 In October 1931, Savoldi signed a motion picture contract with Hollywood and committed to appear in football and wrestling pictures.In 1941, he brought a new energy drink to market, called Dropkick, The Drink For "All Americans".Despite excellent pre-sales, including a contract with the University of Notre Dame to feature the drink in their stadium during the 1942 season, the business venture fizzled when the United States entered the war, and the ensuing sugar rationing eliminated his ability to mass-produce the drink.
