𝟭. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 Contact promoters the way they prefer to be contacted, with a short professional pitch and one link to your promo kit. Find them through their promotion's social pages, their website, and locker rooms you are already in. The best contact is a warm one: meet them at their shows, help before you ask, and let wrestlers they trust vouch for you. Cold messages work. Relationships work faster. 𝟮. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 Every booking starts with a contact. If you cannot get in front of promoters the right way, your training and talent stay invisible. Get this right and you build a network that feeds you bookings for years. Get it wrong and you get ignored, or worse, you get remembered as the wrestler who would not stop blowing up someone's phone. This is pure Reach: getting seen by the right people, the right way. 𝟯. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗪𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 Here is what I know from running New Ohio Wrestling: most wrestlers treat contacting a promoter like buying a lottery ticket. They fire off the same lazy message to fifty promotions and hope. That is backwards. Promoters are people. We remember who came to our shows, who helped stack chairs, who was respectful in the locker room, and who a trusted veteran vouched for. One warm contact beats fifty cold ones. The message matters, but the relationship behind it matters more. 𝟰. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗜𝘁 Think of contacting promoters as three levels, from coldest to warmest. 𝘓𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 1: 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩. A message to a promoter who has never heard of you. It works if the pitch is clean, but it is the hardest road. 𝘓𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 2: 𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘮 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩. You have been to their shows. You have commented on their posts. Your name is vaguely familiar before your message lands. 𝘓𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 3: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩. A wrestler, trainer, or referee they trust says "book this kid." This is how most bookings actually happen. Your job is to move every target promotion up one level before you pitch. That is Reach work. 𝟱. 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽-𝗯𝘆-𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘱 1: Build your target list. Every promotion within your travel range. Find the booker's name, their pages, and how they take pitches. Why it matters: pitching the wrong person or the wrong inbox gets you deleted. Example: some promoters want email only, some run everything through Facebook. Match their preference.

This was on of the best Ring entrances ever that I have ever witnessed. Epic intro, unbelievable match, this was professional wrestling perfection ❤️

Most wrestlers don’t quit because they stopped making progress. They quit because they stopped noticing it. They only count the huge moments: • Winning a championship • Getting booked by a major promotion • Wrestling in front of a packed crowd • Going viral online Those moments are great. But they are rare. Real careers are built one small win at a time. ✅ You had a better match than last time. Win. ✅ A fan asked for a picture. Win. ✅ A promoter praised your work. Win. ✅ You remembered to slow down and sell. Win. ✅ Your promo felt more natural. Win. ✅ You gained five real followers. Win. ✅ You learned from a mistake. Win. These moments may feel small today. Stack them for one year and you become a different wrestler. Stop comparing your Chapter 2 to somebody else’s Chapter 20. After every match, write down: 1. One thing you did well 2. One mistake you learned from 3. One thing you will improve next time Progress does not always arrive carrying a championship belt. Sometimes it shows up as one better decision than you made yesterday. 👇 What is one small win you had this week? Don’t brush it off. Claim it.

What job in running your wrestling career, school, or promotion eats the most time every week?

Most people think training for pro wrestling means learning moves. Moves are only part of it. You train for professional wrestling by joining a legitimate wrestling school and preparing your body for the demands of the ring. There is no safe substitute for qualified, in-person instruction. A legitimate wrestling school teaches you how to bump, run the ropes, protect yourself, protect your opponent, communicate, and perform inside a real wrestling ring. Outside of wrestling school, your responsibility is to develop your conditioning, strength, mobility, recovery habits, and discipline. Wrestling school teaches you the craft. Physical preparation helps your body handle it. I have been training wrestlers for a while now. The students who make progress are rarely the ones who try to learn the flashiest move first. They are the ones who master the fundamentals: • Bumping • Footwork • Timing • Positioning • Conditioning • Communication • Listening • Protecting their opponents The mat doesn’t lie. It exposes shortcuts every single time. ━━━━━━━━━━ WHY DOES PRO WRESTLING TRAINING MATTER? Training is where careers are built—or cut short. Train correctly and you can develop: • A body prepared for the demands of wrestling • Safe and dependable ring habits • Better timing and positioning • Confidence under pressure • Trust with trainers and opponents • A reputation promoters respect Train recklessly and you can hurt yourself, hurt someone else, and damage your reputation before your career gets started. Promoters don’t want to book wrestlers who are dangerous. Your reputation begins before your first booking. It begins with how you train. ━━━━━━━━━━ CAN YOU TEACH YOURSELF PRO WRESTLING? No. You can improve your fitness, study matches, practice speaking, and develop character ideas on your own. You cannot safely teach yourself how to take wrestling bumps, run ropes, perform holds, or execute wrestling moves. You need: • A qualified trainer • A properly constructed wrestling ring
