Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Now...I noticed by the Curt Hennig thread that a lot of you are at least casual wrestling fans(a lot more than would probably admit in public, anyway) but what I am wondering is, are any of you guys in here pro wrestlers? I mean are you independent guys, where are you from, who do you work for, blah blah.....just curious.

What's up dude... You know my story, I'm sure... but I haven't seen any guys who have done indy work on this board, and if they have, they've kept it to themselves... 
I know you have been IN the business for what? 3 years now? or more? We missing something?

I did a try out for the WCW in 1996, went down to "The Power Plant" in Atlanta, I made the try out and was invited to train for a fee. Two other guys made it with me that tryout, one went on to be Evan Karagias. I never went back, I regret my decision for not following through with it. Not that Evan Karagias is big now, it's that he did make it for awhile, could have been me.
Big Brother Val is.
Freak Daddy wanted to be a luchadore, but was told he was too ugly and had too many tattoos.
I auditioned once. Called myself the Chocolate Road Warrior. Came out with football pads on. Instead of spikes, I had them lined with dildos. My finishing move was the Orifice Invader. Even had ideas for a valet named Syphilis too.

You could use other submission holds such as the :
Grim Rimmer , or the Turn and Cough
Yeah, I know NAWFKappy is awesome, I've seen some of his indy work... pretty damn good.

For truly * ahem * hardcore matches.. I replaced the dildos with vibrators. Click them babies on all at once, the mass vibrations would buzz me around the ring like a spinning pinata possessed by Satan himself.
Carried a string of anal beads in my knee pad to knock cold my opponents when the referee had his back turned. Climb the turnbuckles and after much giggling and posing - launch my version of the flying bodypress that I remodeled and renamed the Flying STD. Then I would pin them in the 69 position.

Ahhh... the memories. I remember this is how you pulled out the win for us in one of our Steel Burrito matches with Freak Daddy and the Nature Boy.
No joking... I am only 28... I think I have the perfect look for the WWE. I am big, ripped and vascular as hell. But I think the drawback is that they don't want anyone who is still an unknown to come in make their current stars look bad.
I would have to start out in some role like Virgil did as a bodyguard.
In the wrestling business, it has truly come down to who you know.

This is as true as it gets.
I've seen guys that shit better than they wrestle not only get TV time, but contracts overseas as well.
I've wrestled with guys who couldn't carry a match if it had a handle, that criticize me for a poor performance, when these fuckers can't even take a back bump, and instead land on their hip and elbow.
You're either the lucky one who's in the right place at the right time, or you "know somebody".
This business is VERY HARD to break into. I bust my ass, and get the hell beat out of me constantly. Sometimes for 1,000 fans... sometimes for 30.
I'm 26 years old, but feel like I'm 52.

I was, for a short time. Then hurt my neck and gave it up. My buddy is training for it though. He wants to go over to Japan and shit.
Used to be you could get in with the smaller feds like ECW and World Class, simply because they needed bodies.
Now you look at the WWE and the days of superstars coming out and whipping jobbers to boost their image is long gone.
Face it... you think Jericho is immediately going to do a match with me right off the bat or even a few years from now? Hell no. Why? Because he looks like shit and I would dwarf his silly ass.

UPW has some great guys out there. I really like to work with them. Some of them even got to appear on Raw, when there was the posedown with Triple H and Steiner.

UPW kicks ass. I know those guys that was on raw. My buddy trains with Navtive Blood/Hollywood Yates at their Gym in Phoenix. Pretty cool dudes. Rick Bassman seems cool too, though he DID bring Jim "Justice" Helwig into Wrestling, and we DID have to suffer through the ULLLLLLLLLLLTIMATE D-U-M-B-A-S-S!!!!! era. But everyone has a blemish on their record sometime.
I don't know why I couldn't. I am big enough.. I have the above mere mortal look, I am agile enough, there is not one move out there from the brainbuster suplex to the frog splash that I can't execute with maximum safety for my co-worker.
I think the most taunting thing is that the pay is low for beginning, and I make really good now.

yeah and the pay may never get where you want it to be... it takes a lot of factors to get over... and a lot more to stay over... for one thing... you bust your ass in the indies doing all kinds of crazy shit and then when you make it to the WWE you work 3 minutes matches and honestly they don't so anything anymore in terms of actual wrestling unless you are benoit or angle or rey mysterio

And you kill spiders with your peepee.
I would LOVE to pursue a wrestling carreer, my only drawback is being 5'7". Only decent short person i ever saw was Taz... and he was what, 5'9" ?
I am only 17 though so i have plenty of time for training and what not. I will wrestle in college for sure, unless i take up boxing.

you can always be a luchadore.
Ah, height aint all its cracked up to be.....yes, a lot of the bigger names are legitamately big guys....but some of them arent very tall at all. I was just at Raw when they came through Chicago (no go, only guys that really got anything were 2 kids from Green Bay, and that was a squash to 3 min warning) but Michaels was 5'9-5"10 TOPS, Jericho 5'9 at best......Jeff Hardy might have hit 6 ft but hes a buck seventy with all that paint applied....I dont think John Cena is super tall...6 ft, 6'1? more worried about what the body looks like then the height...
All you guys that replied..where you from? Who do you work for? Ive been trying to get over to Japan for about 5 months now....mainly working in the midwest, mid south, and east coast. Was one of the first group of guys to get a tryout for TNA, back in april before they had started PPV....unfortunately nothing came about. Wondering if any of you guys have contacts for promotions out on the west coast..since it seems like a few of you are from that area, or contacts to some in Japan....email me and ill see if i can get you some contacts out here in the midwest...
