My name is Ryan Katz and I have 23-years of experience in this industry, working as a commentator, manager, wrestler, promoter, writer, videographer, and producer.  I have started my own promotion, my own wrestling school, performed all over the country in front of live crowds, television and pay-per-view audiences, was part of a team that created WSX on MTV, worked on the WWE Smackdown vs Raw video game franchise, and had an 8.5 year long run working in character development and content creation for the WWE Performance Center and the ‘black-and-gold brand’ of NXT.  I’ve either made the mistakes or seen the mistakes that most rookies make along the way, which allows me to layout an easy to follow, easy to read procedural passageway to get you started on your journey.  What follows in this eBook is a collection of resources and research to get you started, but it’s exactly that, a starting point.  It’s up to you to take the first steps forward and make your own path to greatness.   

Make no mistake this business is not easy.  It takes hard work, dedication, and sacrifice, and even with all of that, the chances of success are scarce, but dreams are worth pursuing, and no dream is too big if you never, ever quit.
