Pro Wrestling 101 - Indie Wrestling

[@misterprickly]

This is very true! I've noticed that when a match is too scripted the wrestlers spend more time trying to remember the next few moves than working the crowd or selling pain.

[@SuperFriday]

I think Justin should have a promotion. He has the mind for it. I think it would be successful.

[@ljavwa3459]

I really hope he's making money off that mind of his

"Have a finish, and have fun." "When I have a ton of stuff in my head, I tend to shit the bed." AMEN!

[@polacopeter73]

[@bonbonl7907]

i don't know why but I fell in love with the indie match right there like its fun and more experiencing I'm about to start but I'm trying to do stretches and warm ups because I know Test if I want to be a wrestler I gotta fix a few points I'm 25 but I'm down

[@JJAlexanderDPW]

There's quite a few, depending on what area of the country you're in. A good starting point would be PWInsider Xtra.

[@heatherduby-tharpe9783]

Justin, you have incredible videos and I've learned so much from watching them. do you have ideas or suggestions for someone looking to start a promotion? finding wrestlers, sponsors, locations??? your advice would be appreciated

[@juanfourneau8879]

Thanks!! Why do young guys feel every match, every single match needs a false finish?

[@woodwwad]

Another great video Justin. Thanks for putting these up.

[@maziku4749]

there is a tag team from ontario called the flatliners. they wrestle at indy shows and man they are good. they remind me of the steiner brothers from the early to mid 90s.

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

If I was to be a wrestler, I'd want to call myself Steven Steiner. Then as a nickname, people would be able to call me STE STE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It'd be the best gimmick ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine my promos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd say things like, "You made the biggest mistake of your life by challenging me mortal, because STE STE is going to TEE TEE your head off like a golf club would with a fried egg!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[@cruzarab]

maaaaaan i miss justin credible

[@ZazzleFrazzleBoxInc]

Indie wrestling is the shit

[@Hercules719]

You should add the rosanne laugh at the end of your intro video that would be dope 💪

[@edtvproductionsredbeetle]

Tell that to my promoter & trainer. Where they won’t let you have a match unless you’re ready or are spot oriented where every move must be perfect.

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

In my opinion, it was the beginning of the dark ages of wrestling in 2001 when WCW's product had become almost unwatchable, and we went from having three major federations, to just one. ;*( I went from recording every WCW/ECW show I remembered to watch, to hardly watching any wrestling at all by the time to big "unification" came about just prior to Wrestlemania 17. ;*( Sometimes I've been happy when I've thought TNA might be coming on strong when I've seen clips of it on KZbin it recent months, but they kind of alienated me when I think they bleeped out the word GOD in this segment I watched not long ago between Hogan, his stable, and the psychotic clown version of Sting? Because if TNA are starting to try and please liberal communists by censoring God's name, then they can do without my viewership. It made me anxious enough that the theme music of the wrestlers kind of sounded like generic heavy metal pieces. ;*( And since I know what corrupt rich people and lawyers are like for trying to vilify celebrities with guilt through association, implying that if a fan of theirs says something on the celebrity's page, then the celebrity shares that opinion if they allow it to stay, I HEREBY STATE THAT THE OPINIONS STATED HERE ARE MY OWN, AND NOT THOSE OF JUSTIN CREDIBLE. If any duplicitous lawyers have a problem with this, then by all means, DON'T BE A COWARD. Confront me with your objections. If you have any qualms or anxieties in regards to what I said about TNA Justin, feel free to delete this. You know that once happened to me back on Francine's forum in 2002? I insulted Jeffrey Hardy there, and they banned me. ;*/ I think they just wanted the excuse to be honest. ;*|

[@BaronTurco]

It came to wwe in 1984. Liberal communists? Ha ha ha ha. What a maroon.

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

BaronTurco Liberals have lots in common with communists, such as drug addiction, extremist hatred towards those with differing idealogies, and feverish levels of atheism. I'd say to you liberal communists to go back to communist Russia, but funnily enough, even Russians don't want to be communists anymore. Vladimir Putin is a capitalist, and he's taken Russia to heights greater than it's ever seen before. Obama is cowering behind his desk in the frilly skirts he wears whenever he has to talk to Putin on a screen. So I'd say China is more your scene, but I doubt you'll want to go to a true communist nation like that, where you'll end up cleaning streets for next to nothing, living in a run down apartment complex, and having most Internet websites censored, so unless you're going to prove me wrong and move to China, then keep your foolish mouth shut, son.

[@BaronTurco]

Well, I must admit that you're the first person to call me "son", being that I'm 66 and a proud Atheist, meaning I can ignore your diatribe. As a matter of fact I'm moving to Europe where socialism is embraced, not feared by the wealthy and ignorant, like in the good old USA. And the best part of it is I can take a train trip to China just for the hell of it. Your response is nothing but plain shit, so don't waste your time writing it, as I won't be reading the rantings of a Fascist nutcase who isn't even capable of an intelligent sentence. BTW, you lost the election. Hasn't it sunk in yet? You'll be losing the next one as well..

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

BaronTurco I'm the first person to call you son? You mean that when you were a kid, your parents were too ashamed to be in your life, and tell people you were their son? As a proud atheist, you're saying you're proud of your feeble-minded lack of faith? Well go you, I guess. If no one else likes you, it's at least good that you have some delusional self-respect. Maybe one day you might actually accomplish something halfway meaningful in life. If the wealthy have more money than you, I'm pretty sure they've outsmarted you in some way, and you're just jealous to be calling them ignorant. Obviously I was right to call you a communist, since clearly you want everyone to be a poor no-mark like yourself, with absolutely no feelings of self-worth or faith. I pity you. I also pity you for being 66 years old, and still swearing away like an 11 year old, trying to rebel against authority. You need to grow up, SON. I'm 31 years old, but judging by my superior intellect, I clearly have every right to look down on you and call you SON. I mean what kind of smart person uses the word "maroon" to insult someone? You're calling me a shade of red? Obama isn't going to last the full 8 years in office. More and more people call for him to be impeached on a daily basis, and even people who you would never expect political comments from have started openly mocking Obama. Obama is going to go down in history as THE WORST PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME. Maybe that's what he's going for though, hoping it'll help ensure he's remembered.

[@BaronTurco]

Yawn. I didn't even bother to read it.

[@BusterMyth1]

hi! is it that if you are not so tall you cant be a good wrestler? please answer?

[@myvisionisaugmented]

Nah, height doesn't really matter too much. As long as you're at least 5-somethin, you should be fine. Rey Mysterio, Big E Langston, Daniel Bryan, Eddie Guerrero are some well known wrestlers under 6 feet tall. Even the current posterboy, John Cena, barely passes the 6 foot mark, standing at 6'1" You're gonna want to have some muscle of course, but once you're looking somewhat beefy, your height and weight don't really matter. If you look like you can hold your own against most other wrestlers and have the in ring talent, that's the most important thing.

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The minimum size requirement for being a wrestler in ECW was that you had to be at least 7'6"!!!!!!!!!!!!! In WCW, you had to be at least 8 feet tall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And in WWE, you have to be at least 9'1"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ASHES206]

Justin should come back to KZbin or maybe even think about opening his own school , I'd pay to learn some knowledge

[@henriktheestonianicon627]

Amazing advice
