question for people with pro wrestling experience

[MusclemanD]

I am looking into camps. Is there anything I need to be weary of or prepared for getting into pro wrestling?
Also I am 5'10 big boned and am slowly getting as musclular as I can. I weight 220 right now.
Am I too short to wrestle?

There are short guys and tall guys in wrestling. I trained with guys 5'8 to 6'9, 180 to 350lbs. Its all about getting a crowd response, good or bad. Be ready for headaches, if your not use to hitting a mat.

So it may make me a little dull or slow in the head eventually?

 

[heavyroller]

It can't be good for you. LoL

You'll learn to keep your chin tucked, so that will help prevent your head from snapping when you take a back bump.
You can bill yourself as 6'1" and 240lbs. You should prepare mentally for numerous busted noses, lips, and black eyes. Good Luck!

You're not too short. There were shorter wrestlers that were successful:

Eddie Guerrero: 5'8"
Rey Mysterio: 5'6"
Chris Benoit: 5'10"
