It's not just technical...
To work in wrestling you need to know people. There's a complex etiquette and set of customs, and if you go in without knowing about them, you're not going to get very far! All of this is covered in the course.
If you know, you know! This was my shot!
I'm not saying it was easy. To get to where I wanted to be I had to start at the bottom. I didn't have anyone pointing me in the right direction, but I can help you avoid the mistakes that I made!
