Current goals

Ok, so lets get my first steps in order. I'm working on a 3 month goal system. I think first things first I need to lose some flab and start getting healthy before I build on muscle (rather not be hiding it under fat).

Soooo....
May
-Plan out and fix my eating habits
-Start Cardio (jump rope, Hiking, Running, etc)
-Buy a Jump Rope (I live in L.A. near compton, its the smartest choice)
-Begin Light work out. Not too much, just some simple things to get my body used to the work.

June
-Begin Excercise routine. I found a good schedule that I can use as a base through MensHealth.com. Being that I know very little about excercise, using this as a guide might be a good start.
-Find new job. I am making diddly squat right now, and eventually I am going to need a gym membership (possibly a trainer) and start taking classes. I can hardly afford rent so the sooner this happens the better.

July
-Get gym membership.


I'm sure there will be more added as time goes on, but these are my short term goals as of right now. Armed with 2 free weights and a dirty floor, this gym shall improve slowly

Now making his way to the ring
Weighing in at.....


To have those phrases precede my stats as I enter an arena filled with fans, getting ready to defend a title is definitely a dream for me. But lets start from the beginning:



Hi, my name is Scrapz (no thats not my real name) and I want to be a pro wrestler.
according to most people thats kind of rediculous. Downright stupid to some. However it is something I have always wanted to do, whether I realized it sometimes or not.

Since kindergarten I have been a performer. I would do anything to entertain whoever would listen. And for as long as I loved entertaining others, I loved watching wrestling. I felt like I was watching real life superheroes battle it out. Colored costumes, big muscles, masks, super powers (Undertaker & Papa Shango, I'm lookin at you) I loved it all. But I was always discouraged because everyone around me felt it was so low brow. I was chastised for my fandom and my parents did not want that type of life for me. So I made the next logical step, I became a theater nerd.

Fast foward to the present. I graduated with a B.A. in theater and moved to L.A. to pursue acting, but the wrestling bug never quite died. Still been a loyal fan, it hit me like a ton of bricks.

I want to be a professional wrestler

I run into a number of problems:
-I'm not all that athletic
-I don't get all that much support elsewhere
-I can barely pay rent let alone gym membership and training

But Im not gonna let that stop me. It may take some time but I will pursue and live out my dream. Thats where this blog comes in. I plan to use this as a diary to watch my progress, keep tabs on myself and tell my own story. At the same time I hope to comment on the state of the industry and the news that will happen.

So sit back and listen to the story of how I made my way to the ring unfold....
