Before he was ever The Blue Meanie, Brian Heffron used to wrestle on the undercard of Sabu's NWA shows in Michigan (most of Al Snow's former students did).

His ring name was Brian Rollins.

I hope he was doing a Henry Rollins gimmick.

WWF "tribute shows" were a thing in the UK in the early 2000s, and apparently drew quite well.

Bizarrely enough they're still going strong fella, with this same crew, and even with the resurgence of promotions in the UK. You tend to see them in coastal towns once a year, kids seem to love it which is weird as none of the 'characters' are relevant.

Wasn't UBAS also Tiger Ali Singh's man servant, Babu?

Yes, he also worked for ECW and worked in Puerto Rico as Pablo Marquez.

So WWE isn't the only promotion that can't let go of the Attitude Era?

Surprised they haven't made one of those "When you order authentic, when you order from Ali Express" meme's with this poster.

Oh boy... I’m confused as fuck. Did he understand what he was signing when he signed his 5-year deal? Him, Jinder, and Mojo(Probably others) weren’t going to be needed, like ever. They were guinea pigs to show that the WWE was serious about paying anybody that was either useful, or useless to them to sit on the sidelines.

Bennett leaving would kill about half of Heyman's booking ideas.  I mean where is he going to get his cuck obsession from

So will he end up the most overpaid guy in Ring of Honor not named Matt Taven or the most overpaid guy in AEW not named Jack Swagger

The more legitimate the draft is supposed to be, the less interesting it is. The only benefit to it is that it's generally an engine for surprises. From Brock in the first one to NXT callups to new debuts. If the entire pool is known, the entire exercise just becomes tedious.
