I cant imagine any normal woman taking a guy in his late 20's early 30's that 'wrestles' seriously... LOL, I have two friends that are semi-pro wrestlers (think ECW level) and they are both mid-late 30's women just laugh at them when they tell them what they do in their spare time (they both have 2 jobs each to support their pro wrestling hobby) I think they make around $150-175 a match..
this is them (they're a tag team)

I've been to a few of the shows, the average attendance is maybe 150-200 people, I think it's a joke and a waste of time
they tried to get me interested in it based on my physique a few years ago but it wasn't for me..
Probably the smart thing to do is avoid it.
What your friends are making is average
(I'm assuming they're making that amount each).Unfortunately, that's about as far as most guys make it these days.
At one time, it was bad-ass to be a pro-wrestler.
A lot of girls dug it.
Right now, though, wrestling is far from hot, and there's no prestige associated with it like back in the territory days when the public perceived all wrestlers as financially well to do.
If you're smooth enough and have a good body, you can find a girl to screw any night in any town.
But no woman will want to settle down with a guy pushing 40 who's more serious about wreslting in high school gymnasiums than an actual career with a 401k.
Unless you're in the big leagues, it should be the other way around: career first, wrestling as a hobby.
One of my buddies was about 33 when WWE signed him to a developmental contract.
He was released a short time later.
I thought for sure that he would move on and try to settle on a real career, but no...
Four years later
(and older), he's
still chasing the dream.
These fukking people need to set deadlines for themselves.
