I dont see how carry bags and passing water makes a wrestler tougher or better at his craft.

When I first started decking, gettin the captain coffee damn sure didnt make me a better deckhand so I stopped doin that shit

I see it as an ego thing, but I will drop it and agree to disagree on that I guess

Can someone tell Cody that I’m not racist.

As far as I’m concerned, “dues” are paid in the gym, the weight room and most importantly, in the ring. Carrying bags and being a waterboy only serves to inflate the ego of everybody else, and 90% of the top guys (according to Vince) have MASSIVE egos.

Because you’re in a company doing dangerous work where the person performing with you has to trust you. If you aren’t humble enough to listen to experienced people, then they have to assume you’re gonna be dangerous.

This is a way to bond and a way to show that you’ll work to earn the trust of people. If you can do the basics, then you can do other things. But if you’re humble enough to carry bags, then you’re humble enough to learn from other people and be guided to be a good member in that group.

That’s why rites of passage exists. Everybody goes through the a same or similar experience that certifies as a member. In a lot of tribes its to certify your manhood or womanhood. Think about what he is basically being asked to do: they are forcing younger wrestlers to be around the more experienced guys by making them move shit around. Sure not all of the experienced guys are going to take the time to you while you carry bags. But by forcing you to do so, they can increase the chances that somebody will take notice and mentor you.

But hey, he can also go out there and make an ass of himself instead of thinking a little bit harder about the situation he finds himself in.

If showin up to work on time, training your ass off, watchin film, passing drug tests, stayin out of trouble with the law, showing basic respect to others and performing in the ring isnt enough to be considered a rite of passage, i dont see how being some dude’s do-boy is

Because at that point it has tits all with what you think is right. You want into a place, you’re gonna have to maneuver properly.

Every place has culture, learn to deal.

Lol. Christ Big E. :joy::rofl:

Edit: Christ. The pledge of Dream segment was so fucking cringe worthy. Especially with the fans trying to sing along.

Big E trying to say something…

Dude turned down 300k a year

You can be frugal as shit

I mean the shield traveled together until their split. Just because they were used to it and wanted to save up.

Literally they were top guys still bunking.

Lio is a fuccboi who does not know how to save his money

AEW going to want to avoid hiring him. I think lio goes to impact or maybe goes full enzo and releases a mix tape

Boy didn’t do shit on the indies

Of course he didn’t do shit on the indies. He was there for 2 years and WWE picked him up. Lmfao nigga went pro and basically went straight to roh then WWE.(went pro in 2014. Roh in 2015 and WWE in 2017).

Nigga did he fuck your girl or sumtin? You just bein weirdly petty now.

Anyways… This catch wrestling Twitter I follow suggested Kurt angle be gables manager… And I don’t hate it

The should have had The Wyatts + Elias all in 1 stable. That would have been unstoppable!!!

The deal he was offered is 300K over five years. That’s 60K a year. I wouldn’t sign that shit neither.
