Ah, need some career advice Wreddit.

Dude... part of life is coming to grips with your ticket in the genetic lottery. 12th grade, 5'8, 120... you'll fill out some, maybe add another inch or two, but you're looking at being lucky to get Ziggler's size.

Even then, you'd better start hitting the stadium stairs & gym. There's room for guys with a belly if they have some athleticism (Owens), there isn't room for a skinny dude whose not in shape.

That said... anyone that tries hard enough can do it. But do you understand how "out of this world" awesome you'd have to be to get a serious look by most of the 3rd tier promotions?

ALTERNATIVELY, if you want to get into the business, you don't have to be a wrestler. Learn audio/video production, broadcasting, graphic design, ect. Go to your school's football coaches and tell them you're interested in learning to call and film games. Get involved in the school's web design/computer club, take an online class or two in basic web design and see if that sparks an interest.

There are a million ways to get into the business that don't require taking bumps, as WWE's careers page on their website will show.
