(+) Yeah! (+)

Not, WWE but to train to become a pro wrestler? Does it take month or years to be certified?

I think your best bet on answering this is looking it up or find someone who is currently in the business to talk to. You could ask VRX3000 over on the Pro Wrestling: Other Feds board. He's currently training and working for a indie promotion called "Right Coast Pro".

I don't think there is a time frame or anything like that. Find a local gym that trains and learn. Work until you're ready to advance and keep going from there. It's not like you can just train for x amount of time and then audition for like TNA or something.

If you're 14, start training.

If you're older, it's probably too late.

Go to CHIKARA.

Depends.

Conditioning. Usually folks who train to be wrestlers are in some kind of shape. Those that need conditioning will spend time gaining it.

Training. If you gonna go backyard, then youll learn from others who were self taught. Itll take time to learn what they know. If you gonna learn at an actual school, i think youll learn the fundamentals in a structured way. Its class paced i imagine. The big thing is learning to work with others and not hurt them or yourself. Its gonna take some time and effort for this. Youre ready when these prowrestler trainers tell you.

Former coworker of mine did prowrestling on the side. Hes pretty passionate about it. He would tell me from time to time how it was going cause im a wrestling fan. He did backyard stuff in washington and told me stories. I had no reason to doubt him. I dunno though. Hope it gives you an idea. The best way is to actually find these local wrestlers and learn what you can from them.
