After challenging Dawn Wall, TK reissued a lucrative contract to Knight, which had led many to speculate whether Knight would retire from challenges altogether.
After all, the competitive world had seen many greats quickly retire after obtaining enough fame, money, and reputation.
They were worried that their reputation might plummet following future losses, which would be followed by the infamy of failure and a drastic decline in financial income.
So, people also worried, with money, will Knight change?
It seems to be an eternal question: will men become bad when they have money? Will athletes become complacent? Will the proletariat become another capitalist with money?
Money seems to be the original sin that leads things to go awry.
