I only trained for a few months before hurting myself and coming to realization that even if I could work a match, actually doing it at the pace and level expected was probably a little beyond me since I started so late.

But, I still love it and I have ENDLESS respect for the men and women who put their bodies on the line – sometimes DAILY for the entertainment of the fans.

The feeling of getting that feedback, cheers or boos, and knowing you just beat yourself up for that reaction is indescribable. I’m not sure anyone who hasn’t done it, even in training, would understand WHY anyone would do it.
