On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray clarified why ROH World Television Champion Samoa Joe is a credible threat to AEW World Champion MJF.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Samoa Joe’s interaction with MJF at AEW All Out 2023: “When Joe came out there, I felt the whole mood change. I saw a credible challenger to MJF’s World Heavyweight Championship. Not that Adam Cole wasn’t credible or not that anybody else hasn’t been credible, but there’s just something different about Joe.”
On Joe as a threat to MJF: “It’s just this feeling that Joe can take you out at any given moment. Joe being bigger than Max. Joe being a heavyweight that can really bring it to Max.”
On Samoa Joe being a better choice for MJF than Roderick Strong: “Some type of a credible challenge[r] who is involved in the story is Roderick Strong, but if you’re asking me to choose between Joe and MJF, and Strong and MJF, it’s Samoa Joe all day long.”
On a recent edition of his “Oh You Didn’t Know?” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Brian “Road Dogg” James assessed the skillset of Hangman Page as a sports entertainer.
Road Dogg declared that although Page bests him in wrestling, he’s still a better sports entertainer than The Cowboy.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On being a better sports entertainer Hangman Page: “Yes, I am. I don’t know him; I’ve met him and I’ve passed him by, we have done the Lucha spot passerby, but, yes, I’m a better sports entertainer than he is. If we’re talking about rasslin’, he’d probably work circles around me — and probably could even on my best day. But I didn’t know if we were getting gold medals with broken freakin’ necks, or if we’re talking about cashing checks here.”
On Hangman still having time to prove him wrong: “He’s a bright kid, a kind kid, he was respectful [when we met]. Everything felt right about him; I just don’t know anything more than that. But, he’s got a long way to go and not a short time to get there.”
