Simon Miller discusses starting his wrestling training late.
Miller has been a pro wrestler since 2018, when he made his debut in the ring. While he was well known to fans for his content creation on YouTube, he still had a long way to go in his training.
While speaking to Fightful's Corey Brennan in a recent interview, Simon discussed starting his wrestling training late.
"Yeah, I think so. I think that's a fair way to look at it. I think that's a cool way to look at it as well. You know, I think there is a benefit that you always want to get into things as young as possible, right? The best proverb I ever heard was like the best time to do anything was 10 years ago or right now. Well, can't go back in time. So I may as well do it right now. But yeah, it's a great motivator because especially in wrestling, I mean, it kind of works both ways in wrestling because it is a young man's game. But at the same time, if you can establish yourself, you can go forever, right? You can be 64 years old and still having matches should you build up the right capital in your character and your worth. But yeah, and I was well aware that it was twofold to me. It was absolutely that feeling. Let's get some stuff done. But there was also the other side, which was, let's just get it done. Let's just do it. Wherever it goes is where it goes."
Miller explained that part of the reason he gave it his all was that he did not want to have any regrets when he is older.
"I just didn't want to be an 80-year-old man, sat on my couch and be like, why? Why? Ironically, why didn't you try to... Why didn't you just see where it could go? Now, that mentality goes right out the window as soon as you start having matches, because then you want to be in the main event of WrestleMania straight away. But... I can be sad about, I'm going to make a big, here's an exclusive for you. It's very unlikely I will ever main event WrestleMania, but I can be sad about that, but at least I won't regret not trying, right? I think that's a really important, and that's why I tell everyone. Everyone always says to me, you know, like, what's the one piece of advice you can give me about getting into wrestling? It's like, just don't regret it. If that means doing one session and then realizing it's not for me and going to do something else, that's equally as important. So even if you cross it off your list, I don't want to do it. that's great because you don't have to worry about it anymore. So yeah, but I think he's absolutely correct. Like you can't stand on ceremony here, Mr. Wayne, we got to get stuff done because by the nature, it's already kicked my ass. Look, I got no hair, so I don't need other stuff to go as well."
Elsewhere in Simon's interview with Fightful, he spoke about working with Joe Hendry last year. You can read more about that here.
