When observing wrestlers who set a high pace, a common misunderstanding is that they “do not get tired.” This statement is misleading. Of course, physical endurance is vital in setting a high pace. However, having endurance does not mean you will not get tired. Guys like David Taylor, Mitchell Messimbrink, the Brands Brothers, etc., surely get tired (just watch Messimbrink and Hamitti).

They are comfortable with being uncomfortable.
