How do WWE superstars ever get time with their families?
Sometimes they get time off with their families if they aren't doing houseshows in a week. Also sometimes when wrestlers have a injury; sometimes it may be kayfabe which means it's not a real injury and they are just spending time with family. Also if they lose an I Quit match they take time off. For example at One Night Stand: When Undertaker lost to Edge. Undertaker got 'banished' from WWE. And when Randy Orton lost too Triple H and he got his collarbone injury. Orton took that time off because his wife was going to have his daughter in a few months. ^^Those are the ways wrestlers get time to spend with their families or just relax. (:
I wanna be a pro wrestler but my family wont approve any advice?
I wanted to be one when I was 12. As I grew up and matured my goals and the way I viewed wrestling changed. A few years ago I went to a small local wrestling show again and it kind of made me want to do it again. Turns out there's a local wrestling school and I contemplated going but in the end decided not to because I don't have the size or the right type of body. You need to be in great physical shape and be ready to commit yourself to a carrer in bodily punishment. Not all wrestlers (except those natural) have long healthy lives so you should consider all the possibilities before deciding. Some wreslters spend their life on the road and live on painkillers. It's not as great a life as it looks. Anyway - if you do decide to go into it you should take up wrestling in school as it gives a great background introduction. Your parents may also get used to the idea of you in the sport as you prove your love and ability in it.

Should I tell my friends and family before leaving to join the French Foreign Legion?
First of all read everyones experiences here on Quora. None of us who served are saying it was 5 years of easy street, nor would recommend it as a choice even as we are proud we served our 5 or more and the lessons we learned were the hardest lessons we ever learned.Then go to see if you have the paperwork required if missing something don't delay getting it so if you do decide to present yourself all your paperwork is available. It shows you did your homework and can follow directions. And bring only what they tell you to bring for clothing, money etc.Look at the health/vision/teeth requirements! If you have cavities go get them fixed way ahead of you going. Had laser eye surgery? See the wait time and bring paperwork from the eye doctor.Start learning French now!!! Eat less food, work out like a high school wrestler would, but with more running. Can you do 25 pullups in a row? Doing both grips If not start working on it now.So what are you going to do if you get to the gate and he takes one look at the country your from and turns you away? Are you willing to go back in 2–3 months? What will you do if you go thru all the background checks/tests etc and you get a letter that says “come back in 3 months” and they tell you to leave for now. Do you come back in 3 months?May, June, July are the busiest months for recruits. So you might have a 1–25 chance. Are you willing to show up in October instead but it will still be like a 1–5 chance you will be asked to volunteer.If you read all you can, go there and be selected to volunteer you might earn the right to wear the most famous hat in military history and become part of most famous Legion in the world. You need the Legion more then they need you!
How do I beat stronger, faster, and taller wrestlers?
1. Don't be intimidated. To win you must believe you CAN win.2. Taller is not bigger. Bigger biceps is not stronger. My son has the family build, and while we are strong we don't look 'super strong'. He surprised many opponents by being actually stronger.3. Use your head and find their weaknesses. Wrestling is much more than bigger, stronger, badder. Wrestling is a thinking game. Where is their stance poor, what tells give away the next move? Plan to attack those weaknesses.4. Use your own strengths. If they are bigger (taller) and faster, you may have more endurance, so wear them out - just do it by pitting their strength against leverage. (leverage always wins, which is why smarter wrestlers usually win.) You certainly can use your more compact build to advantage. I had a workout partner who was 6'4", I'm about 5'8". He was particularly good at going hip to hip on situations and basically bump me over. After a bit I realized that being more compact I could attack his middle and won most of those takedowns. Tall is a sucker for a decent duck under, a low single, or my personal favorite a duck under to a double and heel trip.5. Don't let them attack your weaknesses. In college I ended up competing a few weight groups up (injuries left open spots in the lineup). So I'd go up against guys that had 10-30 lbs on me, but bigger is slower. Bigger also has less endurance, and I had a lot. The initial tie-up was inevitable, I'd just work to keep my feet and pry them off. After 20 seconds they'd be puffing from tossing me all over and I'd go to work, always on my feet, duck-under, trips, double leg to a lift or trip to get them on their back, then let them up. By third round they were no longer stronger than me and couldn't keep up. But I avoided strength-strength contests, finding levers, poor positions and fought their left with mine (being left handed is a huge advantage).6. Train. Run. Run a lot. Then run some more so you can wear them down. Run after the season is over, and join a freestyle club if there's one in your area. There is an entire other season of wrestling for you there; the best wrestlers wrestle freestyle and greco as well as the normal high school season.7. Spend time thinking about wrestling. Go over moves, imagine what they feel like - and put an opponent in the picture. Your body wears out, your mind can take a lot more and mental practice is still practice.Good luck!

