Ok LC here's my views on this:
Being the fact that i'm in the UK and your US, things are probably different, but here goes.
I got beaten the hell out of for about a year, yeah like 3:16 said you learn the basics and we were allowed to do other things as well but on the whole it was 'hey Dave come over here and take this move', sometimes they were strict as hell. If you fuck up you get chopped, if you don't do something right you get chopped, if you answer back you get chopped. I now know it was done to see if I would keep coming back, once you get past that your fine, as the worst is over. Not to say I didn't go home black and blue, because i did, but I kept at it because I wanted it and I achieved my goal and it's one of the few things in my life that i've stuck to and can look back and be proud of what i've done
As a manager though, most managers that i'm aware of haven't even stepped in the dam ring, which is insane really, because the manager is the guy who the fans want to see take that bump. when you go to training, tell them first that you want to be a manager, I would imagine that from there you would still have to learn how to bump and some other basics, but that should be it, I would think anyway. The tough part is finding someone to manage and then finding a booker who's willing to pay for 2 guys instead of 1. You may find that you don't get paid a great deal if anything at all being a manager, but that's when you have to question why it is that you do this. Over the years I have probably lost more money than i've made with the amount of cash i've spend on travelling, training, ring gear and time of work with injuries, but i don't care, i'd do it all over again, you need to except that now rather than when you've been in the biz for 5 years and you haven't made a dime.
If you want to know anything else let me know
