Do you have to take acting classes to become a professional wrestler?

Answer by  lonelywolf (2117)

It might help, but it's not necessary. You should take a lot of exercise and physical fitness classes, because even though much of the action is staged, the job is still very physically demanding and requires a lot of strength, endurance, and flexibility.

You do not have to take acting classes. However, you have to be fit, and you will have to go to wrestling school(yes, there are schools that teach you how to "wrestle professionally"). It is hard work, and not many people make it. Good luck.

No, you don't (although it wouldn't hurt). Certainly you will have to become a charachter, but acting persay isn't required. A personna and the ability to deliver in ring promotions and speeches is something that you will have to acquire on your own,however, it is very important to a wrestler.

Acting classes are not required, but you might find them useful. Obviously, acting is a skill that you will have to acquire somewhere to be wrestler. Most professional wrestlers learn acting through their time with minor wrestling promotions. You should be aware, however, that making it to the WWE is like making it to the NFL; the odds are slim.
