Then they can talk things like video games.">"That seems like maybe putting the cart before the horse...They definitely need to focus on building the company's foundation before focusing on superfluous junk like video games.""Actually they have the shell of a company. Barely a roster, no TV/PPV deals, so far they have nothing which makes all the hype absurd. "
