If you were a pro wrestler...

I want to keep this as "realistic" as your imagination can be (yeah sort of a contradiction), but I'm asking if you were a pro wrestler, how could you see yourself wrestling.

Keep in mind physical limitations and so forth.

So I want to get things started off... I'm 6'2" 215-220 which is too small, esp for the style I'd like to work. If I were going to be a pro wrestler, I'd need to put on at least 15-25 more pounds. That means a lot of time in the weight room, a lot of steak and a lot of *cough* supplementing.

I'm pretty sure I'd do all that before I started training. Now I know my limitations, I am heavy as hell on my feet, I'd obviously work on foot speed but even then I wouldn't be fast, so I wouldn't be a "quick as a hiccup" type worker.

What I lack in speed I would hope to make up for in intensity. I would focus my training on being able to take bumps, and I focus on being able to do really basic moves, very, very well. I'm not talking about being like Maven and being able to do a decent drop kick and that's it, I mean being able to make my punches look good and my kicks look good. I could see strikes being a huge part of my offense. I'd be a pure brawling grinder. Lots of headbuts, downward elbows to the head and throat, big time forearms and a serious lariat etc. I could never see myself being a fancy workout, prolly wouldn't know a wristlock from a wristlock. I'd wanna sort of work like Stan Hansen (although I'd be too small) meets Mick Foley. I wouldn't do crazy high spots like Foley but a move like that knee to the face of a fallen opponent lying on the bottom turnbuckle is something I'd do. etc. I think one of my moves would be something as basic as a really intense turnbuckle throw, like throw the guy so hard I fall off my feet and he bounces off the turnbukcle.

I would want my matches to be as resemblant to a fight as humanly possible. I'd try avoid convential silly spots and I would want it to be a non stop brawl, and would wrestle extrmely physically, and very little aerial offense.

I think that's the best I could ever do if I were a pro wrestler.
