After a while you realize that it's more than the money. It's one of those jobs where pay was decent, but you got more than a paycheck as reward being a Knight. I enjoyed the "perks" of working there. Most times after shows when we'd have a "Knight" out at a bar or restaurant, we'd get recognized often and would get discounts. Specially the bars in town. We work hard we drank hard lol all seriousness we deserved a beer or two after a crucial 3 shows or long week. I enjoyed the marketing events too! Going to ComiCon for free cuz we had a booth there, we'd go to baseball games and other big events. Making those kids laugh and enjoy themselves was amazing though I really do miss that. Performing in front of a loud sold out crowd, chanting your color and going NUTS cheering you on throughout your fight. It was just COOL to be a Knight. All my friends and family made me feel like I was famous lol "Omg you're a Knight from Medieval Times?!" Alot of times just making someone's day after the show because you took a picture with them or signed a poster for them. A little girl running up to you asking if SHE was your princess and if you were her Knight in Shining Armor. Learning how to ride any kind of horse, how to train one, the knowledge I gained working there where to this day I love riding still my friends and family have horses and I sometimes help train them or work with them for a few bucks. So you see, it's more than just a paycheck. We made a great living. The longer you work the more you make. We get reviewed every year and that depends on our raise. But as any other job, "pay could be better" lol.

It's not that bad actually. The more years you have with the company, the more you get paid. They do use the "Seniority" effect. At the end of every year you get a review pretty much like most jobs do. They evaluate your importance to the show, and how many fights you know and have learned and how much of an asset you are to the team. If you only do one fight versus someone who knows and can do 3-4 fights, that person will get a higher raise. But as with most other jobs we do take a beating and pay can be better lol.

Lol the bachelorette groups were the best. I did meet my ex from one of the show. Well, I had been talking to her for about a week and she asked the million dollar question "what do you do for a living?" This question is kind of hard to answer doing what we do. I mean, how do you react to "I'm a Knight" lmao. So I just gave her free tickets and she came to see me and answered her own question. But yes there was a lot of "how big is your lance Mr Knight?" Or after they took the picture they'd slip a lil note with a #. So pretty much to answer your question, the Armor and long Hair gave an extra boost if you were trying to not be single. Or, you know, do what you do...
