OT: Cavinder twins to WWE.

DMoney said:
The WWE is starting to recruit college athletes while they are still in college. The Cavinder Twins were already on a WWE NIL deal.

Since most athletes don’t go pro, WWE is targeting kids in the next tier who have a specific look or personality to them.

The first wave of NIL athletes are progressing at a very fast rate. WWE sends them to their developmental program in Orlando, which is called NXT. They learn quickly because they are already athletes- wrestling fans may know some of the names like Bronn Breaker (football), Sol Ruca (gymnastics) and Tiffany Stratton (gymnastics).

Logan Paul has done surprisingly well as a wrestler. I didn't expect it out of him so quickly.

His brother Jake on the other hand is not a good boxer, and he still hasn't fought a decent boxer.

Athleticism and personality but that’s a perfect example. Logan tore his ACL his first wrestlemania match. Completely different type of physicality.

Not everybody has what it takes to be wrestlers. Hope they understand it’s more like fighting than a sport like basketball or even football.

You clearly don't watch much modern wrestling. It's a dance recital now.

They don't float my boat at all, so I'm not their target audience - but The Rock is literally walking charisma. That's why he's rich.

Do they ooze charisma?

I mean Bron Breakker is literally Rick Steiner's son - I'm not sure football can claim him.

Yeah man; it’s also taxing on the mental aspect of their lives. Granted, the industry is much, much better than it used to be from the late 70’s - early 2000’s, but it’s a tough career. One of my former colleague knew Sasha Banks growing up. It was a tough road to get to the top, a lot of back stage drama, back stabbing, plus u’re on the road about 80% of the year every year which leaves little time to recover from real injuries or mental breaks. It’s y the industry has a high turnover rate.

Wishing them the best, & hopefully they get that push to be at the very top. It can a lucrative career.

Maybe they can fill the void of The Bella Twins.

Wrestling is hard; ppl just throwing The Rock out there are forgetting The Rock came from a wrestling family. It’s an unforgiving business. Wish them the best & hope they give it 150%.

Absolutely correct. Had the opportunity to workout with one of the famous ones pretty regularly back in the 80s. He was always banged up. He lasted decades though.
Agree, I hope our Canes girls do really well. I know some folks think it's easy, but even the rehearsed stuff can be tough. Oh yeah, Go Canes.

The Rock also paid his dues in Memphis. I mean Flex Kavana.

Absolutely. Fa real started at the bottom & worked his way all the way to the top. But the best thing Rock did was parlay his career into films. John Cena took the same path.

Like some of the most iconic wrestlers in the industry at the very height of the profession never achieved, financially what The Rock did b/c he chose to use his platform to diverse his talents.

Hart’s approx Net Worth: $7m
Undertaker’s approx Net Worth: $17m
HHH approx. Net Worth: $25m
Hogan’s approx Net Worth: $30m
Austin’s approx Net Worth: $40m
Cena’s approx Net Worth: $80m
The Rock approx Net Worth: $800m

Rock is by the smartest business man of them all. Paid his dues, worked his way to the top, & as soon as he did, probably looked at a guy like Schwarzenegger who made his name known in body building community making a few millions in the industry, but became an icon & filthy rich as a movie star.
