Jeff sure found the most random state senator to hang out with (I know it's because of Hermie Sadler) but an anti-mask, anti-HPV vaccine, Tea Party guy from another state is pretty random.

I have always heard that Vince McMahon is a huge bodybuilding fan, but that looks like what you would do if you hated bodybuilding but were forced to put on a bodybuilding show anyway.

Or at the very least, it's the show you put together if you find bodybuilding to be extremely boring.

Have you heard about WWE Monday Night Raw

Body building is boring tho. Unless you're some kind of pervert or race scientist. What Vince did was create a whole class of exhibition performances that haven't really been replicated. The closest modern bodybuilding gets is you get to choose your music for your pose.

Frankly I'm surprised Vince didn't do the same over the top characterization for XFL. Sure there was HE HATE ME but a full Mutant League team full of gimmicks would've been hilarious. If a garbage man, an evil dentist, and a minotaur could moonlight as pro wrestlers, then so could football players.

it would've distracted from the terrible quality of the actual football being played, for sure

if they'd gone for some exciting new rule changes instead of the dumb, violent ones they did implement, the XFL (given america's insatiable appetite for football, just look at the USFL revival occurring in april) could've easily stuck around

Yes, do indies and drive up your price so Tony has to pay you more.

I think you're misreading the post.

Do indies -> be successful -> be worth more money -> get a bigger contract from AEW than you would have before step one

i wonder if they'll consider doing (or are already doing?) 'seasons' for pro wrestlers. Where someone is booked regularly for whatever story they're involved in, and then cycled out for other wrestlers. Since AEW allows people to book indie dates, it would help other companies and thus hopefully strengthen relationships. It would also give wrestlers a break if they need it, because holy poo poo I would not want to be doing pro-wrestling at a schedule that say, Ambrose did in WWE.

The downside is that for fans you might not get to see your faves and that can be a big bummer, so maybe it's not a good idea. I like it as a concept though.

I don't particularly care if Danhausen comes to AEW or not, but I'd very much enjoy Austin Gunn being his usual loud-rear end self in the audience, and then occasionally you hear Danhausen's geeky voice yelling SHUT UP, rear end BOY

Nobody said he didn't have experience or name recognition already but if you're working indie dates and start getting even more attention, it only works in your favor.

Not the original name but it was the terminus for the railroad line so it was an early nickname.
