There seems to be zero upside to Gable coming back to Minnesota

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

It doesn't make Minny a title contender.  Gable won't be challenged and will easily win another HWT title.  No one will blink if he does, but if he loses it will be like Spencer getting pinned by Ramos.  Is he getting a huge NIL payment?  If not, I can't imagine how it makes sense as an Olympic Champion and 2x NCAA champ and current WWE wrestler to come back to college.  He could have at least joined Iowa and made the team race interesting.

 

If anything coming back is, at best, a lateral move and more realistically, a demotion.

Well it’s a good thing he doesn’t need your approval. There’d be zero upside to me returning to college rn too but if someone paid me 6 figures to go back, hang out with my buddies and coaches I’ve known since I was 16, and have fun competing, I’d be jumping all over it!

Is it confirmed he's getting paid 6 figures to come back?

It’s confirmed that it’s not any of our business, but he ain’t coming back for free.

I'll bite here, just because I don't want people to be more stupid after reading this stupid OP.

Him coming in allows Joles to go 197 which in turn also ensures that both Max McNelly and Gavin Nelson both get to redshirt this season.

Then both of them can run four years with Hopke as a 8-9-10 punch (Hopke to not redshirt).

Fckn idiot.

[headshuck]

Maybe he wants to coach

[Dogbone]

His highest "value" was probably after he won NCAAs or the Olympics.  His star has dulled a little.

Doing a backflip after winning another title with 300,000 people watching on ESPN will probably help his "value" again.   

[headshuck]

How much do you think he pocketed for what you perceive as his last star value? Now he might get to ramp up and take a run at a consecutive gold medal? I wish I would have had his problems at age 21.

If Steveson is getting paid anything less than six figures, given his star power, he would literally be better off being a wanker analyst for literally any F500.

I'm sure JPM Chase or Deloitte or any other company with a fck-all starfcker MD would be salivating to bring in the shiny new toy to show off for a cost against the books of $100,000. Being rather conservative for multi-million deals, that's approximately thirteen "seal the deal" client dinners at that level ($6,500 for the group). Eleven if you count the office Christmas party in the mix. Bringing a gold medalist to dinner is a quick winner winner chicken dinner and typically pays for itself somewhere between year one and two.

But let's not bring reality into this hatefest. Steveson hustled wrestling fans and he is going to get a free pass for it.

In Minnesota they call it duck-duck-grey duck

Is this Fauxbon #1 or Fauxbon #2? I get you fake posters from the old board mixed up. It's like the old pro wrestling from the 70's and 80's when you had two masked guys that looked the same, then they would trick the ref.

Good post Bon. With good responses

9th best storyline: Gable back to Minnesota.

Best storyline: Gable joins Iowa second semester along with Ferrari. The two form an unbeatable tag team WWE tag team team!
