Here are the full words of wisdom from wily veteran wrestler Jody Scott:

“Don’t knock the tent,” Jody said. “Keeps you honest. Never forget that we’re the whole circus for these people. Right now, you’re only the acrobat, but if you really want to make it, you also have to be the animal and the tamer, the director, the juggler, what have you. And when the time is right, you gotta show some ass and be their clown, too. In this tent, it’s only us.”
