Wrestlers are a little more dedicated than, and are different from, the other people, which may be strange.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Wrestlers give their bodies to their work. I don't know if I like the word 'crazy' here. What I would say is there are people who have a different relationship to their bodies than most people.
You know a lot of times wrestlers get too full of themselves. They can't separate themselves from the characters. They get used to the excitement, the energy, the lifestyle and the money and with a lot of these guys, when it stops, they self-destruct.
These wrestlers aren't organized. They have no union, no pension and no insurance. You meet wrestler after wrestler who sold out Madison Square Garden ten years ago, basically running on fumes today. There's a lot of drama there.
Once you start talking to people, you find out there's a lot more wrestling fans than you think there are.
Being a wrestler is like walking on the treadmill of life. You get off it and it just keeps going.
In Hollywood, there really is a stigma against wrestling. I think that's why people think wrestlers are Neanderthals who can't string two words together.
We, as a wrestling community, better remember it is more than one individual that makes a winner.
The cutthroat part of it is that professional wrestling has no union. There are a number of people that are taken advantage of on a daily basis.
This whole wrestling world is a different breed, there's no doubt.
Wrestlers are a bunch of wanna-be football players.
