The importance of social media cannot be understated in this era of pro wrestling. It is your resume. It is your business card. It’s your hotline to every single fan, friend, and potential employer on the planet. What you post on your timeline matters. If you neglect to keep some quality control on your social media you will suffer for it.

Make no mistake: we’ve talked about dozens of important things they need to happen during a match throughout the life of this podcast. Everything from how you interact with the ropes, the turnbuckles, the bumping and rolling on the mat, making eye contact with fans, being verbal and loud, and even making every single move/strike count from the ring row all the way to the 10th row. But none of that matters if you don't prioritize your health and your opponents health. You must keep each other safe. You may be playing opponents, but you are in fact partners. You are working together to craft a perfect experience for the fans that bought tickets to see you.
