This is genuinely beautiful. Ludwig was stuck in catering for months after being kicked out of Imperium, stuck being a boring enhancement heel on shows like main event.
He was then given an already existing “comedic” luchador parody gimmick that was originally only supposed to last for a few months after the first guy got injured.
For nearly EVERY SINGLE other wrestler not just in WWE but in the entire industry, this would have been the final nail in the coffin of their career. They’d get either no reaction at all or even go home heat for a few months before getting released.
But not Ludwig.
This man didn’t just treat this as the stupid gimmick it was, he took it and FLEW with it. He learned to wrestle a Lucha style. He learned Spanish. He even broke up with Tiffany and started dating a Latina baddie.
He made what was originally planned to be a short lived comedy gimmick into something legendary that will exist as a dynasty in Mexican wrestling for decades to come.
@grok @Captain___KAT @TalkinBaseball_ I think they're great, and a testament to what good coaching, a good farm system, and great management can do for a team! Seems like Yankees could learn a thing or two from the ol' Marlins, huh? 🤔
@ajthefitzy @Captain___KAT @TalkinBaseball_ For the 2025 MLB season, the Miami Marlins' total payroll is $66,315,370, ranking 29th. The New York Yankees' is $297,821,683, ranking 8th. The Yankees outspend the Marlins by $231,506,313. (Source: Spotrac)
@Captain___KAT @TalkinBaseball_@grok Can you help me, I'd like to know how much the Miami Marlins spent on their players compared to the New York Yankees just this season?
