Really sad and distressed to hear the Junior Seau news tonight. We must learn from it. This message is for all wrestling FANS. I will start out by saying that today's wrestler is much smarter and much more protective of their heads than before the Chris Benoit atrocity. They have learned, gotten intelligent information and become more protective of their heads. That's a fact. I never claim to know the tricks of the trade of the physical acts of wrestling. I was never trained as a wrestler. I know there are things that are done to make things look like they hurt when they don't. However, at this point, there should be absolutely no unprotected weapon shots to the head or unprotected headbutts ever. I can say this a million times in the locker room, but the bottom line is when the wrestlers get in the ring they are in there for you and they perform for you. If they hear you pop for it, they will lose themselves in the adrenaline and do it. If you are out there yelling and screaming for it, they will lose themselves in the adrenaline and do it. Stop cheering unprotected head shots. Don't get me wrong, they are in there to amaze and dazzle you with spectacular physical feats that almost all of us can't even imagine doing. They will continue to do that and you should continue to cheer and support that. We are in a great time for independent wrestling talent wise. The wrestlers now do amazing, creative, smart, athletic things that have never been seen before. They blow me away every show. This is where the business must go. We cannot go backwards. We won't because you make the show.
