The traditional route is to go through a wrestling school and then figure out what is needed in independent promotions.

Professional wrestler Scarlett Bordeaux told Pak Gazette Digital in a recent interview that she became involved after falling in love with the sport when she was young.
“I worked at a movie theater my first job and some of my coworkers were big independent wrestling fans,” he explained. “They went to AAW every month. I didn’t know what the hell they were talking about when they talked about going to wrestling every month, but one day I thought, let me go with you. I don’t want to go to prom, so let me go with you instead of going to prom.
“I loved it. I thought it was amazing. And within a few months of going to these indie shows, I was like, I kind of want to do this. I feel like I can do this. I asked if I could help set up chairs, take out the trash, anything I could do to be around. I just approached the promoter of a show, and then a few months later, it was December, Christmas, he asked me if I had a sexy Santa costume because they wanted to give me a hammer. I didn’t know what a piledriver was, but I said yes, and I took the hammer. piledriver, I went back and they threw a bucket of snow at me and said welcome to the business and I was hooked.
From there, Bordeaux worked his way up in the business. He appeared in several independent promotions and won a few championships along the way.

“There was a wrestler named Keith Walker. This guy, I mean he was probably 6-foot-5, he was a big guy, a big guy. It was a choke. And when I tell you my knees hit my forehead, that’s how hard I doubled over,” he told Pak Gazette Digital. “Everyone thought it was great. They wanted it again the next month.
“The next month I did it. I felt like a sting from it. I just felt like the buzzing through my leg and I limped briefly and they said, you’ll never get that again. That was absolutely the worst hit I’ve ever taken.”
