11 Things We Learnt From 'Being The Elite' So Far
5. They Love Their Wrestling
It might not seem it at times, but the Elite love their wrestling. Indulging in 'wrestle-talk' and wrestling-related banter, they come off as a few down-to-earth guys any wrestling fan would enjoy the company of. Be it in Matt's desires to reach Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior WrestleMania 10 levels of fake tan or their colloquialisms in regular conversation, they are fans before anything.
It's clear where their studies and love for the history, iconography and popular culture of the sport have influenced their style. Nick thanks their "Forefathers of tassle, the Rockers", for inspiring their love of fringing their own gear - Their ring gear and merchandise hugely reflect this passion and character. They've re-envisaged the NWO stable and made it popular in a modern context. Despite taking jabs at the Kliq, they obviously have a great deal of appreciation for their influence.
They live and breathe wrestling, and have done nothing but give back to the industry. They have made an impact in the modern era, and are carving the way for the future generation of wrestlers.
