This is the case in majors, indies, anywhere.

Clearly I haven't, nor do I recall ever saying I had worked in wrestling. Maybe some day if the opportunity arises as a commentator or writer or whatever, but right now I'm just a fan.
As for the rest of the post, I'll have to dig to find it, but in Lesnar's book, I seem to remember him saying that his "breaking point" was that no one told him the finish to one of his matches with The Rock until after the show had started and that it was one of the things that started his meltdown in WWE. Based on that, I assumed he always knew the finish long before he went to the ring.
Oh, and I'm totally jealous to anyone who was there last night. If I was anywhere close to Chicago or could have feasibly made it work financially, I would have loved to be there.
