Would be kinda wild if basketball players went to play for the Harlem Globetrotters (or the Washington Generals), Marathon Oil, etc. or baseball players went to the Savannah Bananas and came back to school. Not that there's money in those entertainment sports relative to the WWE, but still.

Exactly. Both are entertainment in the same way that WWE is, and neither follow the "rules" of the sports that they're based on.  But there's no doubt both are forms of "professional" sports, just like WWE. So yeah, I would not be surprised if this is used as a precedent for MLB/MiLB, NFL, or NBA players to go back to college and compete. There is an argument to be made that it shouldn't be a precedent for that because WWE is scripted, but who knows if that is a strong enough argument to work.

Translation: He wanted to kick everyone's arse, but they wanted him to be a jobber.

Wwe is about personality.  Be the hero.  Be the heel.  It has (100%) some rooting in athleticism but if you have no personality you won’t survive.  You can ascertain if he had a personality or not that’s subjective and up for other humans to decide.
