Be prepared. Stop wasting money on learning experiences you aren’t taking seriously!

Cashiers know how to make change. Lifeguards know how to do CPR. A Pro Wrestler is in shape. It’s part of your job description. Being in shape is how you make an impression the moment fans put their eyes on you. Being in shape is how you stay safe inside the ring. A wrestler that goes show to show without ever seeing the inside of a gym is not a professional.

In pro wrestling your body is your craft. Strip away the merch and the gear and the promos and the character and all you have left is your body. That is your first and primary tool for making a career out of pro wrestling. We believe a pro wrestler has to train specifically with his craft in mind. The split squat is simply put a superior way for a pro wrestlers to train due to its unique ability to build muscle and athleticism that translates beautifully to the ring.

Get your mind in the right pace! Take responsibility for your own destiny and WIN!

In this episode we are revisiting a controversial topic in pro wrestling…why you are the reason you aren’t earning more money. Not the booker, the promoter, or the fans. You.

I’ve seen the most talented performers fail to achieve their full potential because their minds were not in the right place. It takes a special individual with a unique mindset to make a living out of pro wrestling. Not a part time, not a pass time, not a paycheck, but a living out of this dream job. We are going to dissect the winning pro wrestler mindset by discussing 5 traits you need to succeed inside the business.

It happens to the very best of us: Trainees, wrestlers, promoters, and everything in between. At some point or another you will feel like you are spinning your wheels, unable to move forward and towards your bigger goal. The growth you experience in life and pro wrestling will not always be linear and easy to track. Sometimes you’ve got to learn to pivot and focus on different aspects of your journey! If you feel stale in one instance, focus on improving another to better your chances of progressing!

It’s no secret that speaking is just as important as performing inside the ring. Promos are a vital part of becoming a professional wrestler, but there are more ways than one to improve your speaking skills. Even the greatest speakers are always learning. Even when you achieve a high level of speaking ability there are ways to improve to set you apart from the best of the best!
