Paying dues is a tradition that makes no sense at all, and is just there to make the vets feel good. When I wrestled in college, I started sophomore year, than the next year my school got an All American freshmen in my weight class, and he started over me, even though I had payed more dues than he had. And I don't disagree with it either. He was able to help the team more than I could have, and that is the point of it all, isn't it?

I believe in hard work. I don't believe in people being handed things. In wrestling, "paying dues" also gives time to develop. You can say what you want, but as far as I'm concerned, at least up to a point, having time to develop makes wrestlers better in the long run. Rock may have had a jump start with his dad being in the business, and a lot of second or third generation wrestlers may as well, but even then, they grew up in the business.
If you look at all great champions of the past, none of them started out as big superstars.
Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Mick Foley, Triple H, even Rock, who I mentioned, had to take it slow.
There aren't many other areas in life where I agree with people just being handed things either. In my opinion, where most people have to claw their way to the top, everyone should, and Tough Enough, to me, is like a handout.
