I must say that Highspots’ customer service is really bad. However when other things go wrong for me they are a decent alternative, aside from the fact that they sent me a set of gear in the wrong color and then told me they sent me exactly what I asked for, then took over 3 weeks to send me the right pair after returning them.

Thanks for having this channel! Although I don't think I'll start a pro wrestling career at 40, your channel has to be the most insightful on the practicalities of how to get started, and is very intriguing to watch. Question about boots: I just want a pair for a Bret Hart Halloween costume, but are they durable walking around outside? The $60 costume ones are garbage I'm sure, but RD Boots regularly has clearance models for $100.

As for wrestling gear, I wanted to ask you if it’s possible to wrestle with jeans, since I’ve seen wrestlers who do it often (Juice Robinson and Jon Moxley for saying some of them) my question is what kind of jeans they must be to carry out a good match and performance?

When it comes to gear, the big gear makers who make some for the superstars ... they focus on the superstars so expect it to be pricey and expect it to take a while so have patience. Have patience for all gear makers. eLucha and High Spots are okay for beginners. Everyone starts somewhere, once you find a gear maker you can build a good working relationship. When you ask other wrestlers I find some people are hush hush about it bc they don’t want to overload their “guy/gal” and take away from their own return time. Some people are happy to tell you who made their stuff! I also had a gear maker i gave a 6 months heads up and ordered for Mania weekend. She quit making gear a month before manía weekend and deleted her social media. So yup there goes my payment. I can hopefully take it up with PayPal

Been in plenty of locker rooms with introverts in wrestling. When they go through that curtain their charisma comes out in a big way but in the locker room they sit by themselves and listen to music on headphones or read a book And it's understood that they don't want to be bothered and it's not a rude thing You can talk to them but they just prefer that quiet time and there's nothing wrong with that. One of these guys that I'm talking about is a major star at AEW And he just is this quiet guy that just you would never believe in a million years that he would be So calm and quiet sitting in the corner reading a book with headphones on while everyone else in the locker room is being a goof lol So yes as an introvert I believe you can make it in the wrestling business and you can make it big.
