Diego is really good and I enjoy his effortless style. Why he decided to leave Primitive is beyond me.
Primitive is like the Yankees...they will always have fans and make money.
April is like Florida Marlins...bandwagon fans when their doing well...and no money to sign good talent. Eventually you even re-brand and change your name to the Miami Marlins with a new stadium.....and guess what?
No one cares
While P-Rod and Shane are both ultra-tech/contest guys. P-Rod actually has charisma and seems to legitimately care about Primitive as a brand. April comes across as something Shane made because everyone told him he was so good he should have his own brand. It has less of an identity than Numbers did.
I think this point is spot on. Paul had years to think up the branding of Primitive and how he wanted the company to be seen.
Essentially, a modern day Plan B (Questionable / Virtual Reality Era)
Whereas, April is called April because Shane has no idea how to run a business, how to brand a business, and how to build an elite team that everyone will want to follow.
Instead, he hires a bunch of dudes that just skate street league with him
