    That's why the 80s and 90s wrestling was so good. Wrestlers helped each other when a push came and they showed their respect by helping their opponent down the road. Things are so different today.

    this is some of the info I wish I knew when I was watching as a kid. Respect for one another as athletic performers and co-workers.

Jobbers and heels deserved more than they were given.

    You can go to many just plain ole regular type jobs their can be a fight. I'm sure with Pro-Wrestling where one guy wrestles rough or injures purposely it could get heated. Just like in straight Jiu-Jitsu tournaments it can get heated especially when a guy just straight out cheats I.e. eye poke etc.

    On his podcast Jim Ross claims that the short scuffle started over Ric Flair's comments made in his book referring to Mick Foley as just a "glorified stuntman." Mick went to Vince voicing his opinion insisting that WWE give superstars an early copy of books that have statements made about them before release. Flair seen it as him trying to create heat so Flair swung at Mick.

    Brett Hart could have used this information, Shawn too but Brett was running around telling anyone that would listen that he never actually lost the belt after the Monteal Screwjob. He never really won it, the outcome and punches/kicks are the only thing that fake when it comes to wrestling. The guys that refuse to lose to certain people/pull creative control take themselves too seriously and are usually bad for business. Definitely bad for locker room morale having a guy that thinks he's better than everyone else because he is winning predetermined matches. Omega is a good example of a guy that is great on the ring but stays level headed and has no problem doing a job. I know he probably doesn't have much choice but he always seems level headed and happy to do it. Could be wrong of course, some of these guys are good actors.

    • @BCTTV_DTJ
      @BCTTV_DTJ Před 6 lety

      Bret Hart took the business seriously but was considered one of the boys unlike Shawn and the only guy he ever refused to put over was Shawn because Shawn told Bret he would never put him over. Bret did put Shawn over before that. Guys keep tabs on that for a reason. There have been lots of guys who have refused to put guys over because it would have hurt their "brand". Steve Austin tells a story of working with Sting and Ricky Steamboat for months, losing to them every night but it was cool because he was working with top guys. Then one day the bosses came to him and said he was gonna put over some nobody that they were giving a push too. He refused. Why? Because perception is 95% of reality. It doesn't matter if it's fake. If he loses to this nobody, then he'll be typecast basically as a stepping stone or a jobber as everyone likes to say by either the fans or the people inside the business. It's hard to break out of that once you're in it. Guys like Al Snow are proof of that, He had a nice run with the head gimmick but he's remembered as an average mid-card at best talent and he was really good!! BTW, Bret told Vince he'd drop the belt to the Brooklyn Brawler in MSG but not Shawn because Shawn disrespected him. I don't think he took it as serious as people think.

    I can respect the old school mentality, but I wouldn't agree with it. If McMahon is putting the storyline in my favor and you're told to lose, that now is your job to do. He is already paying you, why should you get a double payday? Kinda ludicrous in my opinion.

      SFFL 1996 The idea is that the winner gets over and thus makes more money, but in order to get over he needs to have a good match. The guy who does the job doesn't get to sell more merchandise and get on the Fruity Pebbles box, so it's a matter of showing appreciation for the help.
      If the product you sell is wrestling, it just makes sense to make it the best possible product and then divide up the profit among those who contributed, right?
      If you're just getting paid to lose rather than put the winner over, might as well kick Daniel Bryan's head off in 18 seconds in every match. One guy does the job and nobody wins.

      This is back in the day before the big money and guaranteed contracts came in. Plus Heels have merchamdise now.

      I know right? The last time I saw him was back in the attitude era. Looks like he's jacked up. Old wrestlers usually bulk up and become brawlers, it's the only way for them to stay on top. Jericho is the exception, he's in his 40's and he's still doing back flips off the ropes! lol

      I've noticed some wrestlers look much healthier when they get off the road full time.

      Travis williams He definitely looks healthier spiritually. The old interviews of him show him with a permanent frown. lol.

      Shoot. You should see Adrian Street now. He looks like a power lifter now and he's seventy if he's a day.

    Why does Al look like he's been caught and is being interrogated in every video he's in?
