There's a difference between trying to get in, make as much money as possible and then get out.
Obviously they all want to get paid. People aren't saying that. There are however wrestlers who actually enjoy doing what they love to do. Do you honestly think a guy like Terry Funk is just in the business to make money?
Huge difference between your comment and what people are implying in theirs.
If somebody was willing to pay Terry the same money to do something else that didn't involve scrambling his brain on a regular basis, he would have done it. I gurandamntee it.
Wrestlers who "love the business" and stay in it for a million years are unable to do something else and make the same amount. That's why they get stapled in the head at county fairs by some other fossil or get trotted out on WWE or TNA programming to be made fun of.
The "wrestling business" is an extremely scummy one and any performer that says they'd still be doing 300+ days a year for 250 bucks a week because "the love it" is fucking liar. There is no "love of the business" there is a love of money and most "wrestlers" are too stupid or lazy to do anything else.
