Yeah…I’m gonna be that guy. I’m a longtime wrestling fan from New York. Referee Danny Davis is still the more important of the two. Behind the scenes wrestling stories are dope, we all love insider knowledge, and all respect due to the guys who actually made the shows we love, but nobody cares about the show runners, we care about the stars-even bit players like Disco are inherently more interesting. Cornette, Bischoff, yes, these guys were also promoters or bookers et al, but we care who THEY are today bc they were onscreen, not because they made the Business. Plus the idea that a wrestler/referee from the 80s might also or later be a wrestling promoter is not less strange than two guys with the same (admittedly generic) name in the same business at the same time. It’s not impossible but why would Jim assume we fans knew wtf was going on in the business side of SMW? Maybe it’s just me…
