      I never thought it was lame cuz I always knew it’s was fake and it’s just fun to me, but yeah I do think wrestling isn’t as good as it used to be and definitely grew more of an understanding of how difficult it is to do.
      I tried a free wrestling class and was gonna join the school had it been closer to me, even thought about moving to Philly for it, unfortunately I couldn’t afford it. But man was it hard and definitely something that takes a long time to get really good at just like any sport.

      I tried to get into the business years ago. (I have a different look being Chinese, Japanese and Hawaiian) UPW (Cena was the Prototype there) accepted me but the 9-11 tragedy stopped the move in 2001. Had a match with Yuji Nagata and another with Dragon Gate. Did a Chikara event with Generico, Fire Ant, Eddie Kingston and others. Teddy Hart moonsaulted on my head. Almost had a match with AJ Styles. My FCW tryout was with AJ Lee and Adam Rose. I had a smackdown tryout where I helped a run in with Matt Hardy. It was a short run but my regrets are not getting to meet and learn from all the greats out there. Thankfully I didn't get too hurt in those years.
      And to everyone who is chasing their dream, don't give up. I hope you get farther than me.

    As a wrestling fan, I could say:
    1. You were extremely athletic and bumped and sold well. Extremely well, most newbs don't sell well.
    2. You were also blown up pretty early on
    3. Vaughn gave you lots of rest time between moves. That's part of the carrying lol
    4. Wanna do that for 30 minutes?
    As a karate fan, I could say
    1. The bumps are endless breakfalls and throws. I did that Wednesday at karate for 2 hours and my back is still hamburger.
    2. Your karate definitely showed; that jumping roundhouse by the turnbuckle was great.
    3. You got more "keyed in" the longer the match went, your karate instincts and training kicked in. Muscle memory for the win!

      Good guys like you help make the show. Ring crew guys are crucial to a wrestling show. Fans have no idea the experience it takes to put up a ring, let alone make fine adjustments to the canvas, banners and to balance the turnbuckles not just for distance but for tension.
      I tried to get into the business years ago. (I have a different look being Chinese, Japanese and Hawaiian) UPW (Cena was the Prototype there) accepted me but the 9-11 tragedy stopped the move in 2001. Had a match with Yuji Nagata and another with Dragon Gate. Did a Chikara event with Generico, Fire Ant, Eddie Kingston and others. Teddy Hart moonsaulted on my head. Almost had a match with AJ Styles. My FCW tryout was with AJ Lee and Adam Rose. I had a smackdown tryout where I helped a run in with Matt Hardy. It was a short run but my regrets are not getting to meet and learn from all the greats out there. Thankfully I didn't get too hurt in those years.
      And to everyone who is chasing their dream, don't give up. I hope you get farther than me.

    Seth if you have the opportunity why not trying catch wrestling ? it's the roots of pro-wrestling, folkstyle and freestyle wrestling. Numerous moves in pro-wrestling are based on catch wrestling techniques that were used either to submit or help pining your opponent. I don't know where you live but for schools that you can potentially contact, there is the Catch Wrestling Alliance in California, American Hook Wrestling on the east coast, or the Old School Grappling Catch Wrestling Association. Or you can contact Scientific Wrestling or Snake Pit USA as they both have affiliated schools across north america.

    • @JackgarPrime
      @JackgarPrime 9 месяцев назад +4

      I would think your ability to breakfall would actually have a significant benefit from pro wrestling training. Not to mention your body's ability to adapt to those sorts of impacts in general. A pro wrestler also has to be an expert at gauging distance and timing. Knowing how to NOT hurt someone with a move that very easily could is a testament to having excellent precision. So while you probably won't be doing a scoop slam in an MMA match, there are so many smaller, more subtle technical and psychological details that carry over.

    Thank you for covering this! I've attended pro-wrestling in 2017, and based on my experience, I can definitely say that matches might be choreographed (although there are styles of pro-wrestling that utilize full-contact and actual competition), but you CAN still actually take pro-wrestling as a legit martial art. First, it's based on actual wrestling like catch-as-catch-can and you can use this kind of moves, here are few examples: my friend and a fellow pro-wrestler took down an attacker with headlock takedown, and our coach escaped the front waist lock position with vertical suplex in an actual fight. Second, the training includes a lot of cardio, exercises for strength and flexibility, some actual martial arts practices like tap boxing. Third, Brazilian capoeira also has choreographed fights and karate has katas, but nobody says capoeira or karate are fake and unusable.
