Kurt Angle is another guy who did this but didn't quite manage to kill himself in the middle of the ring like he clearly wanted to. Wreslters like Misawa and Angle are polar opposites to guys like the Miz who never take a risk, never hone their craft, never even try to make any of their shit look good. Or even someone like Randy Orton who has all the athleticism in the world but half asses pretty much every match he's ever had. On one side of the scale you have cynicism, lazyness, cowardice and smug, unearned self-markdom. On the other side you have passion, bravery and sawdust, and if you're a mark for yourself then so be it because it actually is real to you.
