The brother of Pitbull (*at least MMA folks will get it).

I said it four years ago when he had both Alien: Covenant and All the Money in the World in the same year that he's somehow more active in as he advances in age. He's already working on his next one after these two.

You jinxed (or reversed jinxed?) it. I feel like this is the end for Ms. Montano in the UFC.

I doubt it would be Bellator, but if Bellator somehow pulled off Fedor vs. Brock in Fedor's last ever MMA fight, that would be hilarious. There are like 3-5 MMA insiders. Half of them are kinda shaky when it comes to breaking news.

I was gonna say the same exact same thing. This triggered some PTSD type shit.

Unless it was Jeff Hardy taking some insane bump, the Pounce didn't look that painful. Guys were basically flying in the air as soon as he made contact. Goldberg use to grab rolling leglocks like he was in a real fight. He would get full extension on kicks like he was really trying to drive through the target. He would throw people around kinda carelessly and just trying to muscle them up. It's not like they were sandbagging him. It makes it seem like Goldberg didn't know (or simply didn't believe) the other guy is in on it being a work.

Add in the fact, Bill being green and getting himself hyped before matches like he was about to hit the gridiron was a recipe for him not protecting people in ring. If he wasn't a Power Plant product and had seasoning before WCW, I think that would change the trajectory of his career. 90% of his shit looked dangerous and like it hurt because it probably did. That helped get him over. WWE being WWE won't produce a new Goldberg clearly, but at the same time, a guy coming up through the ranks now doing what he did would get a nice talking to from the agents. And maybe for good reason.

Richard was pretty damn prominent early on in their careers and very vocal. Tiger's father wasn't in the limelight like that IIRC. And to me, a film specifically centered around Venus and Serena right now would be strange even though Serena appears to be very, very close to the end of her career. A big part of the film would have to be devoted to their dad either way.

Who is gonna have to tell Vince you can't use spade in that connotation anymore? I feel someone will need to gently break that news to him.

I wouldn't doubt it, but I doubt it's on the level of what she could paid as an athlete or TV star. The one thing that is probably (I would even lean towards likely) hurting her supplemental income is the fact she's no longer a UFC poster girl and BKFC isn't that visible out of niche fight fans. UFC got her on Dancing with the Stars. BKFC at best will probably get her in a C & D level celebrity softball game or something. She's doing way more for them (even if her PPVs aren't doing anything) than the promotion is doing for her. At least if she was with AEW, she could host or co-host some game show on TBS or do something else inside the extended WarnerMedia family. I would assume that same would go if she was with WWE and NBCUniversal and/or Fox. Hell, some of her fights years ago were on FS1 and Fox (one of the highest rated UFC on Fox shows was PVZ vs. Michelle Waterson). She couldn't land a gig there?

Based on what's she making in BKFC, she's going to come for a hefty price tag ($1 million but I'm definitely assuming it's not a million guaranteed). And based on the lack of draw she's been since she left UFC, I doubt she would be worth it. That said, I think she would be more worthwhile in pro wrestling than MMA or boxing. She's just average at best at fighting. As a fighter, she peaked five or six years ago. She's still young enough to where if she wanted learn how to wrestle, she could do that awhile and then have more than enough time to raise a family afterwards. Moreover, I think what she is probably making now has probably priced her out of Bellator if and when BKFC cuts bait (she's 0-2 on a four fight deal so it could be sooner rather than later). Her only options in a year or two will probably be WWE or AEW.
