10 Best Career Making Pieces Of Advice In WWE History

Little nuggets of encouragement that elevated wrestlers to dizzy heights.

Wwe Yellow Listen to any major star who has carved a living for themselves in the wrestling world, male or female, and they will gladly tell anyone with ears that they need to start using them. The very definition of the word 'advice' is, 'guidance or recommendations concerning prudent future action, typically given by someone regarded as knowledgeable or authoritative'. There are 2 key elements to that meaning, most notably the fact that it concerns what is coming in the future, along with the fact it is delivered by somebody who has past experience, or the best intentions for the recipient. Often, the best advice comes from people who have someone's well-being at heart, and thus don't want them to fall into a trap they perhaps did, or see something they could improve on to make the best of what they have. Probably one of the best examples of this would come from 'The Kliq', the group of guys who pretty much called the shots in the WWF locker room of the mid-90's. Armed with their motto, 'you can make friends in this business, or you can make money', the likes of Kevin Nash and Shawn Michaels directly influenced guys like Triple H and Sean Waltman. Numerous other top names in the world of professional wrestling can never claim to have simply been born to do what they do. There is some degree of natural ability, of course, but by and large, it takes a lot of soul-searching, not to mention a lot of help from people around them, for someone to become a top, money-making star. This list takes into account some of the absolute best advice ever given to some of wrestling's top names, helping them create characters and a persona which could feasibly live in the minds of fans forever.
