In the last four years of blogging on Pro Wrestling/Lucha Libre, one thing of importance is building up a small promotion continuously.
I had the opportunity of seeing this in my travels to Southeast Asia. Seeing promotions such as PUSO Wrestling, Filipino Pro Wrestling, World Underground Wrestling, TOP Dojo and SETUP Thailand grow right before us is major if a promotion wants to continue to grow.
According to sources, an average performer lasts on the average about 15 years. Some wrestle less and some wrestle more. I'm told the average has gone up slightly due to better nutrition and sports and wrestling equipment. Medical science is far better than what was experienced 60-70 years ago.
This article is definitely not intended to scare a veteran wrestler. I've seen pro wrestlers perform for years....like well into their 50s such as Ric Flair. However, wrestling, unlike, let's say baseball, has more body contact involved.
Whenever I see promotions such as GeneraXion Lucha Libre in Peru and 3Falls Lucha Libre in Bolivia promoting their training sessions and academies, it's great to see. The rewards from training means a future show! As a blogger and wrestling fan, will do the best possible in any way to continue promoting as training sessions as they happen.
