As far as the wrestling for money issue goes your not going to be a 'professional' full time wrestler unless your on the road 7 days a week for Brian Dixon, Scott Conway or both.

The word professional is misleading as being a Professional Wrestler is totally different from being an Amatuer Wrestler.

If your at Uni Rob, which I believe you are, then you should be able to geta pretty good job when you jump into the real world. If I was you I'd be using my money to travel around jumping in as many battle royals and getting on shows to meet people, make connections and improve your game and forget about making any money.

Its got nothing to do with making money its about doing backyard wrestling if I wanted to wrestle for free. You don't make money its the principle.

4WIW, in times gone past (i.e. before the first world war), a "Professional Wrestler" was a wrestler whose skill level at (Lancashire/Catch/Shoot/Submission) wrestling was of Shooter rank or indeed higher - Hooker, Ripper ...

"Professional Wrestling" was the submissions game. Amateur Wrestling was what we now know as Olympic Free_style_, but it was often called "scholastic" and was (and still is) inferior to shoot/Professional.

Personnally i think a professional wrestler is an all round package. If they look good (Eg. Good Build instead of Scrawn, Good Outfit instead if a Tshirt and shorts or something) They can WRESTLE (Eg. Not just doing their favourite workers moves one after another) And they carry themselves in a professional manner (Eg. Dont show up playacting and marking out to the other workers) There are many more things that add to the complete package, Charisma, Business Sense etc. But i think mastering the first 3 would set anyone on the right track

Good Build instead of Scrawn

WHY?

Smaller guys can do very well in the lighter weight brackets. How else will we find the next Johnny Saint? Leave all this "only heavyweights are any cop" bullshit to the Yanks, I say!

Yeah, but there's a difference between being small and athletic and small and scrawny. Lightweight division or none, a skinny kid who can't be eight stone sopping wet and who looks like he's not had a vitamin since he left the maternity ward is going to struggle to look credible as a larger-than-life professional grappler. Even if you introduce a featherweight division, you still need to look the part.

Muscles Mansfield must have the most imitated gimmick in British wrestling today, except that none of the wrestlers who resemble him seem to have realised it yet.
