Help Austin Chase His Wrestling Dream

Help Me Chase My Dream of Becoming a Pro Wrestler

Hi, my name is Austin Johnson (Ace King), and I’m a passionate professional wrestler from central Indiana with one goal: to make it to the big leagues and inspire others through the art of wrestling.

Wrestling isn’t just a sport to me—it’s my calling. With years of athletic experience from varsity football to countless hours in the gym and the ring, I’ve poured everything I have into building a foundation. I’ve wrestled on the independent scene, trained hard, and proven to myself that this dream is real. Now, I’m ready to take the next step—and I need your help.

I’m wanting to join either two of the most prestigious wrestling schools in the country: Cody Rhodes’s Nightmare Factory and Seth Rollins’s Black and Brave Wrestling Academy. Both programs are led by top-tier talent who’ve made it to the highest level of the industry. Attending one of these schools would give me the advanced training, exposure, and connections I need to break through.

But like many aspiring wrestlers, the cost is a heavy burden. Tuition, travel, lodging, and time away from work quickly add up. I’m working every day to fund this dream, but I can’t do it alone.

That’s why I’ve created this GoFundMe. Every donation—no matter how small—brings me one step closer to walking through those doors and learning from the very best. Your support would not only help me train with champions, but also show that belief and community still make dreams possible.

I’m not just chasing fame—I’m chasing purpose. I want to inspire the next generation, give back to the sport that saved me, and prove that no matter where you start, you can rise.

Thank you for believing in me. Let’s make history—together.

With gratitude,

Austin “Ace King” Johnson
