We cheer for the hero
Cheap NFL Jerseys
Wholesale , we boo for the Heel. But what keeps us from getting
over our lights punched out by a 430 pound monster that you just an a$#ole. Or
lets say you are the 430 pound Fat or Slob and what about the heel that is
booed? Does he take it personal? Does it bother him?
Wrestling psychology
is very completed. It is also very simple and basic to learn best yet you dont
need hours of classes and tests. It all revolves around Selling. Perhaps the
most important term used in the business. Selling as it is called means making
the people believe what you are doing. So if you are a heel, the more heat
(crowd anger) you draw the show they receive and the more you are remembered. If
youre a heel you want to be the most hated person in the building. That after
all is your job. If you are a hero or Face as it is called you want everyone to
love you. Giving high fives, autographs, pose for pictures or whatever makes
them happy. Either way remember plus or negative it is your character not you
personally. Use it to feel your momentum and develop your identity. Keeping
KayFabe in practice or like a magician not revealing the secret to his illusion
is important to the show. Okay it is easy to deal with everyone loving you, if
youre a cuddly

snuggly, puppy. If youre a Siberian Bull and just killed an American you dont
want to be loved in America or anywhere but home.
The first thing that
you need to ask yourself is can I separate my character from Reality? For me it
was easy behind a mask. No one knew the man behind the mask so anything I did
was a Destroyer or Flag that did everything was them not me. Without a mask its
a bit more challenging as people see you and think that you are your gimmick in
and out of the ring. My experience with others in the business is they act
different in and out of the ring. Often we were not allowed to mingle with crowd
until after the entire show was over.
Being hated however can be rough,
hearing put downs and boos can make anyone feel hurt or but as I said turn it
into heat and it will ultimately make a better show. Learning to not take it
personally helps. Also wear it as a badge of honor. Of its drawing heat then
youre doing your job and bask in the glory. Making a memorable appearance is
what keeps you coming back and getting more bookings.
In some cases it is
necessary to block out the crowd as you can and focus on the job at hand putting
on a good show. One VERY critical piece of information and advice NEVER put your
hands on a person in the crowd. However if its arranged, scripted and part of
the show than go for it. Assaulting anyone who is not on payroll is a lawsuit
and arrest would be a good thing and would kill your federation so doesnt do it.
Get in their face and get worked up. Threaten and draw heat but NEVER act on it
EVER.
With that said moving on to the hero. Its great to take pictures,
sign autographs and give tips and advice to aspiring future generations but make
sure that there is a line. We tend not to think of negative or extreme negative
but our world has changed unfortunately there are stories of fans and stalkers.
Its best to set limits and stick to them for your safety and that of others. Ok
that was my McGruff the Crime Dog speech. Sorry my soap box or Podium wont go
away it is a useful tool and accepted as such. At least no one has said it has
to go. YET
I had an opportunity to stop out from behind the mask this
past Friday
Cheap NFL Jerseys , April
24, 2009. This was my second appearance without wearing a mask. This wasnt
wrestling although one of the guest referees was a pro wrestler Haystacks Ross.
It began as a request to do writing. My very first wrestling promoter was
getting together a show call GLADIATOR BALL. It had Haystacks Ross and celebrity
Muhammed Ali Jr. It included 3 Gladiators from NBC TV American Gladiators,
Venom, Mayhem and Fury.
My involvement began doing my new found passion
writing. There was to be some scripted skits along with the 10 Dodge ball games.
The first challenge was to keep it a Family Show and not offend anyone but give
laughs and entertainment to the audience. I meet for the next few weeks over the
phone, email and in person. It was great working with Don McNeil again. I see
him as a mentor. He helped me more then wrestling and helped develop my writing
skills. We co created a few things and on skit I wrote myself with his feedback.
The week before the show I received a call. I wrote a piece about Muhammed Ali
Jr having eye trouble and needed an Eye Dr coming to his aid. Don called and
said he put my idea in but needed someone to portray the doctor and asking if I
would play the doctor and I said I would love to.
It was my second time
performing without a mask. 10 yrs ago it was Jerry Springer. This time for some
reason I was more comfortable and relaxed. I was Dr George (the original). I
came out did my thing and felt good. The experience was awesome. Don said this
gives you something to write about in your column. It did as it fit well with my
topic of the week giving me an illustration of how things are done or can be
done.
I also to specially thank Beth Venom for her training and diet
advice and meeting her has inspired and motivated me. I guess I am like Bat Mass
enemy Bane. I am Venom powered now!!
There is the fearing the Undertaker
or the Black Magic of BoggyMan or Papa Shango. Have you ever watched Hulk Hogan
prepare to walk thru the curtain? He performs the sign of the cross
Cheap
Jerseys Wholesale , and other wrestlers used other symbols.
Hillbilly Jim use to carry a horseshow on a chain. Are these parts of the
gimmick or a part of the psychology or both? Myself I use the sign of
CrossPrayer as a chance to clear my mind and focus on the task at hand. It has
become an instinct and most of the time I dont realize I do it. At least I
havent noticed not doing it. There is not Knowing that preparat.
