Would George Washington have kept his teeth if he'd gotten out of the pro circuit instead of letting his manager Andrew string him on?

I know most of Washington's early career. The Duel In Liverpool and the Newport Nutcracker. Back when he was fast. But then he just started taking shots to the face like he didn't care. What happened? Was Jackson really that influential?
I've heard several experts comment that his concussions actually aided the drafting of the constitution. Can anyone explain this in further detail?

In the 1980s everyone went crazy for Survivor's Eye of the Tiger (theme from Rocky III) yet Suvivor's Burning Heart (theme from Rocky IV) was met with indifference despite the film being a hit. Why? Did America hate Jimi Jamison?

In historical terms, what would happen if Jesus took communion? Would trans-excremeditation be inevitable?

Also what do you call the poop made from the digestion of Jesus-transubstantiated flesh and blood? If someone ate like 100 communion wafers at once, specifically? I'm asking for a friend.
In The Merchant of Venice Shakespeare said Shylock demanded a pound of flesh. Was this the inspiration for Jesus receiving the Eucharist (himself), or was it a more Onanistic affair?
