How To Pass a WWE Try Out [2025]

[@MJGrayson]

I think with the companies shift in direction, coupled with the fact I didn't start training until I was 25 (and now pushing 33), my overall goal of reaching WWE has definitely changed. That being said all of these points absolutely translate to working the indies, especially point 1. That's what I'm taking from this; When I get to a show, I want to make sure I walk in the happiest, most charismatic guy in there, make sure I'm in the best shape I can be, and put on the best show I can. Thanks for this one Mike, I needed to hear some of this

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Right on - I appreciate ya, MJ!

[@bradytomaz]

Don’t give up. Idc we can wrestle dude. Just have to look as young as the kids but stronger and more charismatic. That’s easy if you’ve been keeping up with yourself. None of what he says bothers me this seems doable. I remember watching NFL, NBA videos on how to get in this isn’t that. The key words for me were “teach you later”. Which isn’t what happens in other sports. They want you to know already and be fit. Charisma doesn’t matter here it does!! I’m lucky knock on wood…never had an injury or surgery. I played 4 sports year around as a kid til middle school. I gave up bc of politics. Still in shape though. Enjoy wrestling. I have a trainer 😅 if I went hard for awhile they would let me in I have a gimmick too.

[@TheTMNTurtle]

Curious to know your thoughts on this new age developmental training. While I appreciate WWE taking itself seriously to build professional athletes, I can't help but to think of all the talent they would have missed out in had they implemented this before. Mick Foley, Vader, Dudleys, etc all great in ring storytellers and characters but I doubt would have the stamina to cut through this training. It also cuts out all the wildly different shapes that made wrestling a possibility for many. Why do you think this is?

[@TilWeMakeIt]

I agree with your point about Foley, Vader, et al. These practices reflect the changing tastes of a billionaire bodybuilding enthusiast, hitting his mid-70s. It’s nothing more. But now in my 4th decade of loving and living the business, this developmental training represents another step away from the pro-wrestling I enjoy most.

[@don1234531]

@@TilWeMakeIt so being completely honest i'm 5'9 180lbs with an athletic built with no wrestling experience and im 25 right now so the chances of me getting at least getting a try out are slim to none right?

[@LEXICON-DEVIL]

@@don1234531 Everything is slim to none. You already failed with that mindset. You gotta think outside the box. At the end of the day a nice physic is a dime a dozen. Work on a character and that will overshadow physical ability. How can they sell a wrestler with no identity and flair? I'm older than you at 34 and I have plans for the industry but my plans don't rely on "getting in". If I tried out and didn't get in it's not over for me. There's other avenues. Remember it's entertainment. Look at all the old wrestlers still going at it. It's a ridiculous goal to many so you need to find your own drive for why. I'm a music major in guitar and got accepted to Musicians Institute on Hollywood and highland. I was the only one accepted in my entire harbor area. 10/10 professional guitarists are a dime a dozen out here. They emphasized our character more than skill. You can easily learn wrestling moves with training but you can't teach a great attitude and personality. It's business. Remember they are profiting off of your body that's put in danger. Your life is at stake. People get paralyzed and brain damage. It's not fake but plans go wrong. Don't underestimate yourself as a person as that's the guy they gotta do business with. If they genuinely like you that's worth more than anything.

[@LEXICON-DEVIL]

@@don1234531 Also, if you have many goals I'd advise to prioritize physical goals vs goals that can be met at any age. 😉🤙

Honest words- I started to hit the gym at 14 years old. But I didn't trained rigorously at those times. I started hardcore workout routines when I was 16 years old. Now I'm 18 years old. I don't go to gym. Still I workout to the point where I can't go anymore and nowadays I am doing my best to surpass it with 15lbs and 22lbs dumbbells and calisthenics. I do cardio( body weight hiit workout) for one hour straight. But the problem is I'm an Indian and WWE don't conduct any tryouts here, do they? If yes do you see any chances in me according to my training? I've been also getting better and better in acting skills and promo cuttings by practicing in front of mirror. Please reply.

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Well, one doesn't really "sign up" to go to the Performance Center. You would go through several rounds of selection, and only after that process, would you be invited to a try-out. A small percentage (think 5% or less) of the people that try-out are offered a chance to sign. It would be extraordinarily difficult to make it through the selection process without some sort of athletic background.

