I think coming in later in his life helped, so when he came in he would have been a little more mature and not formed as many bad habits.

Though there is that funny Botchamania clip where he clocks Brutus in the back of a head at a time when it would've done some real damage to him (He had a metal plate). On a shoot video he's super apologetic and talks about how he was slipping and tried to save himself etc and then when they show the video it's like nope, he straight up just whacks him in the head.

He's pretty much the ultimate carny, all he does is shill and look for new opportunities to promote his product.

Remember the industry you're talking about, be careful of throwing around terms like "ultimate carny." That's a bold claim and a deep, deep rabbit hole.

Yeah, I really bought DDP being a post-WWE nirvana-achieving monk hook line and sinker until I heard him on Jericho's podcast saying how he got mad when Jake the Snake started losing weight or overcoming his addictions anytime the cameras weren't around. That was a disappointment.

I still think he's a cool dude.

He ran a club in Fort Myers. I don't think that's possible.

DDP is the most positive carny, which comes off way better than the typical old carny wrestlers.

He was on an interview on CBC Radio last week and was able to turn literally every question he got into a minimum 45-second shill for his latest DDP Yoga DVD or the Jake the Snake doc he's working on. It was kind of awesome and frustrating at the same time.

I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
I can't ever be mad at DDP for shilling his stuff. I went all-in on his system for over half a year and it worked like a charm.

I agree, you can tell the difference in his outlook as opposed to the guys who were trying to break into the industry since they were teenagers. Having a real life before he ever got into the business let him know that he had a way out if he didn't make it.

How the gently caress can anyone say anybody other than Paul Heyman when talking about the carniest people in wrestling.

Because there's a fucktonne of people more racist, misogynistic, deceitful and generally rear end-backwards than Heyman. Carny does not simply mean shady and opportunistic. Carny means a special brand of stuck-in-1968.

Easy. There are a lot of carnies that are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy shittier people than Paul Heyman. Heyman's almost more an unabashed survivalist than a carny.

Yeah, the general rule with Heyman is just don't accept any checks from him and don't let him borrow money from you, he's hardly the worst.

Hero is working hurt which does not do well for weight gain, and some people just drop weight much quicker than others.
