questions about prices and being a wrestler

[ParaParaJMo]

OK, I am a Japanese major in college and I plan on graduating within 2 years. I also plan on attending wrestling school either in the state I live in (I live in Arizona and there is a wrestling school in my area that costs $3000 http://www.geocities.com/impactzone2...pageindex.html

or find some school in japan. either way i intend on wrestling in japan one day. i know it aint going to be easy. i also plan on going to japan in may and i want to know how much ticket prices are for big events like New Japan or All Japan. I have a 10 year tae kwon do background and a short ametuer background during jr. high and my first year of high school and i still intensley practice with my friends who are still wrestling.

i need some advice. i dont know if i will choose to become a wrestling immediatly after college but if I do choose to go to Japan and attend training school there, I may plan on teaching English lessons for money (ala Spike Dudley teacher before wrestler), or I could stay at home with my parents and go to wrestling school for a year in Phoenix and just pay for my lessons and nothing more.

I have no intentions in wrestling in America at all right now due to it's lack of credibility.

Does anyone know what the travel schedule is in Japan (i know the WWF/E is 270 something days a year) and the pay? If things go well for me, I'll try and have a good 20 year career.

You can see that it mostly works by TOURS... You gotta sign for tours as a foreigner... Some Examples are Black Tiger (Silver King) worked about 2 or 3 tours... Some Juniors only worked the BOSJ, others like heavyweights Giant Singh & Silva worked 2-3 tours...
