Discussion Topic: Can Sasso get Sponsorship?
Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on July 2, 2021

There's only a handful of wrestlers in the country who I could see making some significant cash off their name. Sasso is one of the name. He has the right name, the right look and the right style.

Who could you see paying him?

Incidentally, Gas Tank Gary probably could have made a bit of cash if things had worked out.

Not sure tOSU has the fan base to really make Sasso a lot of money.

I’d imagine a guy like Ferrari might make a bit of coin down at OSU.

How about a nice Sammy Sasso poster showing him pinning some guy? Youth wrestlers all over the state would snap it up. Could be sold online.

Logan could have made a fortune on posters. Same for Tom Rowlands. Nato and Snyderman too.

I would think there would be a market for “posterized” wrestling photos of the more successful/popular NCAA wrestlers.

This is going to get interesting...

thankfully this should do away with nonsense like ohio states 2010 "trinkets for tats" persecutions by the NCAA (with ESPN & Desmond Howard piling on with glee). A misdameanor even back then.

now if we could only do away with other crap like a few years ago ESPNs obsession with blaming Urban Meyer for another man allegedly abusing his wife in their bad marriage.

I didn't think of this at first when I saw Hank's post, but looking back I don't know why it didn't jump out at me: Anthony Echemendia. He loves posting stuff on social media (and it looks like he goes shirtless almost as much as A.J. Ferrari), he was talking about NIL from the get-go, and judging by his Twitter it looks like he already has a sponsorship/partnership.

Evidently Sammy is one of a handful of wrestlers (so far) to gain a sponsor:

Can they now run their own summer camps without limits?
