Over the past decade there has been a growing generation gap in wrestling, between the "old schoolers" and newer guys. Never has the conflict become more blatant than in Arizona at the moment, with a relatively fresh face named High Alert Cody Baker.
Behind his back and to his face some of the wrestlers at the Real Deal Pro Wrestling shows held every Saturday in Phoenix, he has derisively been called "Spot Monkey" by some of the veterans, which in layman's terms might best translate as someone who is all flash and no content. Baker in return, has responded with a number of remarks that might best not be said here.
Like many associates in other parts of the USA from the younger set, Baker likes a lot of sensational moves, flips and routines as opposed to the leg locks , headlocks and occasional brawling tactics of the older competition. And he has made his feelings known and made it clear he thinks his style is far superior to the older way of things .
To boost his ego, which needs no boosting, he has been place in the ring with some of the older competition he has shown such contempt for and for better or worse,they have failed to completely teach him the lesson they desire.
Well, there are others waiting in the wings for a crack at him.
Will age and experience win over determination and vigor or will the stubbornness of youthful ambition prevail?
Real Deal Pro Wrestling runs every Saturday at the Mercado Swap Meet grounds in Phoenix.
Check out ans see where and if this conflict of the generations will end.
