Quickie, but goodie
So I got a new job. I am finally out of hell, and getting some guaranteed hours which means steady money. So far, its hectic, but I am happy about it.
The real life is actually getting really exciting. I always look forward to spending time with simply the greatest girl I have ever met. There is never a dull moment.
Wrestling is still going well, with the exception of some douche bags that think they know everything.
When I broke into professional wrestling, it was a privilege to step foot inside a wrestling ring. You had to set up the ring, chairs, entrance ways, guard rails, rip tickets, work the front door, be the dj, ring the bell, take the ring jackets back, take pictures, or any misc. jobs that the promoter, or your trainer had you doing before you would have a chance at working a show. This was something you did because you respected the business and the sport of professional wrestling. Today, people take everything for granted. They think because they are on shows, they do not have to help out. Sure you cannot drag everyone out and make them help out, but it will catch up to them in the end, when a guy who may not be the best worker gets a huge push because he has heart and desire!
I remember setting up dozens of shows before I had my first show. From that point on, I continued to do so because of my respect for each individual show. I still feel that way today. If there isn't someone willing to break their back getting the setting up in order, there wouldn't be a show to work that evening.
Today, there are so many disrespectful idiots who think they are professional wrestlers because they work a couple of shows who because they knew a guy, who knew a guy, who was trained by a pro wrestler decided to "train" them.
What qualifies you as a trainer these days? I have been heavily involved with pro wrestling for 7 years now. Do I feel as though I've learned enough to open my own school to begin teaching, absolutely not! I learn so much, as I go along. I didn't just go out and buy a pair of wrestling boots and boom I'm a wrestler. Why is it that guys who have less than 5 years in, are the guys training these days? Why do they wonder why none of their "students" have any respect for the business. Probably because they weren't trained properly in that department.
I am not claiming to be the poster child for respect here, because I have made my mistakes in the past. I drank from the wrong Kool-aid at one point. However, I learned from my errors and have busted my ass the last 5 years to make up for it.
To sum everything up in a nutshell... I have been out of high school for about 4 years now, (i know some of you have been out of school for a long time). Why do you still act like you are in high school? Grow up and be fucking men!
