Also notice that Mr. T and LT were more athletes than say Amell, Bad Bunny, and JellyRoll.
So because you like the way their muscles look it's okay? A celebrity is a celebrity my guy.
Not, athletes are not the same as a actor or talk show host.
Fam you can make all the caveats you want to make yourself feel better. Shit Andy Kaufman was wrestling women and Jerry Lawler back in the day. You keep moving those goal posts kid. Have a good day
No, I am not. It has went from a rarity, like Kaufman and Mr. T to nearly expecting them to bring a celebrity into the ring to achieve something. It's a trope now.
Last point and then I'm done. Nobody in the original conversation said anything about tropes. That is an aspect you brought in. I said celebrities in wwe have been a thing which they have. You're wrong and that's okay. Bye
True, but then the next one would be years later with LT. And after that... Amell. Then it started to really pick up and be more of a trope now, unlike it was then.
I mean for the WWE maybe, but WCW also had celebrities wrestling, Dennis rodman, Karl Malone, David Arquette was champion. Y'all are acting like it's this weird new thing when it's absolutely not if you look at the history of wrestling. And I could be wrong WWE could have had more I don't remember.
Arquette would be the only one you can compare to Amell, Bunny, and JellyRoll. Rodman and Malone were athletes. You could have mention Leno though.
And even then it's not a standard thing that would be a trope as it is today.
