Tom Segura

He was awesome.

His matches, his storylines, his angles were great.

But more for us, he sat at the monitor.

If you weren't watching the matches that were happening on the live events, he'd ask you why you weren't.

He'd talk to you, but he was a really good coach.

It wasn't friendly-friendly, but it wasn't overly negative reinforcement.

Like you said, just a gentleman.

Clearly had been brought up well, had played enough team sports to know how this functions, and he'd also wrestled enough terrible wrestlers to go, hey, this is how we can make this work.

Who are you thinking of right now?

A terrible wrestler.

Who am I thinking?

I think what makes for a terrible wrestler

is there their difference between us talking right now and when we go out there that's actually so so there have been many wrestlers who i've met been like yeah you know because that's what we want they're using all the vernacular i'll get the gimmick and there's going to be great heat off this and this crowd's going to swell you make your comeback and then we'll do a shotgun finish and we'll head home like they're using all the yes yes yeah you're in and then you go out there and it's

full like deer in headlights.

They're not able to put the two together.

They actually knew what they were talking about.

They did.

But they couldn't execute it.

They couldn't perform in front of a live crowd and they couldn't pivot.

And today you have to pivot.
