Jey Uso’s development as a babyface has truly helped him become beloved by fans. With that said, Jey Uso believes any young person trying to break into the wrestling business should focus on learning the art of it properly instead of chasing clout.
In a recent interview with the Battleground podcast, Jey Uso, son of the legendary Rikishi and a member of the renowned Anoaʻi family, shared his extensive knowledge of the wrestling industry.
When asked what advice he would give to young talent trying to make a name for themselves, the RAW star emphasized that those focused solely on fame are destined to fail.
“If you’re trying to do this for like, some likes and views and fame this ain’t it bro. Because a lot of homies are lined up for that and they’re all gonna fail.”
The former tag team champion then gave further emphasis that aspiring wrestlers should prioritize mastering the fundamentals and preserving the integrity of the beloved wrestling industry.
“I feel like just learn this craft. If you really love it, just start in the ring first. Learn the art of wrestling, right? Like it’s cool with characters, but I always take pride in [that]. Not a lot of people can do the entertainment part, the acting part, let alone do the athleticism in the ring – the moves, the bumps.
The movement with someone else in there is different with two people, let alone four or five. Protect the art, protect the business. If you really want to, get down and learn. Just don’t do what you see on Instagram. You know what I’m saying, Uce? Just protect what we love. It’s not a sprint. It’s a marathon.”
Jey Uso has been in the industry for several years now and simply wants the next generation of professional wrestlers to love the business as much as he does, so it’s understandable why he is giving such advice. We’ll have to wait and see if younger pro wrestlers will heed his advice.
