I think this topic needs to be discussed. Everyone knows about the Madden curse, right? Basically where the cover athlete on the Madden video game has a bad year after being on the cover.

Well, it seems there maybe something similar with Cyclone Fanatic’s wrestling NIL deals.

Last year it was Paniro. He gets his shirts dropped just before the end of the season, then goes on and has a disastrous NCAA tournament and subsequent gambling issues. This year, same thing happened with Yonger.

I think you need to more than two examples for it to be a curse. Hell, even chain letters give more than two examples.
