wwe diva ages

Question
QUESTION: ok i'm only 13 i have been watching the WWE like for atleast a good 2 years and i know thats not long but it has been a dream of mine to be a WWE diva but im just confused on how old i have to be, and if any previous training is needed, and most importantly how i mean does every diva need to go threw the diva search or is there something else i could do to get into it like i seriously want this soo bad.

ANSWER: Hi Haidyn, there is a few different paths that women take than men. Women stay in the WWE's developmental program for a short time, while men stay in there for 2 years or so. Basically you have to be at least 18 before you can get into the WWE, they accept no younger, even for developmental. Kelly Kelly joined the OVW developmental program under the WWE when she was that age, then at 19, she made her way to the main roster when ECW first became a brand in the WWE. So that shows she didn't stay in developmental long.

The thing was that she wasn't even a wrestler before, she was a model. Not tough to see that, right? In any case, the WWE saw her, liked her, and signed her to a developmental contract. But that still happens, they love bringing in model like women. So if you love to model, keep pursuing it. If you don't, then do not worry about it.

However, if you want to really catch attention, you need to go to a wrestling school, possibly one where you're at, and also be a beautiful woman. Now I don't know how you look, and at 13, you are still in your process of growing, so please do not worry about how you look right now. Have some pride in yourself and do what girls do, but don't worry about certain things. Don't compare yourself to older women that you may see in the WWE, as you will be there one day.

What I recommend for now is to go to the gym and work out a few days a week. Make sure to eat right, then at 14 you'll be able to join a wrestling school if they have a juniors program, which allows 14 to 17 year olds to come into a school and learn how to wrestle. Most big, popular schools have a program like that. But some do not and only allow you to join at 18.

I do recommend you go to a school first, then once you have training, call for a try out with the WWE's developmental program, FCW(Florida Championship Wrestling), which is located in Tampa, FL.

Kelly Kelly goes there a lot still. And Alicia Fox and Tiffany were both taught how to wrestle there. Not to mention, all of the new stars you see in the WWE come through that program. Any new name you've seen in the past 3 to 4 years came from that program.

I hope this helped, but keep in mind at 13 you're not able to join a school just yet. However, modeling is something you can do obviously and working out, aswell at eating right would be another thing you could do right now.

Have a good day!

Answer
Sorry, I had computer trouble the last few days. Ughh..so annoying. But in any case, there are schools in the area. However, the best training isn't in your state sadly. I can't find any that I'd want to send you to knowing you'd receive great training. I could easily give you some in bordering states, but IDK if that would work for you.

Either way, I don't recommend starting to train until 16 for a few reasons. Number one, girls stop growing around that time mostly, besides the normal female areas, I mean height and what not. At that point, you can figure out what type of wrestler you want to be.

Also, you need a car to get back and forth to training. Most states make the legal age 16 to have a license.

At FCW they do a lot of stuff. There is the obvious kind of things, they watch you wrestle with either a trainer or another talent. They make sure you look like a star. They test your talking skills, do endurance tests, etc. It's different with girls and guys, but everything I mentioned is something they do with all usually.
