No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. I keep hearing about this "politics" thing. And I start to wonder about just how much freedom some of our little fraternity should actually have when it comes to the media. The WWE makes strides in keeping crazy people out of the news as best as possible, and for that, they need to be commended.
As far as we all knew, Kurt Angle was a well-adjusted, top notch individual who lived his life by his "Three I's", and dedicated himself to being the best. He leaves our umbrella, and in about 2 months he's chasing black chicks around a Starbucks or something. Somebody smart like
uncaged on the other hand? Kept his nose clean, his mouth shut, and ended up being rehired pretty quickly. There's others of course, because every dick with a no-compete and a grudge thinks they're the next "edgy" and "controversial" interview. No motherfucker, you're not. You're just another gonna be, or never was.
Its easy to figure out who I mean here, but if you're still a little dense. Here's two names. Matt and Jeff Hardy. For what its worth, anybody who's got busted with a meth lab, a garbage bag of hashish, and a half full Diet Sprite in the living room really shouldn't be cutting promos on people. I might think CM Punk's a dick, but I'll tell him that to his face, not to a camera.
Or honestly, look to any ex-employee roster. There's going to be the running theme of "politics" or some shit as to why they couldn't get over, or get belts. Most of it is from people who are the biggest marks for themselves than anybody with a fan-sign. Here's the deal, free of charge. There's politics everywhere. But if you bust your ass, and develop, and keep your head clean, and find some fucking way to get over, then STAY there. Go a little crazy, make up something absolutely stupid to get noticed, get mimicked, and get marketed. Do I play politics? Probably so. But my "politics" keep me working, keep me featured, and keep my wife in designer. If I took the high road, and played fair? Well, pays to see the good guy.
Moral of the story kids? No matter how pissed you are, or who's done you however, tell Highspots to go fuck. Your career will be better for it.
There. That was easy, right? And not a single mention of that snuff-dipper who stole my belt, right?
