A wrestler or rockstar?

First thing i want to say is happy 49th birthday Bret, last year
he put a notice on his website telling everyone that he was
48 and all the thanks. But this year there is nothing, so i guess this is it.


All my life, well ever since i can remember ive wanted to
be a wrestler. but i dont show it or tell it because people
just say what a looser, and i go "why"? and it just ends up
in a shmoz. so i decided not to say anything to anyone ever
and just become what i want. lately ive been thinking to
myself and telling myself "if Bret new i was hiding this he
would tell me not to but be proud of it". So i should be proud,
just because no one from Australia has ever made WWE doesnt
mean this place isnt meant for wrestlers and who said i
want to be apart of WWE?? i dont have to, its just it
would be better for me because i no that i would be
working with professionals and id be safe. But no place
is safe when it comes to wrestling everyone gets hurt and
makes mistakes. Ive been telling myself all along
" you dumb ass i gotta start now" and im playing music
flat out and i plan on starting my own bussiness (a recording studio).
But i havnt done anything apart from wrestle my
brother when i was young, jee how professional.
the only thing that is keeping me back is school,
so i was deciding to go to the showgrounds and sign
up and get started straight after i finish school.
I just wanna start young and fresh.
Mind over matter will always be there, well i hope so :)
and its going really well and ill always play music
its just my calling.Ive always had this feeling when
im on stage and i look around seeing a crowd and think
is this what i want to be?? and the answer is yes,
but i just want to be wrestler not because bret hart
was a wrestler but because i want to be a "hero"
i want people to look up to me and say...."i want to
be like that guy". people say that fans can still look
up to you that way when your on stage singing.
but i not personaly but know that being a wrestler
would be different its like working my way up to the top.
fans would cheer you or boo you and thats reality,
thats what happens in wrestling and i think thats
awesome how maybe one day your a bad guy and
the next day your good guy, and when its all said and
done your a baby face forever. but its true how many
retired wrestler do people hate????? none, not one.
But beyond talking about being a wrestler, when i get
there i dont and will not work for WWE even if they
offer me money that could look after me and my
family for the rest of my life i will not work for WWE
unless they get rid of vince. The good thing is, by the
time i wrestler for WWE hopefully he will be dead
and gone. Its not the biggest thing wrestling for
WWE i personally would love to be there if it was
like it was in the early 90's and 80's when wrestling
was what its suppose to be. They call it wrestling
for a reason, people dont watch wrestling for sex,
all it is now is sex and divas and a whole story line
that reminds me of "Home and Away". if wrestling
stays like this its only going to get worse, than id
rather wrestle for a promoter that is going to use
me for something that should be wrestling today.
DX is back?, they might as well bring professional
pornstars in to do a strip show everyweek, DX is
way over the top what kind of job do they have
when you play scripted practical jokes on your boss
infront of millions of people. im starting to wonder
if i want to be a professional wrestler hopefully
someone makes a new promotion as big as WWE
without explicit behavour that needs to be thrown out the window.
For the first time in a long time i watched Smackdown
the other day and i have nothing against wrestlers,
any of them i think that they are all great, good or
bad i have repect for them and that they have
made it, its all wrestlers wildest dreams to become
what they are today, (and for those people that
think i just want to be like bret well he actually
had no intentions of becoming a professional
wrestler at all he actually wanted to become a film
director, If it wasnt for his dad(stu Hart) who
owned a wrestling promotion himself Bret would
never be known of, but as for me i want to be a
wrestler and want to get to the top) but wrestling
to me looks like a scripted movie, i never seen one
match the whole 30 minutes i watched it.
So its like would becoming a rockstar (which i
personaly would rather go the other direction)
or yeah becoming a professional wrestler? and im
not using this for an excuse just because people
think i wont make it, but i wont even come close to
working for the WWE if it is still what it is today,
and if it does ill just wrestler for a small wrestling
company probably PCW and persue my music ability.
My Hitman character obviously came from Bret Hart,
and people again say....."get your own name"
and stuff like that... but what people dont no is
that Bret hart got the name "hitman" from a retired
boxer which kindly i have forgotten his name.
now Bret Hart has retired and i will use the name
Hitman for as long as i live because i believe that
i can take his character on and that is... believing
in yourself and never quit. thats something i
believe in and so did Bret. If anyone feels they
are the same way believing in themselves and
believe they will never quit feel free to call your
self the Hitman because now you no what it means.
I just want to add something to the Hitman character
because there is no copyright on it, 3 things,
- believe in yourself, never quit and i believe that
if anyone wants to go somewhere in life or do
something that is part of your wildest dreams you can do it!.
they are the 3 things that stand for Hitman.
I just want to say, i was on the internet the other
day and i havnt seen the 2006 hall of fame yet
but i found this website called www.youtube.com
and its a website that gives you access to videos of
your choice( no ideas :) and i typed up Bret Hart
and a few video's from the hall of fame came up,
i got so excited as a downloaded a few of them i left
them went and grabed a snickers bar and got ready
to watch some wicked stuff. so i came back and the
first one was a story Bret told about his son which was
quite funny, i watched about 4 as i watched them i
laughed so much and felt some emotion as watching
Bret who he is today and his kids all grown up and i
can tell any video thats before or after the stroke
because of the way bret is now. But like i said in another column
Bret is just growing stronger and stronger.
