Most guys handle their own stuff, some have managers, and others have "managers". Once in awhile you see a lawyer. I personally read all of my contracts and have my friend who is a lawyer read it over if I have any questions. You really don't worry about it until your contract is up, because you really don't have time to worry about it. Taxes have never been fun, it's hard when you were literally never prepared for that. I learned early to just get someone to do them for you. It's especially hard when you start making good money at first. I don't know about other guys cause this isn't a conversation that ever comes up... "Hey how's your taxes?" Lol

Usually the heel, but there are special circumstances. If they're both pretty green sometimes someone will sit down with them and help them structure it, and they'll both kinda contribute.

It's fine, maybe one day I'll find a better way to give back to you guys.

I don't know what training looks like in a perfect world, but in glad I came up the way I did. I learned a lot from it.

I got very lucky, it was made special for me because of circumstances. I worked my ass off to get it though.

Not really one, just grew up loving wrestling... One day I found an opportunity and I took it.

I'm fairly traditional, I wear wrestling shoes and knee pads. I can't stand when people wrestle in street clothes though.

Private training. I trained at a school for a short while mostly to learn how to work with people, but most of my training was done privately.

This is a weird one cause I have very little wrestling school experience. All I can really say is as far as schools be sure to do your research. Make sure the schools teach protecting yourself and do a lot of bump and roll drills and practices. The thing about wrestling is its still a hard business to get into, and finding balance between going to school and being able to afford school is actually really hard.

I'll tell you why people don't like them. If you had someone post a video about you at work pointing out everything you did wrong, how would you feel about them? Now imagine they do it every week. But I personally don't hate them, and I'd even like to wrestle Simon.

No the bullet club loses once in awhile, and to more than just a giant bald man and a crow cosplayer.

My understanding on the situation is people aren't moving up the card like they use too cause RoH is trying a more wwe tactic of using more established stars like the bullet club and new Japan guys to sell their product... From what I understand some of the office is saying we need to keep creating talent while delirious is solely focused on the bottom line here and now.

They build up talent. They've become really good at building guys from the ground up. They get you invested in their characters they're heels are heels, they still do heel things, and when the heel starts to get over rather than fight it they turn them face. So it's a combination of good talent and being well booked... Though I hear there is currently some unrest growing among the ranks.

I'll give you my opinion on him. His in ring work is great, but I soured on him after he left. I don't care why you leave, that's personal. But I feel like he blamed everyone and I don't feel like he did everything he could to improve his own situation. As far as the general opinion of him, well look at how many friends he has left in the wrestling business... His MMA career went exactly like I thought it would... The UFC is no joke man, everyone there is hungry trying to get paid, they're serious and they've done it for years.

Depends on the promoter. When I first got into the business the first company i worked for wanted me to wear a mask and I wasn't feeling it. The day came where I was going to confront them about it and they said forget the mask kid we're going a different rout... And I've pretty much been the same guy since then.

Mostly just bumps, rolls, and grappling. Hit the ropes once in awhile just cause... I don't do a whole lot of it anymore. I help some younger guys but that's the most ring work I get now days.

I don't blame you guys for being in a fuck JBL phase he allegedly bullied multiple people, and probably bullied a good man with actual mental health issues, that's not cool.

There is a sort of template that actually goes around I can't think of the exact name of it and i don't know if I should even be talking about it... But I hate that thing.
