Wrestler Registration

"Because someone has to do it... for some reason"

🚨 REALITY CHECK 🚨

You're about to register to wrestle alligators. Not metaphorical alligators. Not robot alligators. REAL, LIVING ALLIGATORS with teeth, muscles, and millions of years of evolutionary advantage. Before you proceed, we need to ask: Are you absolutely sure about this?

This isn't a joke. This isn't a team-building exercise. This is a dangerous sport that regularly results in injury. People lose fingers. People get hospitalized. People develop a healthy fear of reptiles. If you're having doubts, that's your survival instinct working correctly. Listen to it.

📋 Registration Requirements

Before you can register, you must meet the following requirements:

Age: Must be at least 18 years old (we're not wrestling minors with gators)
Physical Health: Must pass a basic physical fitness assessment
Mental Health: Must acknowledge this decision is questionable at best
Liability Waiver: Must sign our comprehensive waiver (it's 12 pages for a reason)
Insurance: Must have active health insurance (you'll need it)
Emergency Contact: Must provide contact info for someone to call when things go wrong
Training: Must complete mandatory safety orientation (attendance required, comprehension optional)
Equipment: Must wear approved safety gear (it won't save you, but insurance requires it)

Training Requirements:

All new wrestlers must complete our 4-week training program before competing. This includes gator behavior education, safety protocols, escape techniques, and accepting that the gator will probably win. Training sessions are held Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Bring your own bandages.
