Right now I'm undergoing my Year 12 exams, hence the delay.

Remember that details can and do change over time, so you will have to check details and do searches as you get closer to an age where you can enter a pro wrestling school. You may wish to look at schools now to get an idea as to what you might be interested in.

To get to the WWE, you have to stand out and come to their attention, after going through pro wrestling school and getting experience on the independent circuit- the small promotions. WWE do look for talent in England, where they tend to focus more on the British wrestlers who have made a name for themselves already, rather than looking at the British pro wrestling schools. Moving to the US can help, since there are much more WWE Talent Scouts in the US and if you can resolve any visa issues prior to attracting the attention of the WWE, that does make things easier.

The WWE look for wrestlers who can entertain the crowd, have a reasonable amount of acting ability (at least) and can wrestle well. Attitude is important- being positive, punctual, good at teamwork, always willing to improve yourself, yet not pushing yourself beyond your limits, passionate about pro wrestling, determined and able to get along with people, etc.

You can prepare yourself in the meantime by finding out more about pro wrestling, including watching wrestling videos from times and promotions other than what you are used to (you never know what might influence you and what you don抰 use, someone you are working with might). Getting involved in front of an audience is helpful. You say you have the fitness side covered, so focus more on learning other skills that can help you and experience entertaining. If you have time and money to spare, amateur wrestling, boxing or martial arts experience can be of use, but is by no mean needed. Do well at school- you need a strong work ethic to succeed in pro wrestling and the earlier you develop it, the easier it is to stick with.

Go to the pro wrestling school that is best for you, in line with your priorities. Where you go has no impact on whether the WWE will notice you- the results of your training do. It has to be a school you are comfortable going to, because you need to get the most out of your training and means being in a school where you are fully focus on the task at hand and are able to ask questions as needed. Where to train is a question only you can answer, but you don抰 need to yet. Its a few more years before that is a concern. Consider the experience of the trainers, the facilities, the cost, the length of the course and if there are any notable graduates from the school.

You will likely need to take a part-time work while on the independent circuit to get enough money to pay all the bills. Wrestling in the small promotions doesn抰 earn you much. You need to develop strong communication skills. You need to make friends and contacts to help you be aware of opportunities and maybe put in a good word for you. There exist websites that also help with this. Friends can also help add to a support base for any times you need it. If you haven抰 already, involvement in social networking sites can also help you to promote yourself and make promoters aware of your existence. Usually, the promotion that runs the pro wrestling school (or another promotion with links to the school) gives graduates their initial experience.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Good luck in your future endeavours.
