The wrestling business isn’t for the weak as some performers manage to achieve great success, while others do not. WWE Hall of Famer Jim Duggan believes that the wrestling business is what you make of it, and he recently shared his thoughts on wrestlers who whine about the industry during an interview with ClutchPoints.com.
“I had a fun time in the business, you know? I see so many guys on the Dark Side of the Ring. They’re crying and whining about wrestling. It’s been a great business for me. You know, I’ve been with my wife for 43 years. I never had to go to rehab for booze or drugs. I put two daughters through college. At 73 years old, I travel the world signing autographs.
How can you gripe? I see these guys: ‘Oh, wrestling’s so bad. It’s horrible.’ I’m like, ‘You know, it’s what you make of it.’ Don’t do an eight ball of cocaine every week and get three divorces, you know? And there are other success stories in wrestling. You just don’t hear about them. Tito Santana.”
Jim Duggan also recently shared an interesting story about Vince McMahon banning a specific type of game from the WWE locker room, and you can get more details on that here.
