Post Reply New Topic

I like professional wrestling I want to become a pro wrestler some day my favorite wrestler is Blackjack Mulligan and AJ Styles

I enjoy pro wrestling. I grew up watching it and I still get together fir every wwe ppv with some friends of mine. I can't say I follow it as much as I did as a kid but I do watch regularly and go to the shows when they come to town. I grew up a Bret Hart fan. Right now I enjoy CM Punk.

sorry

I started watching WCW in 1997 and also followed what was going on in WWF and ECW. I kind of fell out of it in 2010 after sitting ringside at Wrestlemania that year in my hometown. I just felt that from that point on, that was as good as it was going to get for me as a wrestling fan. I honestly felt that there was nothing left I could experience that could top it, but I still felt it was an incredible note to go out on.

You must have been at the same wrestlemania I was at. I agree that after you attend wrestlemania everything else pales in comparrison.

CM Punk is awesome he delivers a good promo has great wrestling skills and is a good heel of face.

I grew up watcing wcw I watch all types of wrestling I have so many dvds on pro wrestling from all around the world from lucha libre to old school pro wrestling.

Other then CM Punk I love Alberto Del Rio he is awesome.

Apologies for bring back such an old topic but it was the most recent one I could find on the subject.

I've been a Pro Wrestler in the UK for around 10 years, and currently run one of the most critically acclaimed 'Britwres' company.
It's ridiculously stressful work, which leads to constant meltdowns (luckily always in private), but at the same time I have a huge passion for it which helps drive me, and it's one of the only things I could ever imagine doing.

To the original poster I would say it's tough to have AS and work as a professional wrestler, but it is possible. While a lot of guys I've met only trained for 5-6 months before they had a match I had to train for 2 and a half years before I was anywhere near ready. I guess it's different for everyone, but I personally found since I'm naturally clumsy I had to practice moves over and over while others around me were getting them right first time. I've always had problems with my left & right which is a big problem for wrestling, so I found I had to do things multiple times till I could do them instinctively without thinking. I also find I have to plan a lot of stuff before the match as I'm not great at thinking on my feet under pressure, which can prove to be a problem if I have an opponent who prefers to do entirely improv.

And then there's problems I have with travel and new environments which REALLY makes it tough, but I personally dealt with this by finding a company that just ran around half a dozen venues on a regular circuit and mostly working for them.
Social interaction has always been a challenge for me, but I found with wrestling there's rules of etiquette which made it nice and clear how I was expected to act (go round and shake everyones hand as soon as you enter the building, show respect to veterans, always stay in character around fans, ect.) and it also really helped that everyone shared the same obsession as me, which meant I was surrounded by people who actually wanted to listen to me talk about my obscure narrow interest, and my encyclopaedic knowledge of everything wrestling was valued instead of ridiculed.

So, yes, it's perfectly possible to become a wrestler with Asperger's, but it will probably be a lot harder to achieve the required level of physicality and to grasp the complex crowd psychology needed to excel. That's not to say it's not worth it, and I'd say undoubtably give it a shot. There are wrestling schools all over the place nowadays, but always do your research to make sure they're reputable.

I did watch wrestling back when it aired on Norwegian television, but that was years ago. If I remember correctly, SmackDown was slighly more entertaining than Raw.

I have a question about wrestling - How can you stand it at all? I remember watching Bill Maher when he did a talk show and he had a show about wrestling with studio wrestlers. He said "Whenever they had wrestling in gym class I always tried to get a note to get out of it because I did not like to touch other men". Meanwhile, on the spectrum most people don't want to be touched. But in wrestling you are more than touching and grabbing other men the whole time. It seems it would be an aspies worst nightmare that is to do wrestling. I guess watching wrestling would not be so bad.

Once I was in a church choir and one of the members right behind me, "Larry" was not only a high school wrestler but a wrestling coach. Talk about a touchy-feely guy, he was always all over me I had to eventually quit.

I guess I've personally never had a huge problem with the touching and close contact. Maybe it was because I was always pushed by my parents into contact sports as a kid (which always ended disastrously, but maybe the early exposure got me over it?), or maybe it was what I mentioned earlier of just having too much to think about to dwell on any anxieties.

What can be an issue is the smell of body odour since I have a heightened sense of smell. It can occasionally get overpowering if a wrestler hasn't washed his costume, but even 40 minute matches fly by so quickly that it's never an issue for too long.

With the planned nature of professional wrestling you can always work around any problem through planning. If you have a problem with body contact maybe you could focus more on strikes and crowd work, or if you have a balance or agility problem maybe you can develop a more methodical pace. Pro wrestling is performance oriented so as long as you can put on an entertaining performance that people will pay to see then you can approach it in any way that works for you.

I love professional wrestling. Ever since 4th grade I have loved it. I don't have many action figures, but I have quite a few luchador masks and a Kane mask. The first time I went to a live wrestling event was on 12/30/09. I mostly go to Indy wrestling shows. I have seen WWE twice. I have always loved John Cena. I want to be a wrestler known as "The Crimson Crusader" And be a high-flyer and wear all red including a mask.

I really hate it when people say that pro wrestling is "fake"

It's entertainment. It's obvious that some of it isn't real. Even the wrestling organization doesn't deny that it is entertainment.

If Trump is elected, the pro wrestling mentality will become.a dominant motif.

I could see that happening after all they already have the Promo/debate thing down. Talking smack to their opponents at least from what I see on the republican side of things. I admit I don't pay attention to the democrats, and to complete it all they would need are a theme song, the ability to work in the ring. Donald Trump as a heel could enter with this

all the while fighting the champion/president Barack Obama who is a face. I can see it now two juggernauts of the political arena clashing in a all out slobber-knocker. Battling back and forth for the Title/position of presidency. With J.R. and Paul Heyman as commentators by George, I think I've gone mad by liking this idea more and more. BOOK IT VINCE!! !! !! !!
