No I don't think they do that, but it would be cool if they had a way to do it. Like if you had a good set people vote or something and make your name have more weight than a random person. Kind of like the NBA draft lottery
Tony is a HUGE wrestling fan. He often compares KT to the comedy version of pro wrestling. He loves the drama, the storylines. Wrestling is really athletes in a ring doing athletic things, but WHO is in the ring is predetermined. What is said outside the ring is planned.
There shouldn't be. The people sign up themselves. I guess they could try to cheat and sign up multiple times but God forbid they ever got pulled twice or they'd be banned from the show forever.
Tony has hinted that now, signing up requires an ID, so multiple signups or using alias’ is less likely now than it used to be (IIRC, there was one situation where someone signed up with their real name AND an alias, and both ended up getting pulled; and of course, there was the psychic chick fiasco as well)
Yeah and if you think back over the years any time anyone has even attempted to sign up more than once by using multiple names or come up to replace someone that wasn't there Redban practically exploded so I'm sure he's got some checks and balances in place.
There was the early bit of getting blackballed if you were called but didn’t come up. That was obviously BS (and declared as such by Tony years later), as Ali Macofsky was “blackballed” way before she became a regular.
lol, yeah I remember that
