If you want to be a professional wrestler, then here's an article outlining exactly what you need to do.
Steps
-
1Improve your body. You need to watch what you eat and start an exercise program. Not only will it improve how you look, it will also ensure that you don't blow up (run out of breath and start wheezing in the middle of the ring), and that in itself will go far.
-
2Go to wrestling school. Going to wrestling school will help you learn everything that you possibly need to know to have the skills to get into the ring. Just remember that wrestling shape and weightlifting shape are two totally different things. Just lifting weights isn't going to make you a professional wrestler, so you'll need to go to wrestling school in addition to lifting weights. The greatest cardio you will get as a wrestler is being in the ring.Advertisement

3Read books on how to be a professional wrestler. The more books you read, the more you'll succeed in the ring. Don't just read it, apply it.
-
4Eat a healthful diet. Eat a diet rich in protein, fruits, and vegetables so you'll look good in your wrestling gear and you'll be a better wrestler too. Avoid foods high in sugar and fat.
-
5Start out by wrestling in a local league. You're not going to get paid much at first but once your skills start improving, you'll start making more money and bringing in the big bucks. The key is to never stop trying to improve.

QuestionWhat type of education do I need in order to be a WWE wrestler?
Community AnswerEducation won't matter. WWE Doesn't just pick you for smarts; they pick you for the skills and talent they see in you. You have to have years of experience and amazing talent. They won't pick you unless you're a professional wrestler in the area and the WWE calls for a local competitor.
