Inspired by a post in the thread about Jeff Jarrett being released. I agree with what Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story said in that thread. It might not be a full fledged promotion, but he’s certainly been dipping his toes in the water of doing something like that for some time. |

One off cards here and there... I could see it. A full fledged promotion??? That's a good way for Conrad to die. The guy is already over-extended (doing podcasts with others that are over-extended...hi Bruce). Maybe I'm wrong... but a guy that is "just a fan that does mortgages" wouldn't have time to be a full time wrestling promoter... I guess maybe Jarrett would be the full time guy using Conrad's money? I don't know... maybe it would work, but when would the guy sleep?

Knowing that there's even a chance of people like Bruce Prichard and Flair being involved makes me pray that this never happens.

Not only would Flair and Prichard be involved, but Conrad would probably put himself on TV as a character (probably some kind of authority figure). |

If he had to be on TV, I hope the temptation to make himself a lovable face authority figure wouldn’t be too much for him. Face Conrad would be awful as a wrestling character. Heel Conrad could be bad too, but Conrad doing a 180 from his podcast persona would be more intriguing. He could call himself Connie and use that Chris Rock line from Down to Earth. “Bitch, I’ll crush you with my wallet.” |

I don't think he's looking to start a promotion with a TV deal. I think it's more likely he's going to tour the south with a mix of legends and indie talent and do a larger card for Fite TV here or there. That's my guess. I wouldn't be surprised if Jeff finagling the live events job helped give him more color on how WWE does things, too.
I don't think you'll see Commissioner Conrad or Casio the Commentator anytime soon.

"not much known about this new promotion, except uh, IT WILL SUCK, we know that, so they might have trouble getting advertisers when we know IT WILL SUCK"  |

LOL Oh god, I've tried to. He's the reason I unsubscribed to the Schiavone podcast. As much as I love Tony Schiavone, I can't take that risk of accidentally hearing Casio Kid. |

LOL A quick way to get me to hit the X button on my browser, tried listening to him a few weeks back when he subbed for Conrad and I clicked out after a few minutes. |

I do think that if the Flair's Last Match show was a financial success, Conrad will end up doing more shows, but I can't imagine he'd have the time or inclination to try to do it on a regular basis.

The ringside area would look like Chick Hicks from the Cars movies with all the ads.
