Kevin Nash told me to sell less and kick out more back in 2009

I was working a match in a tiny indy fed near Dayton, Ohio and Kevin Nash was chilling in the back. He watched my spot then pulled me aside and said 'kid, you're selling too much, the crowd wants to see you fight back not lay there.' I took his advice and changed my whole style. Next match I kicked out of a finisher at 2.9 and the place went nuts. But then I started getting heat from the booker for making the other guy look weak. Has anyone else gotten advice from a veteran that worked great in one way but backfired in another?

Veteran advice always comes with a catch... fixing one thing just breaks another.

I read an article last week from a guy who spent 20 years working on old Land Rovers. He said the real trick is knowing which bolt to leave alone because fixing it means the whole frame shifts. That stuck with me because it's the same with my old house. You patch a leaky pipe and suddenly the water pressure drops in the kitchen. It makes you wonder if sometimes the thing that's broken is just holding everything else together.
