Ty! But heres the deal, if your a kid and you have the dreams of one day breaking in to our sport awesome! Dont ever stop dreaming! But yall need something that is way more important than wrestling, u need an education! Strive and set goals to succeed in your studies and schooling and get that education first, then set ur sights on whatever you choose to do! If its wrestling, its not easy as most of you think! It takes hard work and then harder work to even get a look! To me you have to show me you have passion like no other. Attitude, respect, keeping ur mouth shut and learning each day something new and always striving to be the next cm punk or john cena or stone cold, sting etc. you will fall down time and time again but if you keep getting up, keep coming back and licking your wounds and never quit, then maybe just maybe you will get your shot! Its not glamourous but if you love it like i do and so many others do then you will rise with the few! So never ever stop believing in yourself and your dreams! Say no to drugs and alcohol and get your a**** an education! YOU are the future!”
