welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down the top 5 things you
didn’t know about indie wrestling before

content come along as we take a closer
look at the world of the independent
wrestling circuit hey what you see we
get this guy to the mix you know he’s
probably got some experience you could
show us the ropes number 5 it’s not
always a decent paycheck as is the case
with music or the Arts those who
participate in indie wrestling do it for
the love of the thing with very little
hope for making a living out of it yes
some former indie wrestlers like Daniel
Bryan
Seth Rollins or CM Punk make their way
to the big leagues and independent
promotions can be a great way to make a
name for yourself but just like any
other area of showbiz many will try few
will make it for larger scale indie
promotions like pwg more established
wrestlers can make a pretty penny with
some choosing to remain on the indie
circuit rather than take a WWE contract
but for the little guys starting out
this kind of gig is next to impossible
you need to love minor indie wrestling
for what it is a small-scale heartfelt
endeavor that might allow you to travel
the country or even the world but unless
you’re among the lucky few it’ll never
pay the bills however other people quit
other people just like you just lose it
but if you’re still there you’re
consistent you’re probably gonna end up
with a job somewhere number 4 it’s risky
doc I’m a professional wrestler that’s
not a good idea too many outsiders
wrestling is nothing more than
over-the-top stage fighting but don’t
let a fan of the sport catch you saying
that wrestling both at the indy and
professional level comes with
significant risks while the contenders
in the ring work together to mitigate
injury the reality is it’s an extremely
physical activity that takes a toll on
the body in the major promotions the
wrestlers have the necessary support
systems in place should they get injured
if you’re an indie wrestler doing it out
of pocket an injury can not only take
you out of the ring it can also leave
you unable to perform at your day job in
the minds of some this
a necessary gamble as they choose to
take dangerous bumps in order to stand
out among their peers in fact the moves
and spots taken in this scene are often
way more hazardous than those you see on
TV every week knowing the risks involved
you really have to appreciate their
dedication to the craft number three
it’s much more diverse than WWE the
offerings of professional wrestling
organizations aren’t for everyone but
just because you’ve never connected with
WWE or even WCW back in the day doesn’t
mean you’ll automatically feel the same
way about an independent wrestling
promotion indie wrestling is a
fundamentally different beast yes it’s
still people beating the living
daylights out of each other with a whole
lot of theatricality thrown into the mix
but because of the local nature of these
events you see wrestlers with all manner
of body types personas and individual
styles in this regard indie wrestlers
are encouraged to be themselves rather
than go on script you can witness genre
clash from the likes of old-school
British grappling to the Japanese strong
style but if you switch on wrong you’ll
likely just see what’s colloquially
known as the sports entertainment style
all in all it makes for a much more
diverse experience one that you just
might enjoy number two it’s all for the
fans they’re ready to see a great
wrestling show and that’s what we give
them each and every time like we said
there isn’t a lot of money to be made on
the indie circuit so why do it well
first and foremost indie wrestlers do it
for the love of the sport but on the
indie circuit there’s a lot more to it
than just getting in the ring fans love
their indie wrestlers and the wrestlers
love them right back if you attend an
event or talk to regulars you quickly
begin to understand that it’s a real
subculture a scene or in some places a
family yes indeed wrestlers put their
safety on the line for little reward but
with fans this devoted you can
understand why number one some events
are depressing others are absolutely
amazing because there’s really no
minimum entry point to indie wrestling
the events vary significantly in quality
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
that’s both a blessing and a curse
as previously mentioned he means you get
to see all manner of fighters step into
the ring but if it’s an event featuring
entry-level wrestlers put on by a
fledgling promoter it could make for a
painful viewing experience on the other
hand that very same scenario could
result in some truly off-the-wall antics
the likes of which you’ve never seen
before
with an experienced promoter and serious
talent you might be into the show of a
lifetime and in an indie setting you’re
always up close and personal this video
