Is backflipping over the line to score a game winning touchdown over Shitsconsin a penalty?
WWE under Vince McMahon has been known to screw over wrestlers.
Boy that’s a tough way to make a living. Getting your head bashed in or choked out. People worry about brain trauma with football but getting punched, elbowed, kicked, or choked into unconsciousness doesn’t sound good either. I thought I heard that those guys still don’t make that much money?
This is his NFL comparison:
While this is true, he was remarkably successful and it only helped to increase his brand. He is a legitimate bad ass and he held all of the bargaining power with the WWE and made a boatload.
For the love of pete, can you guys get his name correct for once? Hate to nitpik, but it gets so annoying reading "Gabe" instead of "Gable"!!!
Good take. I think there's two chances he ever plays competitive football... slim and none.
Brock is likely closer to 300 lbs. When he was in the UFC, he had to cut to hit their limit 265. They also have USADA in MMA, I believe he said he got himself a bit leaner and then cut (water weight) to 265.
D end would be the best bet.
I don't think it is a gimmick. He is probably legitimately curious if football would be an option for him and might want to try it out before deciding on what route to go with his future.
which is a bit funny since its actually _Danny_ Mack Gable. that said, if steveson doesn't want the slightly shorter nickname, happy to oblige.
I totally get what you're saying here, but Fleck & Co wouldn't waste anyone's time. We're likely talking about Gable going through position drills and then a GA taking him off the the side for individual work during team stuff. He won't be taking reps from any contributors for many weeks. Could a GA instead be coaching up Schuster? Sure, but Schuster would probably learn just as much by watching the team stuff. But again, I get your point...I just think the risk/reward slants HEAVILY towards giving Steveson a shot.
I don't really care what we call the position and how he lines up, but I think his best position would be "go get quarterback".
Didn't Brock fail a drug test and forfeit his purse after his last UFC fight?
It is a tough way to make a living. The average pay for the UFC is $147,000. Only 38% of fighters made six figures. The top dogs do quite well. Khabib, the last year before he retired, made $6 million not including PPV bonuses.
I didn't know that, interesting. How bad is it getting? Like 7 years ago or so I'd head down to the local bar on Monday night and watch with a handful of people, but Wrestlemania was still getting sold out I think.
GA? [Jim Mora voice]GA????? a GA????? you wanna talk about a GA???? coaching a hometown superstar Olympian who is already being billed by Rossi in the STrib as a potential Aaron Donald????? You kiddin' me???[/]
With that NIL stuff, he's going to have a rather lucrative career even if he comes back to the Gophers to wrestle... or explore what seems to be his football dreams.
