How to become a WWE superstar

How to become a WWE

Part 1: getting in shape

Professional wrestlers come from all kinds of backgrounds, but WWE talent scouts recruit new wrestlers
from three specific places more than any other. These are independent wrestling promotions, college
football programs, and college wrestling teams.

Start strength-training: WWE wrestlers need to be strong enough to pick up a 200+ pound brawler and
slam him to the mat safely. Even if you want to be a high-flyer or a mat-wrestler, you need to be strong.

Focus on high intensity cardio: Running around the ring between the ropes, landing flat on your back, and
doing hip-tosses That's hard. Wrestling will have you gasping for breath pretty quick if you're not in shape.
Pro wrestlers need to be in excellent cardio condition, ready to go 10-20 minutes per match at a fast clip.

Take dance classes or try gymnastics

Pro wrestling is about learning to move with other people, to make the contest look realistic. Moonsaults,
bodyslams, and hurricanes are a lot more like dancing than they are like actual wrestling. You won't see
anyone come off the top rope in an amateur contest or do an RKO, so gymnastics and dance are good
ways to get coordinated.

Eat clean diet

A common joke among pro wrestlers is that they eat nothing but grilled chicken breasts, steamed broccoli,
and brown rice. Even though you might be on the road 300 days a year, it's not going to be all
hamburgers and french fries. You've got to commit to eating a diet rich in lean proteins, vitamin-rich
vegetables, and slow-digesting carbohydrates, to keep your body working for you.

Part 2: Learning the Art of Wrestling

Join a private wrestling school

Learning to do pro wrestling moves needs to happen in person, taught by a wrestling instructor in a
proper wrestling ring. Wrestling schools and academies are available in most regions, offering 6-week
courses and other packages for interested wrestlers. The best of these will sometimes be offered spots in
local promotions.

Learn to take bump

The big secret to those devastating moves that look like they really hurt? They actually really hurt. Pro
wrestlers learn to fall properly, however, to control those falls and protect their heads and necks from
more serious injury. While landing flat on your back will never feel great, in training you'll learn to do it
safely. Other skills you'll learn in wrestling school involve:

● Locking up
● Striking
● Running the ropes
● Chain wrestling
● Taking specific moves
● Communicating in the ring
● Selling other wrestlers' moves

Build a unique character

Pro wrestling characters are usually flamboyant, over-the-top, larger-than-life
personas. Regular guys named Terry and James became Hulk Hogan and the
Ultimate Warrior when they set foot in the ring. Connect with a crowd by
developing a kind of character they'll be able to relate to if you're a babyface, or
despise if you're a heel.

Learn to do the job

Being a good pro wrestler isn't about winning the most matches, or being the
strongest person in the world. It's about getting the crowd interested in your
matches enough to want to see you win, or lose. It's a performance, and
sometimes the performance won't involve you getting the win.

Part:3 Joining WWE

Wrestle for an independent promotion for a while: Wrestlers who try out for WWE need at least 3-5
years of pro wrestling experience The only wrestlers who go immediately into the WWE are recruited from
amateur college wrestling programs or other athletics. Most other wrestlers get started wrestling for some
kind of promotion other than the WWE and climb their way through the ranks.

Hit the road: Smaller promotions will hire wrestlers who have received training. Many wrestlers start making a living by

traveling between promotions in the region, doing a few shows at a time and gradually making connections in the business.
Start getting yourself booked in as many territories as possible and working your way between them.

●In the United States, the northeast is especially friendly to pro wrestling shows and indie wrestlers. Start working the circuit
in your area.

Go to a WWE tryout

On the WWE website is a career page, which regularly posts job openings in a
variety of different departments. Jobs include production, writing, and talent.
Regional tryouts are held occasionally, where wrestlers may show off in an
attempt to get the recruiter's' attention. These tryouts will be posted on the WWE
site and held at the NXT facility in Orlando, FL