If WWE is supposed to be "less violent" then why have there been more injuries in 2010 than any other year?
Most of the injuries haven't really been due to WWE being 'more' violent, but in fact, most injuries have been suffered via normal bumps and moves. Skip Sheffield broke his ankle which would've happened in most scenario's because there comes a time where your ankle has been put under so much strain that it will just snap. That can weaken over months and months. Undertaker's is an age issue and long term issue. His injuries didn't just suddenly arise, they are ongoing and have built up so in no way did he get injured because of more violence in ring. John Cena's injury from your average bump in match. CM Punk's through normal bumps. Most of these injuries are just because each week the wrestler wears their bodies down. Some point their body is goin to give and something has to break. This isn't because WWE is more violent or less violent. WWE is violent, full stop. WWE is also definitely less violent than before because now they have limits inside the PG rating. But these injuries are normal bumps, most of them anyway, so they would happen anyway. WWE is less violent, and their injury count doesn't represent that nor should be put together with it. The amount of injuries in WWE does not have much to do with the fact they say they have less violnce, because they do have less violence and thats so obvious. Injuries happen.
What does it take to become a professional MMA fighter? Assume one is 25 years old. Never fought in his life, below average physical conditioning. Is it even feasible? What does the timeline look like?
It's feasible. In fact, for some people -- of a certain talent, disposition, willpower, and work ethic -- its definitely possible.It is true that by 25, most aspiring pro MMA fighters will have already had years of training in some martial art or combat sport -- college wrestling or Golden Gloves boxing or heck, even some McDojo TKD. Those make things easier.But if you have good physical and hand-eye coordination, the financial ability to train five, six hours a day (e.g., you don't need to work 40-50 hours a week), and you're near some good training facilities? Why not?Assuming you're not excessively out of shape or obese, here's a really generic timeline:Start by learning to wrestle. Wrestling is one of the best bases for MMA, as skill in wrestling allows you to control when you want to keep things standing and when you want to take things to the ground. What's more, wrestling is one of the best ways to get into the physical condition (strength, endurance, explosiveness, etc.) needed for MMA.After a year or so, try some Muay Thai, some boxing, and some Brazilian Jujitsu. Give all three a month, find the one that comes most naturally and drop the other two. (My hunch is that boxing or BJJ will come most naturally to you. Most people find it difficult to learn how to kick well unless they start as kids in some sort of kicking art.) Train that intensively for a year, while making sure to do enough wrestling to keep up what skills you learned. Then: if you've been working boxing or Muay Thai, spend half a year working some BJJ. If you've been working BJJ, spend half a year working in some boxing.That's 2.5 years. Call it three. You're now 28. Plenty of mixed martial artists in their 30s (and I'm not counting outliers like Randy Couture, who was 47 when he retired from the UFC), so you still have some years left in you.A lot of this depends on you: your willpower and your innate physical talents. But I think it's doable.As to whether you ever reach the pinnacle -- fighting for a top promotion like the UFC or Bellator -- well, that's another story.. Remember that there's pro MMA in the UFC sense, and there's pro MMA in the sense of a local show/farm league kind of thing where the prize at the end of the night is a couple hundred dollars ...
