Do you need to know your history before you can wrestle?

I don't think it's completely necessary to know the history of the business to become a wrestler. However, I do believe you need to know the history of the business to become a SUCCESSFUL wrestler. I think it's needless to say that we probably won't be seeing that particular woman on our television sets anytime soon. Professional wrestling is an activity of passion; It has passionate fans and passionate participants. Most people do not get into it for the money but get into it because it is something that they love and respect. You earn this love and respect by first being a fan, there's no way around it. I would say most all successful pro-wrestlers of today are successful in part due to the fact that that they know their history. By keeping up on the history of the business you know what has been done, what hasn't, what works, what doesn't work, what the "no nos" of the business are, what the safest way to execute certain moves are, what is dangerous, etc.

Being a fan before you participate is absolutely invaluable.
