The first one is my martial arts experience and the fact that I already had an athletic background &#8212; something that I basically mastered as much as you can when I started professional wrestling. So, it&#8217;s not like I started my professional wrestling career mirroring other wrestlers, I started my career with a skill set that I had to protect. I had things that I liked. I had professional wrestling that enjoyed and wanted to do and there were other forms of media that I wanted to incorporate within my wrestling like martial art films &#8212; of which I was always a huge fan. The other is, in the last ten years of my wrestling career, I travelled the world so much and what you understand when you do that is how important it is to be able to adapt and be able to do different things &#8212; not stuck in your own pattern and your own rhythm. Pro wrestling is different wherever you do it. There is always a cultural difference that affects the audience. There are expectations. The promoter&#8217;s expectations. How your opponent will expect the match to go. And I think being able to understand all that is what&#8217;s led me to be so adaptable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bailey also talked about when he thinks pro wrestling is most intersting during the interview. &#8220;I think pro wrestling is at it&#8217;s most interesting when two people who don&#8217;t know each other, have never met, and don&#8217;t speak the same language, get together in a room and put together a flawlessly choreographed fight scene,&#8221; said Bailey. &#8220;I think that is the most beautiful part of professional wrestling. Mike Bailey on the art of professional wrestling: Anyone in the world could have a good pro wrestling match if they had an infinite amount of time to put it together. Knowing the goal &#8212; to go out there, to put on a show, to put out something that&#8217;s memorable and will create an emotional connection with the audience. Literally anyone could do that if I had a whole team help them script the fight and we could micromanage everything. A big part of the art of professional wrestling is that it can happen ten times a week with no preparation and no control over the environment. It&#8217;s portable by definition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can watch Impact&#8217;s Bound For Glory PPV on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fite.tv\/watch\/bound-for-glory-2023\/2pdmt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FITE TV<\/a> tonight at 8p.m. Eastern.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1671433647\"><div id=\"pwtor-3714126111\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Mike Bailey spoke about his in-ring style ahead of his match against Will Ospreay on Impact&#8217;s Bound For Glory PPV tonight.
