“I’m probably the wrong guy to put on this show to try to talk it up. It’s not that I’m so much against it, it’s that my entire existence in my profession, professional wrestling, you’re taught and you’re brought up and if you’re old school, you protect the business. It’s always been that way.”
“I feel like since the 20s or 30s, everybody knew wrestling was predetermined. They talk about how they didn’t know and they talk about how in the 80s, we just kind of blew it wide open and now everybody’s exposing the business and this and that. I think if you’re living under a rock, you don’t know, but most people do know.“
“You’re in the room, you’re seeing the special teams, you’re seeing the Xs and the Os, and you’re seeing the relationships between the coaches and the players and their families and all that, and that’s sort of what we’re doing. We’re following suit in a way. It’s just really strange, for me, at least, because I’ve always been taught you protect the business.”
“I was never sure when they were filming, what they were filming, who’s mic’d up. You could probably make a really good blooper reel of me looking directly down the lens of the camera going, what are you doing? Get out, don’t film this.”
“I feel like WWE is always trying new things and bits and pieces to make it different and make it grow, and this is just one of the next steps. Do I think that everything should be shown? No. I haven’t seen it yet so I’m very intrigued to see.“
“It was really strange having the camera crew around as well because you’re so used to all of this being so top secret and hidden and you didn’t know how to really react to things sometimes, like some of the questions. It was just wild to me, but at the same time, it is a growing business.”
