I thought it was a little weird when John used the example of Nash and Hall as guys who went to a new company who didn’t just try and import their WWF characters - because that’s exactly what they did as “The Outsiders”, they were literally sued over it. They became divorced from the Diesel and Razor Ramon characters because they were forced to.
