Why Wrestlemania Season Is Your Big Break

Wrestlemania will be here before you know it—less than 120 days away. Three major things are happening right now:

  • WWE and other major promotions need extras to fill segments

  • Indie shows are on the rise and bookers are looking for talent

  • Conventions, meet-and-greets, and networking events are being planned

Your one goal: GET NOTICED. You have 120 days, 120 opportunities. TAKE ADVANTAGE AND BUILD YOUR BRAND.

3 Steps to Get Booked During Wrestlemania Season

  • START TODAY: Cement your brand and identity. Bookers want names that ring bells.

  • STAY CONSISTENT: Maintain your image and elevate your output to stand out.

  • NETWORK: Take every opportunity to get your name out there. That event you skip could be a major missed chance.

Step Your Game Up

If there was ever a time to go ‘All In,’ the time is now. Poor quality anything can severely damage your image. A properly optimized brand can make the difference between spectating or staking your claim. Here’s how:

  • • Polish your social media profiles and ensure all contact info is up to date.

  • • All media should be top quality—photography and videography matter.

  • • Increase your social output with quality in mind. The goal is visibility.
