Alex Hammerstone has been part of the business for several years and hes proud of all of his accomplishments. However, hes never afraid of calling out people who insult wrestlers in general and now he has called out those exact people.
Hammerstone took to Twitter and uploaded a video, where he talked about how no matter what you accomplish in professional wrestling, there will always be fans trying to downplay it and make you feel small or insignificant.
Hammerstone pointed out that if youve wrestled for companies like TNA, NXT, MLW, NWA, AAA, CMLL, Rev Pro, NOAH, or any similar promotion, youre already in the top 1% of wrestlers. Thats because there are thousands of wrestlers in just one state who are clawing for those chances and would do anything to get them.
The MLW star said that until someone main events WrestleMania, people will keep acting like what theyre doing doesnt matter and even if they do reach that stage, someone will still say the match sucked.
Hammerstone stated that most people who dream of becoming a pro wrestler never even try. A big chunk of those who do try end up quitting before they get anywhere. And most who actually start wrestling never make it out of their hometown scene.
Thats why Hammerstone encouraged wrestlers not to let some random person online diminish their accomplishments. If youre working out of state, getting into bigger promotions, or even appearing on TV, whether youre in a dark match getting squashed in two minutes or not, youre still part of that top 1%.
Hammerstone says that doesnt mean you should stop pushing for more, but it does mean you shouldnt let someone on Twitter, sitting in their moms basement with Cheeto dust on their fingers, make you feel like what youre doing doesnt matter.
Hammerstones message is a strong reminder that wrestling at any big level is a huge deal, and real fans should be happy about it. Well have to wait and see if anyone disagrees with him or starts giving him a hard time for it, since the current toxic culture online wont be ending anytime soon.
