Look and feel more like a star when you're performing as well. As you know, how do you make the feet howdy, how do you make the fans feel a certain way when you want them to you know, you know, what kind of emotion are you working on it?

I don't think that's What happened before and for Dominik you think that he is feeling just a massive amount of pressure to go out there and perform and his first match." ## Booker T: Of course. Yeah. Yeah, of course, the something that he's got to be thinking about is something that's in his head right now knowing that man did it go out and make my, you know worldwide television debut in front of the world couldn't have a better person in the ring. I'm working with I think doesn't set and Seth Rollins knows that the nice job, but just going to be one of those things to were kids got to go out there and perform and the thing is he's going to be performing without a net. ## "Like this is not a taped show or anything like that and there is a whole lot of pressure and I say that because you have a guy that's been in the business many many years and a guy that had been the business many years when I had to do Monday Night RAW live television are Monday Nitro live television the pressure that I mean for Nitros one thing all I had to do was Wrestle, but when I came to WWE Monday Night Nitro I had to entertain and Wrestle and that's what Dominik Is right now he's going to have to go out in that ring.## "And of course, the wrestling has to be there, but he's gonna have to learn how to entertain very very quickly and this is no rehearsal or anything like that. This is the real deal and I'm looking to see exactly how for Dominik Mysterio has come over these last couple of years is just for as being able to go out there in the ring and be even been able to manage not I'm not looking for Dominik be a general. In the ring or anything like that, but he definitely have to be a private first class in order to be able to understand what's going on.## Stay tuned to Sacnilk for more Wrestling updates...
