Let me identify a few key characteristics of an elite wrestler that connects with every hard working individual in this country. Look past gender, age and even athletic ability.
Allow me to make this article a little more personal. For all you mothers out there, what is important to you and why? I am going out on a limb and guessing a few of the qualities would include being a great role model, teacher, and nurturer. It is because you want to be the best mother. You want nothing more then to provide and love your child so that they can excel in life. And that is how it should be.
Just as one should look past gender, so too should they look past age. To those of you who are in your 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s, and who have possibly never played a sport in your life, what is your passion? Is it your current occupation? What about golf, hunting, puzzles, chess? How about Texas hold’em? Now I can visualize some head nods and confirming grins. It is not about what you do, it is about how passionately you do it.
Perhaps those who are retired or who have more personal freedom can identify more with what Real Pro Wrestling is all about. Not many people get to pick their passion. Most individuals explore life through the kaleidoscope of maintaining. Maintaining that household income. Maintaining the routine workday. Maintaining our everyday lives. It may not be until we can actually thrive in our hobby, our desire, that we are able to effortless love what we do.
Real Pro Wrestling is that passion for everyone involved. Specifically, for those who thought of the concept and equally important those who step out onto the mat and wrestle for the absolute love of the sport. Some of the wrestlers have been competing for nearly 30 years. Why? Well, I will begin by telling you why not.
Wrestlers do not compete for money. We never have because it is not a money generating sport. Hopefully one day it will be, but for now money is not a reason. We compete because it is our passion!
We compete for the same reasons all you mothers excel at being a mom. For all the same reasons your hobbies are timeless. You discipline and dedicate yourselves and your lifestyles to create the best possible outcome.
That is why anyone can identify with RealProWrestling. You are witnessing pure athletes uncorrupted by the almighty dollar pursuing a dream. And in that pursuit many personal gains and values are made along the way.
But that is another article.
