    Actually a good take on slowing everything down and looking at every single detail that you can. There is actually a special method in psychology that helps you to develop and build your confidence. The key is that if you have an argument with someone, you need to take time and notice every single detail on your opponent: how does he look, what is he wearing and so on. After that you realise that your opponent is only a human just like you and that should bring you confidence.
    During a wrestling match, the crowd is basically your opponent because you need to convince them in what you are doing. And that little trick can help you
    Now I understand why Swerve has that much confidence

  • @DannySvnday
    @DannySvnday Před 6 měsíci +36

    It’s wild to hear Swerve in so many interviews give credit to where/who he learned these advanced aspects of pro wrestling and it’s the best of the best HBK and now dropping that he picked stuff from Orton. This is what happens when you’re willing to learn and apply yourself. Then you can add your own bits and pass that knowledge on. Guys who don’t want to listen to the ones that came before won’t make it too far. I feel like if AEW doesn’t play their cards right this will be another star that leaves and goes to WWE. Swerve is going to be a big marquee star, wherever he goes.

    I didn't know much about Swerve prior to him coming to AEW. However, he quickly became one of my favorites. He has charisma for days and everything he does in the ring looks so real, from the actual moves, selling, and ring psychology.
    He is a star.

  • @DoneRandomLee
    @DoneRandomLee Před 6 měsíci +26

    At times it feels like nana maybe over doing it and taking the spotlight but then I just thought "he is so confident in his team that he can do that." And it helped enhance them. Because for other wrestlers nana would be beaten up for doing things like that but he knows he has swerve, cage, and gates of agony protecting him so he is able to be annoying and have fun. Because who is going to stop him? Good luck getting to him to stop him from dancing. He planted himself in the middle with cage Infront, gates of agony on each side and swerve behind him as the Mafia boss.
