What are some wrestling investments that went horribly wrong? There’s a lot of them, but I distinctly remember WWE shilling the hell out of Tout.

This is still one of the stranger things I've ever seen on television.

I still have no idea what Jarrett was thinking with this. Didn’t he make this only because his share of TNA got bought out or something?

I don’t remember this. What was this about?

The Undertaker lost his ass in real estate, hence he keeps coming back for big-money payoffs.

Thanks anons. It’s been on my mind for a while what happened to the company.
>>12941711
Around that time, Nitro Grill was in WCW, so most likely yeah. I could see WWF making a killing off it.

The World Bodybuilding Federation. Early 90s, Vince decided to take on Joe Weider. Did a couple of awful, though hilarious, PPVs and a shitty TV show. No-one was interested, the wrestlers were having their pay cut to pay for it all (whilst the bodybuilders were on guaranteed contracts), and then the steroid trial hit so it had to be shut down.

Tout was so fricking cringey and I didn't even know what it was.

>>12941541
AEW is definitely cringey.

This was hilarious and I kept hoping that he'd keep the salesman gimmick.

If you clicked this ad when he was running it, it led to a scam, but you’d get a free signed picture of good ol Jeff Jarrett as compensation.

Oh it was super cringe. One of their main features was Tensai doing promos for it. Shit got so much heat that they had to change up Tensai completely

If they called it the Smackdown hotel and they had big names commonly appearing at it and fighting inside of it in the Pool and Casino area in PPVs in Las Vegas then yes
