Curious about who/what everyone here goes to when it comes to studying for pro wrestling? Are you studying the aspects of the profession itself? Or other arts outside to introduce into the wrestling scene?

We’ve all heard how important social media is in professional wrestling. And I’ve had a lot of you ask: “How do I actually get better at it?” Here’s a challenge that will do exactly that. Social media runs on engagement. The more engagement a post gets, the longer it lives. The moment you post something, it starts to die. Think of it like something floating in water. If nobody interacts with it, it sinks. Every like, comment, or share gives it life. It keeps it afloat a little longer. The longer it stays afloat, the more people see it. The more people see it, the more chances it has to grow. Not every post is going to blow up. That’s not the point. But you can help it. Every time someone comments on your post, reply to them. Keep the conversation going. Every interaction matters. Now here’s the challenge: Every single time your school, your home promotion, or a place that books you posts something: You engage with it. All three if possible: • Like / React • Comment / Reply • Share / Retweet This does two things: 1. It helps that company get more visibility 2. It puts your name directly next to theirs Now people start seeing you. Promoters start seeing your effort. Your value goes up. Make this a daily habit. Don’t just scroll and hope you catch something. Go directly to those pages on purpose and engage. If you have a home promotion, you should want it to win. More eyes = more ticket sales More merch More streams More opportunities for everyone involved Including you. You can contribute more than you realize. And like everything else in pro wrestling… Repetition builds habit. Do this long enough, and it becomes second nature. And now you’ve built a skill that travels with you everywhere you go. More bookings. More visibility. More opportunity. "If they don’t know, they can’t go." What’s one promotion or page you KNOW you should be engaging with more consistently? 📊 Poll Question: How intentional are you with your social media engagement?

I had a former student send me this link to a fantastic video on Youtube recently. Anyone that has studied under me, knows that I value the history of our industry and I try to educate as many as I can about it. This quick snapshot explains how wrestling went from shoot competitions during the Civil War to our current worked environments. While some things aren't 100% on point, and they skip over some chunks, I thought it was a great look from a channel that isn't pro wrestling focused. And I was blown away at the serious tone it takes. Most non-wrestling fan/groups poke fun at our industry and lean into the stereo-types and this one doesn't. It almost presents it in a scholarly way, if you can believe it. Go check it out and let them know I sent you with a well thought out and crafted comment. 😉 https://youtu.be/SzrQ2jHbiiw?si=-94LyZ-H3bIYE8j7

Stay Coachable Your ego will end your career faster than lack of talent ever will. I've watched incredibly talented wrestlers wash out of this business because they stopped being coachable. They got good enough to have some success, and they decided they didn't need to listen anymore. They knew better than their trainers. They knew better than the veterans. They knew better than everyone. And their careers stalled. Or ended. Because the moment you think you know everything is the moment you stop growing. And if you stop growing in professional wrestling, you start falling behind. The Coachability Curve Here's a pattern I've seen over and over again. Someone starts training. They're terrible. They know they're terrible. So they listen to everything. They're coachable. They want to learn. They soak up every piece of feedback. They get better. They start having matches. They start getting bookings. People tell them they're good. And somewhere along the way, they stop listening as closely. They start thinking they've got it figured out. They start getting defensive when corrected. Their improvement slows down. Or stops completely. Meanwhile, the wrestlers who stay coachable keep improving. They keep learning. They keep getting better. Five years later, the coachable wrestlers are having great careers. The ones who stopped listening are out of the business wondering what happened. Here's the thing: the better you get, the more important it is to stay coachable. Because the feedback you need at that level is more subtle. More nuanced. Harder to see yourself. If you're not willing to listen, you'll never get that feedback. And you'll never reach your potential. What Being Coachable Actually Means Let me clarify something. Being coachable doesn't mean being a doormat. It doesn't mean accepting every piece of advice without question. It doesn't mean never having your own opinions. Being coachable means being open to feedback. Being willing to consider that you might be wrong.
