Hey, and the reverse is true, too. Pro sports are faked. Wrestlers take drugs.
The pro sports world is NOT a free-for-all with the ‘best’ randomly taking the cake home
depending on whoever is feeling great that day. More factors are involved.
Teams INVEST in riders and events INVEST in teams. They are CONSERVATIVE
about what happens. Coz it’s about $$$$. A random peak is of NO interest to
them, especially if it upsets any PLAN. Upsets are a part of overall strategy, but there’s
a reason why they aren’t common. There are far more do’s, don’ts,
here’s how we do it and taboos in pro sport than you can shake
a stick at. No pro sport is immune. If you are great, then as
you work up thru the SYSTEM you will be GIVEN your chance.
You will WAIT your turn. Exceptions prove the rule. That said, pro wrestling
isn’t as dumb as everyone makes it out to be. It’s INTENTIONAL.
Pro whatevers are ACTORS. They are GROOMED to make any desired
result look its best. You don’t get there from here willynilly. On the way
you learn to walk the walk or you can pack your bags. Does anyone
think that all they want is speed and results? And results for you or who, them maybe?
–That talent is based only on what you SEE? Behind the scenes is a bit more involved than that.
