Wrestling with Writing
Just read an interesting comment from wrestling veteran Larry Matysik. He noted that the chances of success in the wrestling biz are bloody slim, even for the talented and the determined, but it can happen. But the goal is the performance. Losing sight of this fact is understandable, but bad news.
"With all this being said, once a wrestler finally gets a break, learns to center himself, realizes he has to watch his money, and accept that the mechanics and the politics of the business are seldom fair or democratic, he can concentrate on the FUN part - telling great stories and making the thrilling matches that excite the fans."
Sound like any other business you know, brudder? I've heard similar comments from musicians and writers. So here's to our cooky profession of passion and sometimes little payoff. Shakespeare had it right, the play is the thing. Time to crank out some great stories and thrilling tales to wrestle me up some fans!
Wooo!
