Has insider knowledge of wrestling increased your business accumen ?
 

I just had a meeting with someone regarding a big deal (non-wrestling related). As we were talking about a contract I found myself mentioning things such as exclusivity, kill fee, no compete clauses etc.

I knew these things at a cursory glance but I must say that from shoot interviews, leaked contracts, disputes and such I am much sharper.

To those of you that are in business(and not still in your parents basement), have you found your knowledge of " the business " helped you in your life ?

Not to that degree but I NEVER sign a contract unless there’s a huge audience, cameras, and a very easily broken table.

I made sure that I got a 25% cut of all merchandise when I signed my contract at work

Do you sell for Amway?

I'm a councilor

I have my own locker room when I hit the gym

All jokes aside I have to say that being a part of the wrestling industry has definitely made me a better businessperson and has allowed me to develop better skills, especially at marketing and communications.

I oil my chest and wear tights to work. I also press enter by elbow dropping it from a file cabinet, making sure everyone at the office sees my glorious mane flowing.

I give my boss the stone cold stunner on the regular

When you are not happy with a certain clause in an agrèement you could always pull out " that doesn't work for me, brother"

Today i used "its whats best for business"

When i was in the biz, I was the only one who got the scoop on Daniel tapping to Chris.
