"he showed so much heart." theyve been selling you this angle themselves for years.

you don't want to put him under every night but you dont want him looking like he's better either. and certainly not have him running around puffing his chest talking about how he's gonna beat people up.

you want him desperately fighting like his life depends on it and preferably guys who are larger than him. you structure his matches like an 80s midsouth baby. the drama should be in the struggle.

if you, perhaps wisely, dont want to mention mma (and again perhaps you shouldnt) you simply build the angle around his long absence and his age. can i still keep up? this is a tried and true angle that has worked for 70 years.

the angle is he needs to prove he's the best in the world. to himself.
That’s good stuff.
