I visited 2 wrestling schools this week and talked to them about training to be a ref because it's always been my dream. They both told me I am too big to be a ref. My dreams are over, fuck wrestling

I refuse to believe that any wrestling school would turn away money in 2022.

They didn't say they wouldnt train me, they both said the same thing "you won't find work/get booked" but if you want to wrestle you have a good look". I don't want to wrestle, I want to be a damn ref

That's weird, because MMA usually has some huge refs. Biggest one I know of was 6'5, so you're slightly taller but weigh around the same. Even the jap guy Mario Yamasaki regularly towered over all of the fighters lol. I'm guessing it's different with wrestling, because it's fake fighting and most people would rather see the ref fight, over two 5'5 flippy shitters.

Mma needs big refs to break stuff up and assert control in case shit goes crazy. They are all former fighters

He probably wants to get involved in wrestling without having to take many bumps or at least without having to fall on his back as much.

Maybe just work like MJF, Jay White, etc instead. Lance Storm said he mostly avoided knee issues by wearing neoprene knee sleeves since his first day of training. How many guys that tall are even in the business right now? OP, think about it, you could be dimes. You can work smart for your size and probably get away without too many injuries. You're two inches taller than Bad Luck Fale and not fat, give it some consideration.

Did they tell that to Big John McCarthy? Fuck em. Find another place that will take you. Is ROH looking for refs when they boot back up?

In MMA you need big refs because they have to be able to bounce the fighters. In professional wrestling you don't want the referees mogging the stars, you want refs who look like they can be knocked out with one bump.

Talk to a promotion and ask to learn how to ref from them. There's not much to it, a good ref is like a good edit. If you don't notice it, it's doing its job properly. The biggest role is to communicate time queues to wrestlers and to make sure both aren't concussed.
