I wrestled for WWA Bruiser Wrestling around Indiana and Ohio for awhile but got injured. I’m looking into writing now so this does help out quite a bit. Thanks for posting it.

Uhhh… what do you mean pro wrestling is scripted????

I really believe that #4 is an extremely important rule that freelancers have to follow every day and bring to the table with each new client. If you have “problems” with a contract (e.g. can’t get the source, can’t get the flow going to write it, you lose your Internet connection, etc. ) then you simply have to go above and beyond your normal routine so that you can deliver a final product that meets and exceeds what you have promised. In this business, it is far to easy to be passed over for another freelancer when you don’t deliver.

I LOVE this post! I am a writer, and someone very close to me is working toward a career in professional wrestling — seriously! I’ve often noted the similarities, but your points are simply wonderful. I’ve “tweeted” this link a few times and will be placing a link on my website. This is a must read. Thank you.
