We all watch wrestling, read about it, and write about it for the same reason because we love it. The reason for becoming a pro wrestler is exactly the same. It's true that the more you learn, the more mystique is removed, but it's far from a case of "seeing how the sausage is made" training to be a pro wrestler deepens your appreciation of the sport. I learned, from Lance Storm and just from trying to do it myself, how difficult it is, and just how talented the best of the best really are. I love wrestling. I always have and I always will. Training with Lance Storm despite my flaws and failings only made that love greater. Thinking you know everything about something and then realizing that isn't the case can do that as I said, the mystique is removed, but a whole new mystique is put in its place. Whether you turn into a talented worker trying to be the best, or just a writer with no regrets, that's the most rewarding thing you'll learn at the Storm Wrestling Academy.
