Round Robin

[Montague]

Ab-so-freakin'-lutely !!!!!!!  Flair always put over his opponent, win or lose and that separates him from Hogan and Hellwig who's characters depended on them winning ALL the time, same with Goldberg too.  I remember hearing Flair talk about it one time saying that he wanted the top guy in each territory to be a "threat" to him every time he went to the territory.  It just made business sense and he "got it."  Hogan was just fed a new monster each month that VKM would bring in and after losing to Hogan he would job all the way to the urinals in the mens room for the rest of his WWF run.  It also killed them going somewhere else and anybody caring about them again.

In less than 12 months time, Bundy went from main-eventing WM in Chicago to working a mixed tag with the midgets in Detroit.
But, he saved his money and didn't have to stick around for the daft shit.

He did make several sporadic WWF returns and even works some indy event today, but I don't get the impression the guy is starving.

No pun intended right? 

He is one of the very few who understood to save because you weren't going to get a second run during that time period.

Ha! I didn't think of it that way until now.
But, both are correct, actually.

I've only heard good things about Bundy, including his level-headedness.
The one promotion I worked for brought him in for a show.
He worked heel, but was VERY nice to the fans, taking pictures with kids in the ring during intermission, etc.
Kayfabe was a moot point by then.

Just as a reference to the ability to draw money, Superstar Billy Graham was headliner at 20 shows in Madison Square Garden in the 70's and sold out 19 of them.  i think he was 10 for 10 as WWWF Champ.  A 95% sell-out ratio is great no matter how you compare it to other eras, television exposure, pay-per-views etc.  Guys like Sammartino, Backlund and Hogan headlined MSG many more times than Graham during the 60's to the start of the pay-per-view era, but nobody had a sell-out percentage that high.
