I remember the game being awful. Me and my brother just had to agree to never grapple each other because they were impossible to win with 2 people mashing the controllers. If we did grapple, we paused the game and did rock paper scissors to see who would get to do a move.

I got mad and threw the controller more times than I can remember because my older brother wouldn't stop grappling. It was god drat infuriating.

He gambles and is dumb with money. I'm guessing he'll be broke in less than a decade.

It's really insane to me that people that rich don't just have someone with enough sense to tell them to squirrel away $10 million. Like Floyd, here's your play money. Please leave us enough money to live off of forever, but spend the rest how you want.

He can't even spell squirrel. He knows how to box and that is literally it. He couldn't even read his kids a bedtime story.

They do. It's just that those people tend to be as big an arsehole as the rich person is stupid and end up scamming/fleecing the money away.

Look at MC Hammer. Dude gave away/badly invested millions.

Then there's the Johnny Depp/Nicolas Cage situation, where the financial advisors are saying "hey maybe don't buy that 5th Lamborghini and don't invest in an ostrich farm. Please put some money away" and aren't listened to/blamed when things go wrong.

Most of them don't get anywhere near a Floyd-level rich phase, considering the rookie wage scale & all.

Popular culture has passed you by.
Do people that rich ever get poor again, though? Like, dirt poor? At least in Germany, if you scratched fame there will always be an endorsement deal or some schmuck who wants to hire you as a DJ or whatnot. Celebrities might have a hard time re-reaching "swimming pool full of diamonds" levels of wealth but they wont ever have to live in a flat as tiny as mine, either.

There's a 30 for 30 doc ESPN made about athletes who made obscene bank going broke. In one athlete's case, he actually tried to be sensible and invest but his advisor took him for a ride.

Yeah, there are more than a few cases where a former pro athlete in the U.S. ends up broke due in part to 'friends' and/or advisors taking advantage and bleeding all of the money that they can.

Clinton Portis, a really good NFL player, made more than $40 million during his career. A few years after he retired he was practically broke thanks to shady investments that went south alongside spending money on cars and other things, as if the money would disappear if he left it unspent for too long. It got to the point where Mr. Portis considered killing one of the guys that fleeced him, but his friends managed to talk him out of it by saying something along the lines of, "You've lost all of that money, but think about how much more you and the rest of your family (especially your kids) are going to lose if you go ahead and kill that guy."

Even then, Mr. Portis admitted during an interview that if he had spotted the guy during one of the times he spent sitting outside the office building where said advisor worked at, he'd probably be giving the interview from prison.

Living under a bridge, selling your Superbowl ring for Thunderbird or meth levels of poor, yes. It's not exactly common, but it has happened a couple times. "Died penniless" is also a phrase you hear thrown around about athletes from time to time, too.

They've announced 13 of this year's King of Trios teams and a bunch of them are guest teams because 1) it's in England and 2) the current Chikara roster is in the TNA ballpark of sad.

But if any guest trio has caught my eye, it's these guys.

also good: the attention paid to the balls, and (more evident in the full gif) the fact that the phantom dick is pretty dang big
