When Jerry 'The King' Lawler drafted his personal dentist Isaac Yankem DDS - Kane in a smock - as foil for perpetual rival Bret Hart in 1995, many more discerning children quite rightly asked why a man who could reasonably expect to make upwards of $100,000 per year was diverting his attention to then less-than-glamorous climes of WWE. Presumably, he was in it to indulge the inner sadism inherent in all dental drillers.

A similarly logical question is why, given how crap the gimmick was, have supposedly game-changing AEW chosen to repeat it with their future superstar Dr. Britt Baker, dentist at arms? The answer to this one is much simpler: when she isn't pulling limbs, Baker is pulling teeth for real at her dental practice in Winter Park, FL. The question why she balances this lucrative career with wrestling remains. Tony Khan's sugar might be answer - even if she is professionally disapproving.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
