I don't know if I'd even want to be involved in the business anymore.
Any major promotion comes with the Guilt By Association of being in the same company as either Bad People with Bad Views or people with Sexual Assault allegations against them.

I have bad knees and a bad back. I'm out of shape, unless you count round. I can't wrestle.
I would be perfect as the NWA Champion.

Back June 2020 myself and a buddy almost bought a 18 foot wrestling ring.
Local promoter was shutting down and sold his ring,for cheap with a trailer.
Already had a vehicle to pull it. Had a place to store it.
And the price it was sold for,would only take 7 shows of renting it out ot be making money.
Took us 5 days to decide to make an offer, and the ring had sold earlier that day.
Might have been fun to own a ring. I still gotta figure out a way to make a ring float on a lake to make Hurricanrana Lake Havoc a reality.

If I was a wrestler.....I'm wearing a Mask ala The Assassin and my style would be a hybrid of Arn Anderson and Kauzo Yamazaki, UWF meets Southern Wrasslin. But in truth, I would try to book.

I’d probably be a brawler who strangely enough, uses a sumbission finisher (Either the Rings Of Saturn or the CHIKARA Special).

I did work, but before social media was a thing. Don't know what exactly, but I would use social media to advance my character. I really don't get why more people use it as a tool.
Do indie people see all the bookings Cardona gets and think "nah"?

Do indie people see all the bookings Cardona gets and think "nah"? With some of the guys they are happy being a name in their area. For example Faroh of Phunk. Doubt anyone besides me and Wildo had heard of him before I started posting videos here. But in MS he is a minor celeb. And Faroh is happy with that. He can go do 2 or so shows a month. His wife runs his table. His kids are running around playing with the other talent's kids. And he makes enough to supplement his Mon-Friday shoot job pay. Down this way the ones really using social media are the younger talent. And the few vets that grew up tech savy and realized by connecting to fans outside the area that 20 bucks shirt they can sell at say a SWO event,is now 25 plus shipping when sold to Mandy Seab from Minerva Ohio. With Cardona he gets piles of bookings cause even now he is still EX WWE talent. For example look at Chris Masters. Been what over 10 years since he was in WWE. Still any indie show I see him on or at it is WWE's Chris Masters. To the average fan at the average indie,not the indies that are aimed at the IWC,any EX WWE name is a draw. Saw one show maybe 9 months before he died where Rosey had a line at least 45 minutes long for signed 8x10s and pics. He was so large by this time all he did in his match was walk slowly around the ring. Climb the stairs. Tag in throw a few punches then tag in his partner for the pin. Still Ex WWE name so a draw. No hate on Cardona's social media work. He has learned how to work all the angles on that stuff.

I would hire Vince Russo and give him full creative control.

We’ve probably all thought about this at some point. If you were employed in the wrestling industry what would you want to be? If as a wrestler what’s your name? Gimmick? Finisher? Maybe you’d want to be manager, referee, booker, run your own company, etc… When when I was young I wanted to wrestle, but I never did it outside of playing around with friends and ext. But never had my own ring name or ext. I was more into the running of the company side. Be in charge of hiring and firing but have creative input as well. I have over the years had so many IMO good ideas that could turn a company around or take it to the next level. The most recent would been the NWA like three years ago. Like I had a month to month plan. Who was bring brought in or back. What was the main angle and so forth. Of course fantasy booking kind of way but this was more of a realistic could have been done kind of deal. Like every wrestler was either a free agent or was working in away of making appearances in the US. The other time I had something like this was MLW in the 2004. Couldn't remember a lot of it though. the NWA I can recall a lot of it pretty well.
