling Academy and sat in on a class. On Thursday I am going to be taking my first Pro Wrestling class. It's going to be $30 a class and I am going to start at once a week. It did kind of scare me watching them bump. The ring they were using sounded loud when they hit it and one guy hit one of the steel beams under the ring and hurt his back. I'm just hoping I don't break in half when I do it. As to the why I am doing this. I just turned 27 this past Sunday and I figured now is a better time than any to do it. I always wanted to try it but always felt that I had more important things to do between class and work. Now that I am no longer in college and am under employed I figured why the gently caress not. Edit: Fixed some grammar. I know, I suck at words. HulkaMatt, can you change the title to "I'm going to be a Pro Wrestler!"? I thought I would just be clever with the title .

I mean it's probably not necessary to become a wrestler but it couldn't hurt.

Awesome news. You've got at least one goon rooting for you  What were your initial impressions? Big class, small class? Only one trainer?

I actually legitimately looked into this as I'm a tall, reasonably athetic guy and have a decent frame and I figure that I'm 30 now so while there's no way WWE would touch me, I may have 5-10 decent years in the indies. Sadly I live in Seattle which apparently has no indie wrestling, schools or whatever, so I'll just live vicariously through you. Good luck!

y'all don't know squat about majestic plurals and it pisses me off is the head trainer Josef Von Schmidt the guy on the indies with the very dedicated nazi gimmick? Like he used to defend himself in youtube comments section totally in kayfabe with everything that entails -edit- yeah the website says his finisher is the Concentration Clamp so it's probably the same guy oatgan fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Apr 30, 2014 |

Work on your character first. I don't care if you are Daniel Bryan in the ring if you can't cut a promo I simply won't support you or your dream.

When you go to the first class, act like you're hot poo poo and refuse to take any bumps because you know Nick Lovin' and he has the connections to get you on nationally televised wrestling.

The spot where he makes his opponent do the salute is dedication to craft. I mean if you're going to be a Nazi, own it.

Don't say anything. Follow directions and volunteer for everything. Learn your basics and do them well. Also give stiff chops, every time. edit: watch Ricky Steamboat do an armdrag and perfect it. Everything else is easy.

Yeah the main cities do. If he's a bumpkin though he's poo poo out of luck and there's great distance between our capitals. 1000 kms in most cases.

I was curious enough to check out the local wrestling school's website... Sadly it's on the Gold Coast, about an hour away  not having a car would make that difficult, too. Also I'm a tall skinny dude with lovely muscles and probably bad cardio, so there's that too. Rooting for you dude, keep us updated on how it goes! Wrestling sounds like it'd be a lot of fun if I had the time and money to get into it. Maybe over the uni holidays...

OP, I'll be living vicariously through you because I'm short and out of shape and also not super interested in picking tacks and barbed wire and broken glass out of my skin. Become the best pro wrestler you can. Also start doing DDP Yoga so you can be as good as Goldust.

As an inner-city uni student, I just can't take some of these people and their terrible accents. Basically I want something that's as inner city trendy as my circus class, except when you piledrive someone it's on purpose and you don't need to apologise.

Hey Beasley, I know I could tell you on FB, but it's better here: Get a "Silicon Valley douschebag" gimmick and hit people with tablets. Have it not do anything and then, when you lose, cut a promo on the Lenovo A1000 being a piece of poo poo.

I knew you were being silly, but if I got as good as Goldust, I'd be pretty pleased. He may not have surpassed or equaled his dad as a draw but he sure as poo poo became better as a worker.

Bogans are scum, and your American perspective on this is insane. Circus people are fine. More specifically, the last wrestling show I attended was full of drunk yobos hurling homophobic abuse, that's the kind of people I want to avoid.
