:what:WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HOF PLAYERS
WANT TO INTERVIEW CELEBRITIES FOR A LIVING BREAUGH?

DUDES WANT TO GET ON TV
AND TALK SPORTS.

STRAHAN WANTES TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.
:devil:
:evil:


for the kind of money he's getting, I'm sure many would EASY.

he gets 20 mill annually from GMA/ABC fam.

Good/famous athletes are also kind of used to that limelight and environment with interviewing and shyt, so the transition isn't that hard (which is where I agree with you).

But to act like a lot of these retired cats wouldn't do that shyt for 20 mill though?

I don't disagree.

the job itself isn't "hard"

the work he put in to get to where he is now is definitely him grinding his ass off.

:yeshrug: It's not that hard to do better after wrestling. Even top wrestlers don't make the money LIKE THAT

I mean Brock Lesnar was the #1 wrestler financially last year at 12 Million. Cena #2 at 8million and Triple h at 3 Million at #3

Brock Lesnar - pg.2

Compare that to players from professional teams. Many NBA role players make more annually than Brock.

That's not a lot of money considering the wear and tear and travel associated with wrestling.
Wasnt really looking at the money angle, I was talking about leaving wrestling and now being possibly the number one movie star on the planet. As someone who followed him from the flex kavana days, its pretty unreal how big he became in that industry. Name another wrestler that has even achieved half of what he has aftr wrestling, in another industry..maybe brock? Batista is on his way but will never be a lead man....Hogan did ok but had to come back full time cause his movies bombed. My nieces know him as Dwayne Johnson, have no idea he ever wrestled.:yeshrug:

GTFOH

DONT COMPARE REACHING THE HIGHEST PINACLE OF YOUR SPORT
TO INTERVIEWING PPL WHO REACHED THE HIGHEST PINACLE OF THE FIELD.

YOU DONT NEED SKILLS TO DO THAT BULLshyt.
A SMILE AND DECENT LOOKS WILL DO.

:devil:

I used to think like that...

...but pick up your phone and talk about something for 10 minutes.

Watch how boring you sound...how you cant speak clearly.
Its harder than you think
