I speak to many of them weekly. Most are not really big wrestling fans so they don’t really know what’s happening weekly on TV. They do however know the names

I don’t want to detail it but one is a high up executive that I get drinks with weekly. It’s perception more than anything else. Remember they are not fans like us. They read and see the names

Because he had a return set for this month with a major program for SummerSlam
