You’re never too old to learn. You can teach and old dog new tricks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have all heard it a million times. But honestly, it still holds true. You can always learn something new. No matter how good you are at what you do – there’s always more to learn.
Last weekend, I learned a lot. Maybe not things that I hadn’t already seen or done before. But I stepped in the ring with an open mind and an interest to learn and I took away a lot. I took away things that will certainly help me in the future and make me better in the ring. I have some new tools to add to my belt and I plan on displaying them very soon.
Anyone who knows me, they know I hate to workout in the ring. HATE it. I love to train my body with weights but hate to take unnecessary wrestling bumps. Last week, I made a call to a highly unlikely candidate to help me hone up on my wrestling skills. He was as shocked as anyone that I had actually called upon him to teach me a few new “tricks”.
If you follow me on Twitter, you already know who I’m speaking of. A guy that I’ve burned over and over again on this blog. Mainly the burning of his booking skills (or lack thereof) and his appearance physically. But one thing I’ve never questioned was his in-ring work. He’s definitely a student of the game. Almost the point that he’s a wrestling nerd, in my opinion. (more…)
