Yeah, but your pops was grinding at a very different time. Grinding and also now the contracts are guaranteed and all this. Very, very different time. all that means to me and it's like it's a huge responsibility but like let's say a new wrestler just got put on like what does that look like wow man i don't know what our developmental i mean everything is is is six six figures you know what i'm actually i'm deferred because nick has a great nick con had a great quote about these guys are going to do well these guys are going to do really well and then these couple guys he named a few guys they're going to do next level and that next level pay is now comparable with sports and that's the part that i'm so proud of being a wrestler because when you hear baseball contracts and nba contracts and you know as a wrestler that you could go all over the world and be known and be seen but you weren't on that level you were on the level of penetration but not that level of income now uh modern tko and nick have made it that you are but is that going to change it you think that they're not those those contracts are not going to to go to the people who... Your dad's era. Yeah. Yeah.
