AW: No. It split right open. He was bleeding to death out in some cornfield in Delaware. They had to airlift him out. He almost died. Wrestlers do the really violent stuff because they can get paid more. They want to impress fans and promoters and make names for themselves. AW: Absolutely. You just have to be more creative. Wrestling is a niche market, but that hard-core shit is a niche within a niche.
A promoter might ask you to get color. But you might get an extra twenty-five to thirty bucks for that. Do you know how many arteries are in your forehead?
BLVR: Does the impulse to take violence to greater extremes have anything to do with wrestling being less popular than it once was? Or is the envelope being pushed further and further just for the sake of pushing it? That gets pushed too far.

I got my face kicked in. I was paid nothing. And then I drove home. I had three other people in the car. I did all the driving that day.
Twelve hours for twelve minutes. What the fuck. What is this? Then you get a little bit deeper into it, and you see the whole thing is about self-expression, and that it can be turned into a business. We wrestlers kind of understand each other. You go out there and get beaten up for seventy-five bucks.
But people come see you perform.
