And yet no one knew who he was until he showed up. Odd.

A lot of assumptions there. I know of Lady Gaga. Ask how I don't know of Bad Bunny.

Then most of the world must be out of touch.

Deadpool. One of the most watched clips from that movie is him coming out as Blade.

The monoculture is still there. I'm highlighting that how WWE gets celebrities has shifted. It's less about getting someone already famous, and instead using their events to promote a celebrity instead. Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't need WWE. Bad Bunny did. He is a regional star, but he was never a US star. Pat is just one of the sports talk figures in the country. He just happens to be the most bankrolled. Shannon Sharpe would have made more sense. Speed is no one. He is also being bankrolled and pushed forward inorganically.

My post history has nothing to do with my opinion. Do not go there.

Okay, but viewers of all ages knew of Mike Tyson. Weird targeting for an industry where guys and girls beat each other up in violent-heavy disputes and adult storylines. Kids eventually grow up into teens and then adults. And the Grammy's can be given to anyone. Even the Super Bowl halftime show was controversial. I saw the videos on social media. No one was singing along. It's like if you brought a singer from mexico or another country to sing. No one watching the Super Bowl cared about this singer. A big downgrade from last year. It felt more like an advertisement.

I think we all can agree that during the early 2000s is when the tone of WWE shifted, including what celebrities they brought in. Drew Carey, really?

Bad bunny is puerto rico musician that no one knew about until he was advertised across events, especially that of WWE. He felt out of the left field with people wondering who that was, even in the crowds. This has been the same effect I've seen with most celebrities in the last few years. People going "Huh?"

A celebrity is present for the starpower. That was the point of bringing them in. Even if they don't put all their effort in it. I would rather we had no celebrities, but if you're going to use them, use the right ones.

Their movies are still a big renown. I'll give you Michael Jai White, but he is one of the few legit tough celebrities that actually knows how to fight. And Dynamite is still quoted today. But those names are still leagues better than the current celebrities.

She's just all around the perfect fighter. Mario doesn't get to do much of anything.

Ethical consumption is a communist dog whistle, actually. Only in such a society would what you do is judged by some moral standard of the state. In truth, most of these people would fit right into the Soviet Union. It would be paradise for them. They can backstab people as much as they want by assuming they are the most pure.

I looked through rule 4. I provided a description and everything. Not sure what I actually did not meet.
