The Strange Odyssey of Master P's No Limit Wrestler Brad Armstrong, May He Rest in Peace
Categories: Cunning Stunts
Unfortunately, P's stint with wrestling became even briefer than his time with the Toronto Raptors. Despite bragging his involvement would see the company sell-out the 55,000 seat SuperDome, P's contributions only lead to a total of 15,593 tickets sold. The broadcast that week only went up by 0.1 in the Nielsen Ratings, and would drop the following week to a number lower than before P first debuted. The company's predominantly-Southern fanbase vocally siding with the group's country music loving bad guy rivals, the West Texas Rednecks. Master P's $200,000 investment was a bust, and the No Limit Soldiers were quietly dissolved.
Armstrong went on to wrestle as a hippie, a hippie killer and, years later, eventually had stints behind the camera as a producer for WWE. After the birth of his daughter, he left the big time wrestling business to spend time with his family and volunteer at a school near his Kennesaw, Georgia home. Despite the group not making waves in the wrestling world, Armstrong remembered his time working with Master P fondly. "[He] wanted to be on wrestling and [he] got on. They just let him do his thing."
