I question how booking Brutus Beefcake in any role, enforcer or otherwise, would result in a single extra ticket being sold for that show.

The promotion often books nostalgia acts and has had success. The show sold out and they had to grab more chairs. Plus the promotion tries to appeal to everyone. So they grab 80's WWE guys a lot, but also indy darlings/Japanese guys.

i can say in all honesty that kevin sullivan is someone that i just do not "get". the dungeon was this cast of cheesy gimmicks led by a little cab driver. eh, not for me.

Did you see any of his Florida run? I've read that his satanic gimmick was generally better there where he didn't have management telling him to tone down the Satan shtick, and was also able to bleed a lot, which I guess helps when your thing is brawling.

Shameful confession, Brutus was one of my absolute faves as a kid, I had the Brutus action figure, I thought his entrance music was a total jam too. In hindsight I had bad taste in wrestlers when ages 7, even had a Hulkster poster on the wall.

I was a big Brutus fan as a kid too, it's okay, the 80s were a different time.

Yeah, I don't know how that got misinterpreted so hard unless it was just the "Lance is Lance" part

Which is correct. Anyone but Lance would have just told them to gently caress off instead of bother with a verbose response

Lance is actually really funny but it’s the driest wit possible and he has (had?) a handful of views that were very weird but that he genuinely seemed ignorant about

I think for a while he was either getting a bad rap he didn’t deserve or he learned from his mistakes cause he seems fine to me the past couple years

Bryan Alvarez just this year ended up on a plane ride sitting next to Sullivan and while they were chatting, he explained that the intent of the Varsity Club was to play off some contemporary news stories about good ol' American college boys being lead astray by drug dealers (it may have been related to the Menendez Brothers murder?).

Apparently they couldn't be too blatant about it so he tried to make it present as much as possible via subtext, but removed from the time it was happening it's just this weird thing where these big college athlete dudes are hanging around with this bizarre little man and doing whatever he tells them to.

Didn't help that the NWA kept pushing it as "Sullivan went to Boston U., which is why he's leading them" angle.

I remember back when you first posted that Rockstar Spud was going to be the GM of 205 Live, an all I could think - and no disrespect to Spud intended at all - was,".....loving WHY!!?!?!"

Now I hope he rides this piss wave to a giant mansion and a guaranteed job for life. He's incredible.
