It’s not about being perfect… it’s about being real. Look in the mirror for the answers. You are in control of everything in your life. In reading Ole Anderson’s book, “Inside Out," Ole was in charge of things and if you didn’t like the plan, you were free to leave. Ole told stories about guys he “fired” including Ernie Holmes, who got canned after missing shows but made excuse after excuse anyway. Ole didn’t fire Ernie Holmes, Ernie fired himself. Same with Cowboy Bill Watts and Eddie Graham and many more. They didn’t have to fire anyone. Everyone fired themselves.
Make yourself truly indispensible. Read the obvious (and obscure) signs. And if you get fired, don’t make excuses.
After I commented a couple of weeks ago about Bryan Danielson never becoming WWE Champion, I got several emails critical of my assertion, which I stand by. The point was he’ll never be a top guy, but I digress. One very well-written email reminded me that many said the same about Jericho, Benoit, Guerrero and CM Punk.
Do you think that Bryan Danielson will be in the same class with those four? He was the only one to have been fired, except for Eddie, who had substance abuse problems. Again, no one gets fired, you only fire yourself.
