This Is Gonna Be A Stupid Post But Need Advice!

[powerlifterjay]

Ok its off topic. This is the second time two different people have come into my wife resturant and seen me and asked me to come to their camp and wrestle. Now i dont mean submission i mean pro wrestling. Its a small org like smokey mountain wrestling ETC. The do shows here in florida in fact its called CWF. Which is Championship Wrestling from Florida! When i was a kid CWF was a wing of the NWA, which later turned into WCW. SO for you wrestiling buffs this isnt the same thing.

I am a full time College Student and i dont work. So would you do it? I mean WWF ya. But to go to Highschools and fairs and act like a wrestler could be fun , but also embarassing. I have the card here and was thinking about callin it.

What do ya'll think?

It could be fun and interesting? There may even be some decent money in it but I would probably say, "no". If you get into the wrestling thing there will probably be a lot of travel involved and it takes a lot out of the body. Basically, you would be kissing your powerlifting career good-bye. It may be difficult to stick to a good training regimen. I don't know a lot about the business though, so the issues above may be minor and you may be able to work the wrestling into your schedule.

Well considering its kinda local (state) travel couldnt be that bad. I dont knwo i havent called. I would think the money would suck. Its not WWF! Unfortuatly. But ..who knows good point though on interfereing with my lifting, hell it would probably interefer with my studies as well. Its gonna take some thought.

Anyone else? Anyone no the bizz alittle?

I think that you should give it a chance Jay. I saw those pics of you benching and you do look like a wrestler already with the muscles, tan and strength and I can tell you have the personality from your posts. It would be tough to compete in powerlifting and wrestling at the same time though. You may want to try out the wrestling and see how it goes and if you dont like it-you are already established in powerlifing so either way you will do well.

Jay and the rest of the Fla lifters- I originally thought I was going to come up to Daytona for the June 1st meet but I can't. I just moved from Ft. Lauderdale to Miami and I am working all the time. Due to work and distance, I wont be training at Southside anymore, but I want to thank you all for all the replies from my thread about the contest last month. Thanks

I will maybe call them tommorow. I called around and some people i knwo , knwo them and said its fun. We'll see if it doesnt interfer with my training. And if i do it, i gotta be a heel! There is no way i am going to be a baby face! Bad guys in wrestling rule!

Anybody here every wrestle though? Just curious before i call them as to how much rehearsing has to be done.

Cytomel sorry you cant make it to Daytona. Was looking forward to meeting you. If something happens and you can make it blast on up. A1A all the way!

PLjay, go for it. You will kick yourself in the ass later in life if
you pass this chance by.

Who knows where this could lead. This may open other doors
for you. It could lead to big things. At the very least, it will
probably leave you with some good memories.

True, but a freind of mine told me they rehease at night. I will call them tommorow and see what they say. A couple hundred bucks a match is easy pay not to mention it may be fun as well. Holloaring at the crowd, getting boo'd! LOL sounds fun! But if its gonna interfere with my lifting i will simply say no. Pwerlifting is number 1. And until i lift what i want too i will lift hard till its done.

It will interfere with your lifting for sure and the chance for injury is high. Do what you want to do in powerlifting and then move on. My $.02

Jay- I don't know your whole financial situation, but I'd say if powerlifting is even half as important to you as I think it is to you, then you should decline the offer. It will interfere probably i more ways than one. Just my opinion.

Powerlifting is great but it doesn't pay the bills. This may be a small time offer but everyone has to start somewhere. Talk to Scott Taylor about wrestling -- he is a former wwf wrestler.
