This part is from a wrestling book about crazy road trips and stuff that have happened while the wrestlers were traveling, and in the end wrestler Randy Orton talks about WWE (these words are straight from the book and I wrote this by hand from the book):
"When I was coming up along with John Cena and Brock Lesnar, we all had our mentors. I was lucky because Triple H signed me out. I'll never forget, one day he saw me practicing in the ring. I was locked in a figure-four, and the cameras weren't on, but it was the way I was selling the move that he really liked. From what he saw, I was selling the figure-four the way it should be done. So after I got out of the ring, he pulled me aside and told me he'd been watching me and that he wanted to start this group and he'd get back to me on it. Eventually that group became Evolution. So I got to ride with Ric Flair and ride with Triple H, and I learned so much from these guys. At first Batista wasn't in, and it was just me, Ric, and Hunter, and we had so much fun in New York City, riding around in limos and flying around in helicopters in order to shoot the video package for our entrance. And I really got the chance to bond with these guys, and they told me things inside the ring, outside the ring, how to act, how to be a locker room leader. Eventually, one day I knew that it would be my turn to take somebody under my wing. That's the way it goes. Every so often a new wave of guys comes in, and that time is now. I used to be the young guy, but now I see these younger guys coming in who are four to eight years younger than I am already.
When I look at guys like Cody and Ted and Kofi Kingston--who is my opponent--I'm in a position to help make these guys. Then eventually, they'll be in that position as well. It's a learning process. Being successful in this business takes time. Unless you're a golden boy or a Brock Lesnar or someone who can just be thrown right into the mix right away, you have to work at it. It's a building process. And it's not something that just takes a couple of years. It took me a good five to six years before people started believing in me, and there are so many aspects to that: coming up with a finishing move, have a move set that people recognize, having a character that you believe in and are confident in, so that when you walk that curtain and walk onto that stage, those fans watching you know by the look in your eyes that you mean business. They know that they can believe in this character. That's really what you need to do... find a character you can have confidence in. When a new guy walks to the ring, you can sense that nervous energy. He doesen't know what to do, so he's looking around, and you can tell he's not confident in himself. And when a wrestler isn't confident in himself, it's hard for him to get over because the fans can sense that. Right away they'll crap on that because it's no good. They're not paying for that. They're paying to have reality suspended. They want to believe in something. They want us to put on a show that they can get wrapped up into and lost in. They want to believe.
That's where a lot of these critics come in and call wrestling fake. To me, that's the most disrespectful thing anyone can say. I've seen Hunter tear both quads, his groin, and get his throat crushed. I've had two shoulder surgeries, a broken foot, a nasty dislocation, broken digits, jaw problems, a broken collarbone, concussions... and that's average. Guys have had neck surgeries and broken arms, lots of knee problems and back issues. So to call this fake, that's like a slap in the face. We love what we do. It's not like your normal nine-to-five in some office where you dream of working somewhere else. We get to travel and see the world. And sure, it's tough sometimes, but we love what we do. And the guys who love what they do and who have the hearts for it, they're the ones who are able to channel those passions. A lot of times lately, there are guys coming up who are second and third generation. These guys who were born into the business. and they have that respect. There are all kinds of ex-football players and ex-Olympians in training camp now, but when they come up, we call them the Tin Men because they don't have hearts. That's a nasty little moniker that they're been given, but it's true. You have to know this world. And you have to want to protect it and know who's best for it. Guys with big heads and egos come in, and they don't know any better, but their carrer is over just like that, and they never understand. But you have to do what's right to make each other look good. You have to do what's best for the business.
Ted and Cody, Kofi Kingston, Harry Smith, Tyson Kidd, and Nattie Neidhart... people like that who come up, they have heart. Mike Rotynda's two buys who are training, Taylor and Windham, they have the heart. They are training in FCW right now, but they are about to become part of that cycle where the young and hungry come up with all that potential and all that talent, and it's up to guys like me, guys like Hunter and John Cena and guys who have been part of this cycle, to step in and help these young guys out. And eventually there's another wave and another wave. That's just how sports entertainment thrives. And a lot of those lessons that need to be taught, they're not learned inside the ring. They're learned on the road." ~Randy Orton |

| It's fake and it's always been fake, some of the hits are real but all of the rope jumps never hit the person, they hit the mat. |

k, Here it is:
Wwe isnt completely fake, Although most of it is scripted, accidents happen. And WWE pays the Wrestlers to publish these kinds of things under their name. The blood you see during the matches is real, they take a simple razor, cut the vain, heals in 2 days. But, some people have missed the vain and end up getting stitches after the match |

Dubya, I haven't seen blood in WWE in a long while, which is disappointing. It's scripted, the moves take skill, and the impacts are all hard and actually hurt.
The stories are not real, but the physical impacts and such are.
I'd like to see you do a 450 Splash from about 10 feet up in the air. |
