Training

Serious prospects only.  If you saw an event while drunk with your buddies and think you can go toe-to-toe with those “rasslers,” you may need to reconsider.

All facilities require trainees to be at least 18 years old.  Dynamo Pro allows starting at 16 with a legal guardian’s approval.

I will be the next big thing…. and i know how to spell haha. It’s not a spelling bee though, im in it to be the best of the best, to win gold and make it to the top. Espinosa, im gunning for ya buddy.

Wrestling is a Physical and Mental sport. If you don’t have the mental capacity to at least spell correctly or use correct grammar, then you will not learn how to ‘rassle’ correctly. Read the last 2 lines of this post by the site’s coordinator. I am pretty sure you 2 fit into the people who ‘think [they] can go toe-to-toe with [us] “rasslers.”‘ As noted before, ‘you may need to reconsider.’

Reading the responses just wow. It takes great dedication and admires those who can tough it out. I wouldn’t mind to learn just to tough up a bit in life. But, who knws.

I definitely want to learn and eventually become a Pro Wrestler. It has been my dream since I was a little boy watching The Rock and Stone Cold go toe to toe on TV. I am willing to work harder than ever before to exceed the standards on what a Pro Wrestler should be.

How does this work? Do I have to get a membership at this gym in order to train? Does it make any difference if I have a gym already? I just want to train and compete.

Only trained professional wrestlers may step into the ring at live events. If you are trained, it is recommended you still go through these proper channels to get booked on the local cards.

It has always been my dream to become a pro wrestler, I’d always wrestle with my cousins on my bed, I pretended to be Matt and Jeff Hardy, Lita, Triple H, Rob Van Dam, Trish Stratus and my most favorite, the late Ashley Massaro, but growing up in New Jersey, I’d always been the small town kid with big city dreams. I made my own titles out of unused pizza boxes from Domino’s, colored pencils, scissors and a wild imagination
