Yes you got an excuse for everything when it comes to Wlad, Lyle. The only lineal HW champ not to get picked up by HBO or Showtime. Didn't happen to other ones but your boy. Face it he's considered to be boring by hardcore and casual fans. And Vitali/Arreola had high ratings, maybe just maybe because 15% of the American population is Hispanic and Arreola is one? I'm pretty sure that didn't have anything to do with Arreola trying to become the 1st Mexican-American to win a HW title and HBO high ratings.
