A wrestler has to bring his best game onto the mat. You can’t worry about whether your opponent is in tip-top condition and you can’t worry about whether the audience is all open-minded and ready to like what you’re doing. It doesn’t matter if it’s a shallow stage, whether there’s two people or 200 in the audience, or if there’s pee coming down on your head. You have to adapt, to morph to the space and command it.
