Two days ago, I laid my father to rest. Last night, I had what I consider one of the best matches of my career.
I’m not normally an emotional guy, but I’m just thankful for professional wrestling, and for all y’all that kept me going the last few weeks.

Whoever this indie guy is sounds like a tool.
An indie wrestler making tik toks talking about indie vs professional wrestling looking down on WHAT HE HIMSELF IS an indie wrestler. What type of strategy is that?

Thank your opponent.

Thank the camera crew.

The “hot tag” isn’t an invitation for chaos. Rules still apply after the hot tag. If you can’t work a finish without burying the ref, then you need to go back to the drawing board. And refs, stop allowing yourselves to be buried. Your job is to enforce the rules, so do it.

Some people say we shouldn’t use the term “marks” anymore because it’s an old regime term and times have changed in wrestling.
Sounds an awful lot like something a mark would say if you ask me.

Been seeing a lot of talk about punches vs forearms in wrestling lately. For fun, here’s an early video I did on the subject.
It was also the first video that kinda blew up for me and got me a decent amount of heat from other workers. So that’s cool. Enjoy.

I once attended a show I wasn’t booked on just to hang out. There were 9 matches and 7 of them had some variation of a double-stomp. Fans popped for none of them. Pay attention to the matches that come before you. Fans don’t want to see the same moves every match.

You could main event 10 WrestleManias in a row and someone who’s never stepped in a ring will tell you you’re not any good because you didn’t main event 11 in a row.
You can’t win with people who continuously push the goal post back, so don’t wrestle trying to impress haters.

Never underestimate the importance of being a team player. If a company asks you to put someone over strong, do it to the best of your ability. I got squashed in my TV debut for a company. 6 months later I was their champion. Promoters notice your attitude.

I hold 11 belts. You should be impressed by that.
Granted, 7 of those companies only run a couple shows a year, 3 of those companies are now defunct (I kept the belts), and the one remaining is a company you’ve never heard of, but by God, I’m still the “Belt Collector!”

Every successful wrestler has at least 10 stories of times they thought their big break was coming and it didn’t happen. I understand how demoralizing it can be, but maybe the 11th time is when it finally does.

If y’all are too good to wrestle for free and too good to wrestle in a ring just because it’s being supported by a log then I guess y’all just don’t love the business as much as I do.

No wrestlers are braver than the ones that make Facebook posts where they tag 100 other wrestlers that have nothing to do with what the post is about.

Random 1am thought. The old Royal Rumble posters are still the best wrestling posters ever. Any company who does a Rumble-style event should rip this poster off. It’s literally perfect.

My wife is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I truly love that woman with everything in me.
But I’ve also caught a t-shirt from a t-shirt cannon before and that’s gotta be a close second.

General tip for workers when it comes to merch: have a variety of items/colors. Stickers have been a hot item for me, and I’ve had people buy my red shirt simply because they have too many black shirts already. Initial investment may be high but it pays off in the end.

Some wrestling fans believe that independent wrestlers don’t know what we’re talking about if we’ve never been signed to a major company. Some of the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever met in wrestling are people that, by their standards, have never “made it.”

If you’re working at a new company, in front of new fans, don’t go into it with the mindset of “I’m the heel” or “I’m the babyface.” Let the fans decide what you are and react accordingly.

I wish I could remember who said it so I can credit them, but a few years ago, a wrestler tweeted this:
“No one is sleeping on you, you’re just f***ing boring.”
I think about that tweet all the time.

Wrestlers, you’ll never go anywhere if you stay in one spot. Sounds obvious, but there’s a lot of people that don’t understand it. I wish someone had given me this advice 15 years ago.

The 5 seconds Sami waited to deliver the final kick was the best spot on Night 1. Everyone knew what the outcome was going to be, everyone knew what was coming, but because he didn’t rush and let the emotions sink in for everyone, it was spot of the night. Brilliant storytelling.

I know some like to look back at mid-90s WWF and make fun of the occupational gimmicks, but can we all just take a moment to appreciate how perfect the name Irwin R. Schyster was for that gimmick?
