Answer
How are you doing Ash?
Currently, Matt and Jeff Hardy do not provide training. However, you can google search your area and find training schools in your area. Keep in mind that wrestling training can be expensive (some charge up to $3000), can be physically taxing on your body, and is a very cut-throat business. I don't want to dash your dreams but give you a good tool of motivation. For every 10,000 people that start professional wrestling training, 1 will make it to WWE or TNA. Those aren't good odds, but a good tool to motivate you to get all you can out of training.
Once you have completed your training, get booked as much as you possibly can at wrestling leagues. This will give you valuable experience. When you go to these leagues, shake hands with everybody in the back. Nobody in the back is a bigger star than anybody else. If Ric Flair came to your league to wrestle, he would shake hands and introduce himself to everybody. It's a respect thing. Second, listen and watch. Don't brag on yourself. Until you actually have in your hand a WWE contract, you haven't accomplished anything in most people's minds. Don't make enemies by saying that you will be WWE Champ. The boys in the back will grow to despise you and make you look bad by not working well with you.
Get a copy of all your matches on tape or DVD. Once you get between 3-5 years of experience under your belt, then you can put together a tape or DVD to send to WWE. Include a bio of your wrestling career, several 8X10 pics in gimmick (get these professionally done), a resume with names and addresses of promoters you have worked for, and a personal bio of yourself and your goals. The address is on the WWE website of where to send this to. Address it to new talent acquisitions. Once you send it off, give it about 3 weeks before you attempt to contact. Then every week after that, attempt to contact until they give you an answer. If they tell you to fix something, fix it and send a new tape or DVD. Don't wait for them.
Lastly, when you do find a wrestling school, don't limit your learning by only wanting to do one wrestling style. You truly don't know what type of wrestler you will be until you are actually out there. Learn all the moves, counters, high spots, and psychology you can. Once you have been learning for a while, you will know what moves you do well and what moves you do not do well. Then you build a gimmick and style around that. You don't want to be a high flyer if you have a 5" vertical leap (as an example). You don't want to be a mat wrestler if you can't grasp what a proper headlock looks like (also as an example). Your trainers should be able to help you with move sets and psychology to cover the moves you do well and the moves you take well.
I hope this information helps you. Good luck.
