5. The WWE Schedule Is No Longer Worth It

The WWE full-time schedule is as gruelling as it gets in the performance world. The men and women are away from home on an almost constant basis, travelling from city to city and staying in hotel after hotel all in the name of destroying their bodies for the entertainment of fans worldwide. It is this dedication to the craft that is often overlooked by those who throw shade at professional wrestling.

For years, nay, decades wrestlers would plough this route without complaint, masking their problems and issues with a mixture of illicit substances and denial. It is quite clear that these days are done. Social media and the internet have changed much of this, as the wrestlers themselves now have more platforms from which to interact and total encouragement to do so.

What this means is that those in the WWE bubble are no longer trapped within it. Twitter keeps wrestlers in tune with the outside world, and opens more up to the realisation that there is more to life than a seemingly never-ending slog across the United States of America. The WWE schedule is no longer worth the pain and suffering it brings.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
