PWI has posted Chris “Crowbar” Ford’s advice to aspiring wrestlers on not becoming another member of the wrestling dead pool. He starts by using maths to prove you probably won’t ever wrestle in TNA or WWE:
What Are My Chances Of “Making It†in Pro Wrestling?
There are 32 football teams in the NFL, each one able to carry a maximum of 53 players. 32 X 53 = 1,696 potential “spotsâ€
1,696 potential NFL spots Vs. the entire # of wrestlers on the WWE and TNA Roster
(maybe 100 positions ?)
Now, consider the odds for potentially earning a spot in professional wrestling
He also wants you to know why so many indie darlings sell out:
If you’re counting on actually making a living off of monies made doing independent wrestling shows forget it – there is no money in indy wrestling….Let me repeat that: THERE IS NO MONEY IN INDEPENDENT WRESTLING
Ford lays everything out on the table, so that alone makes it an interesting read, especially if you do want to get in to the business.
