The crowd doesn't give a crap as long as you bring the money in.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I gotta admit, when you've been doing this a long time, going out to the audience and asking for them to help out with crowdfunding, it's a gut check. You never know how that's gonna turn out. Luckily for us, it turned out well.
In my era of wrestling, there were no guaranteed contracts, so it was inherent that you draw the crowd in to make money.
If you throw money around like confetti, it just becomes shallow and meaningless.
You don't know what a rough crowd is. If all I have to do is go make people laugh, that's nothing. Let me tell you what a tough crowd is. A tough crowd is going to a morning service and you got six people there and you gotta pat your house payment. That's a tough crowd.
It's not always about the money.
You know you're on stage being the life of the party and trying to get laughs, and then, in a lot of ways, you don't have anything to give once you give it to the people.
Every time I've done a fund raiser, I've been blown away by the amount of money and the generosity that our fans have.
If people are going to give, they're going to give. And it doesn't matter if you give a dollar or five dollars or a hundred dollars or a million dollars; it's all according to your ability.
If I'm paying money to come to see you, you shouldn't look like everybody else in the crowd.
It is not about money. It is about how you treat the player.
