Supposedly he has 28 million shares before this so he'll still have ~20 million shares.

Edit: wait, is Trump going to sell him Mar a Largo so it doesn't get seized by New York in the fraud trial?

Don't think they can seize it, but they can force it to be auctioned off to pay his fines and penalties from the 250 million dollar fraud civil case.

I just looked this up because I was also interested in any history between CW and the other Andersons, and I guess he got permission from another member of the Anderson family ("family") to use the name as far back as 1994.

He apparently opened his own school in 1996 (after 3 years in the business??) and trained Chilly Willy and Lodi.

Also:

Anderson later met Ole Anderson but claimed that he was disillusioned by the experience.

So yeah, he was wrestling under another name in the Carolina indies where Pat Anderson (also not related) thought he looked like one of the Andersons. So he went to the booker who was like "sure, fine, whatever, who cares, it's early 1990s indie wrestling". But Pat Anderson went to the guy who ran Gene Anderson's school, Rocky Anderson (also not related), to ask for permission, because he'd gotten permission from Rocky to do the gimmick himself after training with Ivan Koloff.

And I was beaten to this I got into a rabbit hole because his Wiki page mentioned he was drafted by an MLB team, & I realise that I've probably been drafted by an MLB team despite having never held a baseball bat because they have so many rounds, but I tried to find out what round he went in & have so far failed. It also says he played baseball in college but then doesn't mention where he went to college. I'm starting to believe someone has made something up on a Wikipedia page guys.

There were 614 picks in this year's MLB draft. A weird quirk of my job is that once a year I wind up having to research a couple of college baseball players, and every year I find that any player with a modicum of talent was drafted by an MLB team as an underclassman, played four year of NCAA ball in addition to whatever AAA-squad they got assigned to, and they've usually got at least one or two stints in a non-MLB affiliate summer league in there as well. Playing a 40-game season for an 8-team league entirely confined to Upper Peninsula Michigan or something.

If you're trying to make a go of it playing pro baseball, they are going to make you play a LOT of baseball before you likely see the actual big leagues.

Oops. Here's a quote

quote:

JM: You were into baseball growing up, as well. You were offered a contract for the San Diego Padres, correct?

CW: That was my first love ... 1989, way before the Latin explosion hit. I was coming right out of high school, an 18-year-old kid being signed to play Major League Baseball – what else do you want? I talked to my mom and she kind of talked me out of it. She was a big influence on me. I decided to go on to college instead.

There used to be up to 40 rounds in the MLB draft up to 2019, where the league and players association agreed to shorten it. The 2019 draft had 1217 picks.
