It's not about backstabbing. It's not about kissing ass. It's not about pulling a hot stunt and getting momentary publicity.
It's about creating your own opportunity (like @SteveAustinBSR did with "Stone Cold") and working harder than every1 else looking ...
... for the big break, the next chance, the golden opportunity.
This isn't a pep talk. It's the lay of the land as I see it in today's sports entertainment industry.
I would have written a blog, but who knows if anyone will click on the link?
And while this may be a "stream of consciousness" diatribe, it's a message to those who may be getting frustrated ...
... a message to those who may be wondering "will I ever get that chance? that break? that opportunity?"
DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME TO YOU! RELY ON YOURSELF!!!
Do you think @SteveAustinBSR relied on anyone? Did HHH? Did @TheRock? Did Hulk Hogan? Did @CMpunk?
With great humility, I ask you, did I? F*** NO. If there was no opportunity, I created my own, pushed my way in ...
... manipulated the circumstances to beg, borrow, plead, blackmail, bribe, cajole, threaten, bulls*** and/or manufacture ...
All I wanted was a mic in my hand and a time frame in which I had to deliver my message. I knew I would score.
I've seen it in this business for ages.
I saw @ShawnMichaels go from tag team wrestler to greatest all around in-ring performer ever. Think it was easy for him?
I remember when Shawn and Marty were blackballed in the business, and could only work in Ala-f***in-bama.
Think it didn't take @ShawnMichaels everything "and then some" to break out of The Rockers and get a chance as "HBK"?
AMBITION. ASSERTIVENESS ... and the ABILITY TO BACK IT UP is what it takes to create the next generation of main eventers.
The talent is there. The opportunity has never been more widespread. The need for new main eventers is readily apparent.
"DOCILE" and "COMPLACENT" and "HUMBLE TO A FAULT" won't cut it.
While a dose of humility is always needed, that "main event confidence" is just as important.
And it's time for the next group of superstars to stake their claim and create their own generation for others to follow.
Period. Excla-f***in-mation point. The lecture is over. Pontification has ended. Hope I've been of help 2 ANYONE who follows this acct.
... and maybe even to someone who doesn't!
We now return to our regularly scheduled nonsense, #HustleBootyTempTats, and shameless @HeymanHustle website links!
