Wight and Sopp had to sift through navigating living that dual life in real life and online.The methodology of pro wrestling has had to evolve as more attention was gained by the sport throughout the 80s into the 90s and the turn of the millennium into the modern day. Pro wrestling today is higher-paced and more fantastical, with bigger stunts and flashier finishes. While that added entertainment and physical prowess is impressive, Wight and Sopp don’t think it is necessarily better than when they were in the primes of their careers.

Sopp’s strategy to build his ongoing career as a relevant wrestler was to capture the audience’s intrigue before he did any wrestling rather than wrestling to capture the audience’s intrigue. By focusing on the experience of the crowd, he didn’t need to put himself in dangerous situations of over-the-top spots to draw a crowd’s reaction.
Wight and Sopp recognize that although they aren’t as spry as they were early in their career, they are still excited to work in the ring. They believe that passing on their knowledge to younger athletes and lifting those around them will continue to increase their stocks.
It’s never about just you.
Sopp and Wight maintain training routines that allow them to continue working effectively to make themselves and those in the ring with them look good.
Make sure to watch the entire interview that dives further into the mindset of Sopp and Wight about how they’ve achieved all the accolades they have in wrestling and the physiques that keep them “built different.”