[@roysmakeup301]

Wrestling is my passion and I have such a huge personality. I kind of hate that I prolonged my career but I’m not complaining about it. The only thing that I’m focused on is my age bracket. I’m 30 and want to go for my dream/passion. Do you think 30 is too late?

[@TilWeMakeIt]

That depends, really. If getting signed by WWE is your dream, then yes. Their current hiring standard is no one over the age of 26 gets to audition. That might change as Triple H reshapes talent guidelines into 2023, but that's where things stand right now. But WWE is just one piece of the pro-wrestling landscape.

They weigh these very heavily. If you are an athlete with a telegenic look, sometimes they'll give you a pass, but otherwise, your promo has to deliver.

[@bradytomaz]

In 34 but I look 26. I’m in physical shape too I’ve been working in warehouses -20 weather. I like pain. 😂 I may c about this

[@MaddoxLyrics]

WOW, i would have really thought the most important thing was your face, voice, and acting ablilities, they can always get you in shape, and teach you how to wrestle, but how to work a crowd? How to talk to a camera? How to naturally have charisma? Some people just dont have that shit and its unteachable, truely, some people just dont have the mental capacity and social skills to do that stuff and to me, that would have been my upmost priority if i was casting for the WWE. Crazy how thats not. As the story telliing is the most important part.

[@honeyandlavender_]

I’m 24 and still not in the right shape. I’m still finding wrestling schools and preparing my schedules. When I heard the were now only focused on ppl even younger than me, my motivation & hopes to be in WWE were crushed. Not gonna lie.

[@jonathancoleman9266]

Don’t worry bro I’m 26 getting ready to start training eventually wwe is gonna have too hire pro wrestlers

[@TilWeMakeIt]

I can understand that. I just want to offer this thought to you: lots of people grew up on WWF / WWE, and it's hard to parse what it has become, from what we recall colored by our childhood nostalgia. But if your passion for pro-wrestling is bigger than just the love of one company, there are so many ways out there for you to make your mark, to rule the ring in new and innovative ways, and to leave a legacy you can be proud of....without ever setting foot in a WWE ring.

[@laronsmart9086]

And I don't know how it works in reality but if I pass the tryout what's next do they get us ready when it's time for us to make our TV debut

[@honeyandlavender_]

@@jonathancoleman9266 They’re still doing it, but their biggest priority are very young college athletes.

[@honeyandlavender_]

@@laronsmart9086 Some of them spend 1 maybe even 2 years training full time before debuting in NXT.

[@miabalboa8689]

i love wwe and this is a good video, id love to be a wrestler but honestly i’ve heard things about wwe and it seems toxic

[@TilWeMakeIt]

That environment and training culture definitely isn't for everyone!

[@dylannoblett]

What’s the ideal age for wwe athletes ? Is there an age that’s too late ? Nvm lol I asked while I was still watching. Thanks for all the info !

[@TilWeMakeIt]

No sweat, Dylan - thanks!

[@thepollguy4311]

Does weight matters in WWE tryouts

[@TilWeMakeIt]

If you have the right look, weight is not especially important.

[@cjmasiker]

Im only 5'5 you think ill make it

[@freshair986]

There is so many great talent in the wrestling business that was and is currently under 6’1.. Like really?

[@javirosariovlogs9551]

Hey mike! Do you believe wwe has any preference with tattoos? (For example, would a head tattoo hurt my chances?) See you at the seminar!

[@TilWeMakeIt]

That's tough to say. They always want people with "unique looks," so that might actually help. But if you follow what they went through with Randy Orton's tattoo artist and that legal battle....well, I could also see them being a little gun-shy about tattoos. I don't think I could give you an iron-clad answer that means anything, unfortunately.

[@salinaschristian4522]

I mean examples like bam bam biglow has a head tattoo. Also make sure that the person who did your tattoos is okay with it because they can sue you for having their artwork shown on WWE without permission. But I’d honestly say you’re fine.

[@TheeJPH]

I’m 5’7 am i cooked? 😮

[@Xtreme_Entertainment]

Never brother, I'm the same height trust yourself and the process

[@thepollguy4311]

Does WWE pay for hotels, travels, plane travels

[@TilWeMakeIt]

If they invite you to the try out: yes. They cover all travel expenses.
