Say somebody offered to magically give you the ability to be a superstar pro wrestler. You'd get to travel around the world plus money, fame, etc. The only catch is that you'd die from a heart attack at 35. Would you accept?

No that's too young in my opinion.

...That gives me a little over a decade of fun. I might do it, laWlZ.
Ideally, I'd be a commentator though. And live till at least 60.

Sure if i'm main eventing for the next 10 years and go down as one of the best to ever do it. Also no steroids or drug abuse attached to my heart attack so i'll be beloved for eternity.

It's my dream. I'd do it if I died the day after my first match.

No, I don't want a painkiller addiction. I'd like to be involved somehow even as like a camera guy so I could travel and see matches for free but being an actual wrestler isn't for me.

I did at one time, but that was before I learned how subjective the business is. Meaning of course that backroom politics and jockeying for position play a more significant role than raw talent in the success one can achieve in pro wrestling compared to all other athletic endeavors.

I would love to be an announcer or even a road agent, but wrestler? Hell no, especially not if I have to die at 35. It's not worth it.

It would leave me 7 years to live... Nah. I'd rather wrestle for a small indy once in a few months and live to see my grandkids.

Meaning of course that backroom politics and jockeying for position play a more significant role than raw talent in the success one can achieve in pro wrestling compared to all other athletic endeavors. Unfortunately this...i've only been doing it 16 months and i've encountered many political moves. I was on two shows, main eventing with the Light Heavyweight Champion on both, beat him in a tag match on one, jobbed to him a month later, my trainer's talking me up as "Mr Main Event" and saying how much better i'm getting with every match, and then all of a sudden...poof, i'm not on shows at all for four months, and another masked light heavyweight babyface has taken my spot, and won the title in the same multi-man match I was in a month ago. So yeah, i'm pretty sure someone not only politicked their way into making sure I didn't become champion, but made sure I wasn't on shows too.

I wouldn't mind being a manager or referee but I'm in no way big enough to wrestle.
I would like to bounce off the ropes once or twice, maybe get my head into a turnbuckle.
