    GrapeTV would have hooked men, because of the goofy grape dancing. It would have hooked the women, because every woman I knew liked a jacked black guy in his underwear dancing, and it would have hooked fruit of the loom as a sponcer. Because EVERYONE wears underwear.

    I like your optimism but no, no it wouldn’t lol.

    Dancing grapes would not have hooked men. No more than the dancing fucking turkey did years before, or the myriad of dancing idiots since. The bulk of viewers don’t want to see dancing during their pro wrestling shows (unless if it’s hot women due to the majority demo, and even that died out a long time ago.)

    A big jacked black guy dancing in his underwear would not have hooked women, because the *literal entire show is big jacked black (and white) guys in their underwear ‘dancing’ around. They already got the eye candy they need, wasting a 10min segment does nothing to boost that.

    FotL absolutely could have been a sponsor and would have, but WWE also wasn’t hurting for sponsors.
