A Wrestling-Operated Consumer Collection Agency

By Rob Sutter


As a big fan of professional wrestling, I've seen more than my fair share of characters that were only in the business for the money. There was no prior love to the spectacle to begin with and they only saw it as a paycheck. As a fan, this has rendered me irate but at the same time, I feel like such a motivation can be great for a heel, or villain, character. People such as these are easier to hate and when you put into the mind the idea of a corrupt consumer collection agency, the villainy is accentuated more so.

If a promoter has the will to put a corrupt consumer collection agency to use as far as wrestling storylines go, it's imperative that the opposite of what a good company would do should be focused in on. An ethically good company such as Rapid Recovery would make certain that all rules are followed and that all parties come to an agreement in which everyone feels they've been treated fairly. The very opposite should be keyed in on so that a villainous company is brought into fruition that much more easily. If you want a good example, think back to the Corporation which was popular back in the 90's in WWE.

If I had to think of one modern figure that could lead such a villainous consumer collection agency, it would probably have to be Michael Cole. I can already heard the groans and sighs from you, dear reader. The guy who sits at the commentating booth, calling matches while being an insufferable maggot at the same time? It might seem like a stretch but think about it. Who else will the crowd hate more than the guy they're forced to listen to, not once but twice every week on WWE television?

Michael Cole, like him or not, fits the mold of what a managerial heel should be. He's a slimy little troublemaker that sits at commentary, almost using his position as protection from attacks when he's truly at as much danger as the wrestlers who compete on a regular basis. From big names like John Cena to lesser ones like Zack Ryder, it seems like every single person and their mother has taken a crack at Cole at some point. He's one of the weakest commentators as far as knowledge and likability are concerned, so he may just be the best bet to run a corrupt organization, only in existence to make money.

There are collection companies that are good, such as Rapid Recovery, and these have proven themselves to be reputable. The ones that are less than reputable, however, are the most fun to use in the fictional sense. Some of the most ideal storylines have one rebellious force, whether a sole person or a group, versus an entire legion that craves power and money. Is such a storyline an exaggeration of real life? It may very well be but at the same time, professional wrestling exaggerates many real-life scenarios, so it's strangely fitting after all.
