Come on down to the San Francisco bay area. West Coast Pro in Pacifica, CA is great. Stoner U in Oakland, CA has some top indie people. East Bay Pro in Concord, CA have the world Shotzi lol. Takedown Pro in San Jose, CA (use to be BTW in Fremont, CA that's where Bayley came from. And also in San Jose is Pro Wrestling Revolution, they specialize in Lucha. WWE ref Tom Castor came from here and Cain Velasquez trained here, as did Jungle Boy and Thunder Rosa in their very, very early days. I trained there for a bit as well, dude who runs it is an asshole.

West Coast is $175/mo
Stoner U is $300 down then $200/mo and when you hit semi pro $100/mo.
Pro Wrestling Revolution is $200/mo.
Don't know the others. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I read that the NJPW dojo is in LA. Do you think they’d take a green guy like me in or do they look for more seasoned talent? Same with the Nightmare Factory in GA?

Haven't heard much about the LA dojo I don't see why they wouldn't take someone green. Nightmare Factory still definitely take you. Brooke Havoc trained there and she's from the bay area she's done some Hoodslam shows (they're basically Stoner U's students) in Oakland.

Yeah but I trust Cody more than some other people. Where is the best dimes ratio schools? I’m willing to move I guess. I’m only 20.

I know I’m going to get shit on for listing my main inspirations, but I’d love to be the face foil to MJF, and try to have a match with CM Punk. Depending on how quickly I can pick this up, plans might and definitely will change. I’m not an AEW mark btw

Nightmare Factory is good. If you're willing to move, it isn't bad. A lot of guys will go train elsewhere to learn fundamentals and then go to the Nightmare Factory to improve. I trained at the Jacobs-Prichard Wrestling Academy in Knoxville. I recommend it above any other school. Kane isn't involved for the most part, just Dr. Tom, but he's the greatest trainer in the business today. You won't regret it.

Be athletic.
Go to one of the schools already mentioned.
Shut up about what you dislike so you don't make enemies and find yourself unbookable from the get-go.
Do toastmasters or whatever to improve your vocal skills.
Learn about PEDs and their proper cycling.
Don't fantasize about ending up in either fed.
Keep watching old matches with your expanding outlook on working.

Are there any good places to train in Australia? PCW seems decent since they've trained some well known Australian names (buddy mathews, emma, indi, duke hudson etc), but they also seem pretty expensive.

You paid for a tryout? Kek most places just make you pay and then you're in the school as long as you pay. At least that's the way it used to be

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the guy running it was a bit of a carny. He was also the owner/booker of the promotion and to my knowledge hasn't trained anyone I've ever heard of. tbf he gave me the chance to try again a month later, which was nice I guess, but I was already broke and couldn't afford fuel to drive up to the city (I live 3 hours away).

RARE helpful /pw/ post.

That said, the only piece of advice I can give you OP is to remember that it's a job, if you stick to it and once the opportunity comes remember to don't be a mark but also to don't sell yourself short either, you are gonna have to paid your dues now but if you stick to it, your time will come. Oh and for fuck's sake be KIND to anyone you have to work with, even if they look like some woke genetic experiment or some mcdonalds addict, you NEVER know what might happen in the future and being remembered as "that nice guy" is much better than "fuck that guy", specially in a small business like this.

which end of 3 hours? there used to be gyms in gippsland, swan hill, ballarat and geelong way back when hit them bastards up and see if they still have their rings and ask for one on one training if their gyms aint active even if its just on mats at an mma gym or something fuck driving 3 hours every week
Swan hill: brad mason
Ballarat: jim raze
Geelong: wade brewer
Gippsland: andy rhodes
Failing that find a cunt with no life to come up to your end for a few weekends a month to train in mats or whatever just pay em in beer/weed/bitches theyll be lining up to train you no cash sneeded

I agree with all of this. I’ve been listening to all the legends, and it’s money and miles. I even talked to guys in the business today and it’s similar. I know what I’m worth, and I want the most from the business
