Gable Steveson

[Disappointed_Badger_Fan]

So I just seen he got released from wwe. Is there any chance we can get a wrestle off before the Olympics.

[JimmyBT]

I just hope he gets back into freestyle.  World champ added to that gold medal would be nice. 

[BuckyBadger]

Man, they would have released him before trials.

[headshuck]

Branvold might be ready a head coach position opening up a spot for Gable at HWT U.

[Caveira]

I Google the #.    How on earth do you not know you’re about to be fired?   He had one televised match in 3 years right?   He absolutely does not deserve a wrestle off.

No and nor should he.

Not for him. He chose his path and now is Mr. Irrelevance.

He can join Rulon as a perennial name to come up with each Olympic cycle.

This sucks, but a wrestleoff would undermine Parris and cause a lot of commotion no matter the outcome. 
 

he’s turned his attention from int. wrestling, I don’t blame him, but USA wrestling cannot bend over for him just bc he’s down on his luck now. 

[Wrestleknownothing]

I look forward to hearing how he got here. By here I mean someone who doesn't matter.

From the first big NIL/employment contract, to a slow slide toward irrelevance, to a series of flirtations with returning to the place he has relevance, to a weird backtrack, to a fast slide to finally arrive at irrelevance just in time to miss out by mere weeks a chance to matter again.

I would love to here his version of conversations had with WWE bosses and the decisions made. Knowing what both parties know now I have to believe neither would have chosen that contract followed by a waste of so many prime years.

No third NCAA title, no World title, no second Olympic title, no WWE success either. At what price?

Exactly. Could have done it all and probably still landed in WWE. Maybe Another lesser promotion picks him up or he capitalized off his “comeback” to USA wrestling.

Well it will be interesting to see what Gable’s next move will be, does he return to wrestling or does he move on to MMA. I am sure Dana White would love to have him. But it could be that Gable has other plans altogether.

UFC is owned by the same parent company as WWE, and at this point, UFC is more about entertainment than actual athletics/competition.  It would have made zero sense to keep him hidden for three years and then have him try UFC.

His brother Bobby is still on the WWE roster and performs for NXT.  Apparently he is a much better showman than Gable.

He is still younger then everyone on the Olympic team except brooks , he can step back into training tomorrow and by next year the spot is his 

[Dark Energy]

Hoping he has pocketed at least $500k he can invest.  Don’t touch.  With real rate of return of 5% he can have almost $3M in today’s dollars in 35 yrs or perhaps $6M+ in nominal terms.  Good nest egg for retirement.  And that is before he adds to it from whatever career he picks.

He can't have an Olympic spot until 2028 when the games will be held in Los Angeles, CA.

His planning so far shows he and his team of advisors don't know how to plan worth a damn.

Did you just come from the personal finance subreddit?

Rulon is more accomplished than Gable.  Two Oly Medals and a World Gold

Gable is a pup. Let him grow up.

This. Sometimes people try stuff and it isn't the right fit for them. That's one way you learn and grow.

Real rate of 5%? Where do you get that today?

[Lunaticfringe]

If he follows Nancy Pelosi stock moves, he will have a 50% rate of return

[Chief_Illiniwek]

Is he able to use his last year of eligibility? 

[Le duke]

Correct.

Assuming he hasn’t messed himself up physically in pre-WWE, he could very well come back and make multiple Olympic teams.

Maybe this will light a fire under his ass and he’ll light up Zare/Massoumi in 2028 for, and in front of, the good ol’ US of A.

Reasonable long term - market return of 7-8% and inflation in the 2.5% range.  Market has far surpassed that the past 5, 10, 15 and 20 yr periods.  Doesn’t guarantee future but I went with a reasonable figure.
