How to Enter the WWE as a Wrestler

The World Wrestling Entertainment company features two weekly shows and at least one pay-per-view event per month, showcasing an array of professional wrestlers. Some fans who enjoy watching the events may dream of someday becoming one of those WWE wrestlers. While it may seem logical to have been a wrestler through your school years to become a WWE wrestler, it is not necessary. You will however, need some training and experience, before you even have a shot at breaking into the business.

Instructions

    • 1

      Attend a wrestling training school. This school will teach you how to perform the moves you see during WWE matches, and this training will help you prevent serious injuries -- though injury is always a risk. You will also learn the acting techniques used in professional wrestling. While you are in training, you will also work on building-up your muscle mass and strength. Some school options include the American Wrestling Federation (americanwrestlingfederation.com), World Pro Wrestling (worldprowrestling.com) and Killer Kowalski's Pro Wrestling School (killerkowalskis.com).

      Audition for an independent wrestling organization to gain experience in the field. Combat Zone Wrestling, Tennessee Independent Wrestling Federation and Florida Championship Wrestling are good places to start. The Florida Championship Wrestling circuit is one of the major feeders for the WWE and may require experience in another circuit first.

      Create a resume that highlights your training and the experience you have in independent circuits.

      Videotape yourself performing, to exhibit your skills. Put together a montage of events you participated in that showcase your talent the best.

    • 5

      Take pictures of yourself, similar to those a model would use. Include head shots, full body shots and action shots.
