Arn Anderson recently spoke on his podcast, “ARN,” about a variety of professional wrestling topics including a piece of advice that he would give to young wrestlers:
“One thing I want to point out that you may look through history and see at what point it happens, but if you notice [Gene] Kiniski and if you notice [Steve] Austin, one thing that was missing: kneepads.”
“Young guys that don’t wear knee pads — that don’t feel they need ’em or don’t want ’em or whatever — is a big mistake. I would advise every young wrestler, male or female, from the first time you step in the ring, kneepads are essential equipment to giving you longevity and protecting you.”
