Jerry Lynn Shares His Advice to Young Wrestlers, How You Should Never Get Complacent

AEW wrestler Queen Aminata recently chatted with AEW agent and coach Jerry Lynn in her latest vlog, sharing his advice for young wrestler. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Jerry Lynn on his advice to aspiring wrestlers: “The advice I give any wrestler, even ones that are just thinking about doing this, is you’re going to get out of it, what you put into it. I had a call recently from a promoter about an appearance, and I asked him, I go, ‘well, how long of a drive is that?’ He says, ‘about five hours’, and I said, ‘well, that’s not bad,’ and he laughed. He goes, ‘I can tell you’re an old timer,’ and I said, ‘why?’ Because he said a five-hour drive isn’t bad. He says, ‘I can’t get these young people to drive two hours.’ And I said, ‘that’s pretty sad,’ That’s why I always tell him. You’re going to get out of it, but you get into it. How bad do you really want it?”

On how you should never get comfortable or complacent: “Now, you’re here. You’ve made it. You’ve got a contract. Some advice I can give you that I give to some other people who are already signed, never get comfortable. Never get complacent. You always got to remember there’s 5,000 people vying for your spot. You always got to up your game.”
