Comment on AI-created “virtual influencers” are stealing business from humans
StorminNorman@lemmy.world 1 year agoNo probably about it, he’s one of their top paid stars (although still a ways off of Roman reigns and Lesnar). Which is wild given he only wrestled 6 times this year. But he brings eyes to the product, so WWE have done the maths and deemed it to be worthwhile.

Honestly, he genuinely appears to love beating the crap out of people (and getting the crap beat out of him) in a highly dramatized, highly publicized way.
While I personally would never want to do something like that as a huge part of my life… it seems to tick all his boxes and thus I am actually happy for him.
If he can focus on this and stop running ludicrous crypto scam after some other kind of scam, then good.

I am a terrible watcher of wrestling. I’ll watch a show, then not watch one for two years. But I caught his SummerSlam match, and the kid can go. Like, he had all the fundamentals down. The whole going slow that takes forever for wreztlers to learn. He can sell moves with the best of em. His moves were super crisp. Calling the next sequence etc. Do I think he’s way overpaid? Yes. Do I hate that some internet guy is being made famous when they squander literal Olympic level wrestlers? Yes. But, I mean, he’s putting out good matches…
