The FEARS of Pro Wrestlers [& How To Overcome Them!]

[@OfficialStanBush]

Love the jacket!

[@TilWeMakeIt]

LOL! Thanks, buddy

[@Tornado_Christian_Winters]

For me making it is being a known wrestler and leaving a mark. Also these videos are so helpful it feels illegal.

[@TilWeMakeIt]

I believe they are illegal in most states, yes.

[@THESOONERKENNEMER]

I always fear the injuries that come with pro wrestling and I’m like also thinking it could affect other stuff like school and personal life.

[@te_arts7085]

For the flip bump my trainer gave a technique which really help me a lot, is that you start off with a standard roll to get use to it then someone on they're hands and knees so you flip over them with using them as lavrage start off with rolling over them, then flipping by pushing off them then just a normal flip really helped me a lot

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Interesting! Where do you train?

[@te_arts7085]

In royal imperial wrestling in South Wales been active on shows since November of 2022

[@flamingphoenixunknown2157]

Thank you as an aspiring wrestler your videos have helped me learn more about wrestling.

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Glad to hear this! Where are you training?

[@RebelHart9]

You’ve definitely earned a Like A Palooza for this video! 👍

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Outstanding!

[@Rockabillity101]

So many questions but I honestly have no idea where to start, love this channel though and what I’ve been able to learn!!

[@TilWeMakeIt]

I'm glad to hear it! Thanks!

[@thecalibratedsuperstarslic4284]

Yeah you really hit the nail right on the head!! , This is exactly what I teach in my school..

[@Darkzy3]

My problem is my overthinking and fear. i could do 10 perfect quarter rolls on a mat but when i get in the ring i hesitate and i botch same thing with back bumping.

[@ParadoxPW6]

Thank you 🙏

[@TilWeMakeIt]

You bet 👍🏼

[@wjjwTheDemigod]

The way my trainer told me to flip bump was stare into the sky when you jump to get height and when you are in the air look directly at your belly bottom amd youll land flat. I tend to rotate when i flip bump. My fear is the leg drop/ butt bump.

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Do you mean you over-rotate onto your butt?

[@wjjwTheDemigod]

@@TilWeMakeIt not on the flip bump. The bump where you jump up and land on your bump. My trainer said everyone has one that makes them nervous and that's mine.

[@S.M.Jean-Mahmoud_Ier]

Your trainer said well. Mike, if I get it right, he meant the teacher told him to look upwards while doing the flip in order to naturally gain height and secure the head from the canvas. Which is 3000% true since I ve seen it while training myself.

[@RebelHart9]

My definition of success is incapsulated perfectly in NF’s song “Hope” It’s quite long but here it is… “What's my definition of success? Listening to what your heart says Standing up for what you know is Right, while everybody else is Tucking their tail between their legs What's my definition of success? Creating something no one else can Being brave enough to dream big Grindin' when you're told to just quit Giving more when you got nothin' left It's a person that'll take a chance on Something they were told could never happen It's a person that can see the bright side through the dark times when there ain't one It's when someone who ain't never had nothin' Ain't afraid to walk away from more profit 'Cause they'd rather do somethin' that they really love and take the pay cut It's a person that would never waver Or change who they are Just to try and gain some credibility So they could feel accepted by a stranger It's a person that can take the failures in their life and turn them into motivation It's believing in yourself when no one else does, it's amazing”

Hi mike how long does wwe take to check your application? Great information in the video thanks for the content ❤

[@JackgarPrime]

Yeah flip bumps are scary. Mine still aren't that great even a year later. Although my hiptosses I think are quite good. Probably because I can use more physical strength for posting on hiptosses. Doing lots of "mind training" (visualization, but using a term I learned from a VERY different sort of training I used to do) definitely helps, though. Although sometimes I just stay up way later at night than I should, just sitting in bed and visualizing mechanics and whatnot. "It does seem like it's begging for a lawsuit" I sure hope that Santino Bros. channel has taken that into account for their sake, then!

[@TilWeMakeIt]

For what it's worth, I think a hiptoss is a handstand bump, not a flip bump. Do you have a clean handstand bump?

[@JackgarPrime]

@@TilWeMakeIt Yeah I see what you mean. My handstand bump is I would say okay, but not amazing. I can't hold myself up for very long, but my landings usually feel decent and I land in proper position.

[@TilWeMakeIt]

@@JackgarPrime Let's harass Smashmaster into bringing me up to see you guys. I'll show you some tricks to make handstand bumps look amazing!

I have a question for a fear of mine: What advice would you give for someone (me) who has never been in a fight, and has a sensory issue getting touched/punched/having their body manipulated against their will?

[@TilWeMakeIt]

This is certainly a unique circumstance. Are you currently training?

[@krazydragonyt5811]

@@TilWeMakeIt no, but I'm planning to start before the end of this year, potentially early next year if things don't work out the way I hope they will

[@TilWeMakeIt]

@@krazydragonyt5811 Given how specific this is, I suppose I would consult either a physician or a mental health professional about a strategy that will work for you. Go in with a plan, and be upfront with your coach/trainer about the challenge this represents. I've never come across something like this before, so I feel ill-prepared to offer you much real advice on the topic.

[@krazydragonyt5811]

@@TilWeMakeIt noted. I'll see what I can do. Thanks!

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Hello until we make it am steven am 23 years old am a Congolese from africa . I love your contents . I have no experience in pro wrestling but I love it so much . I will like to be the first African to main event wrestlemenia. My question is that 23 years old is older to start a career in pro wrestling ? So do you have a wrestling school how can someone join it . Thank you

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Hi Steven! I don’t think 23 is too late to start. And yes, my wrestling school is located on the east coast of the US, it is called The Wrestle Factory. Thanks!

[@S.M.Jean-Mahmoud_Ier]

Congolese wrestling is a thing within the thing. Go for it, but pick the correct side.

[@Nate-qg7zx]

Mike it's your old pal Nate. Thank you again so much for all you do for the brotherhood of professional wrestling!!! I am joining your patreon next paycheck...So I officially started training at Boogies Wrestling Camp 4 weeks ago. Jimmy has been very complimentary of my bumps, punches, selling and initial chain training. Speaking of fear!!! Last Sunday on my 38th birthday they gave me the grand honor of putting me into my first ever match. I never expected anything to advance so quickly. Of course being so green I took the fall and it's only 5 mins at best. Not to impose But I'd love for you to see it and get a good laugh. Maybe after I join your patreon we can talk about my first performance. It's an honor that you even respond Mike. Thank you. If you're interested it's the opening match on KZbin BWC Worldwide Episode 8 (Phoenix vs Savage Dragon)

[@TilWeMakeIt]

Nate, this is terrific! Congratulations on making your debut!

[@Nate-qg7zx]

@@TilWeMakeIt thank you so much. It was definitely a special moment and an honor to bump in Jimmy Valiant's ring. I just want to be a part of this thing we all love so much.
