You'd be wise to link excepts from press releases or articles like this.

Even though this might be a troll job it makes me wonder with Tito being on the Apprentice and having connections with Trump if he will not be not only fighting there but also have an executive role in the company.

Cool, I hope tito joins Affliction as well. Might end up being a good organization.

[jakeharris74]

I think we know where Tito is heading next.

[Bluphysted]

Wow.

That's actually pretty huge, if it's legit.

[etenightstar]

Good for the back end for them but its not going to help their promotional abilities to draw fans in anyway.

His hair aside, I do believe Trump has a sincere appreciation of and respect for the athletes. That's good and might be the yin to the business minded, money hungry yang of it all. A bit like Dana but with hair.
