Every walk of life offers a peon. There are winners and then there are the people that simply do not matter. The HWF has had its fair share of pawns. Travis Miller and Chris Newton are two examples of athletes that tried to disturb the hierarchy of power, but were simply far too one dimensional to test any of the big boys.

It’s people like this that offer very little in terms of quality but always keep a place ticking over due to their sheer weight of numbers. They’re everywhere. Sometimes you can’t even move backstage because of them. Guys on the inside would argue that their mere existence is an annoyance.

I’d say it’s a necessity for the survival of the board.

They represent an easy victory that is pretty much meaningless to the power players of the board. Even if you destroy six or seven of these in quick succession, you don’t feel as if you’ve achieved anything. At the end of the day, you know that the stronger challenges remain and you’ve done very little to unnerve them.

We’re talking about cannon fodder here. Nothing more and nothing less.
