    Decide where you can wrestle. (Ex: backyard, barn, or wrestling ring) You can (for the beginning) wrestle on a trampoline or something and record them. Put them on a DVD and sell them for a price(not too high, but high enough for you to make a steady profit)ex 5$. Also, sell tickets to those interested to watch your matches and charge a sum of about 2$-5$. A commercial wrestling ring costs $2000-$5000.

    You would want to change the audio enough for it to not be completely copied. You can get in major trouble if you just use someone else's music without permission.
