During an interview with “Busted Open Radio” on Thursday, former WWE, TNA and ROH Superstar Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) reacted to the news of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens being sent home from WWE’s European tour. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens being sent home from WWE’s European tour: “When you go into business for yourself, it means you’re being self serving and selfish. You’re doing something that you want to do for your benefit that might not be in the best interest of the story, the angle, or what the company wants to push forward. If they went so against the script or the story, back in the day it might have been tolerated, but today it will not be. Vince sent a very strong message to these young men. He sent a stronger message to his locker room. The message is ‘This is my business. I’m a billionaire. I created this place. Do what you’re told, or I don’t care who you are, I will send you home and I will sit you home so you can think about your screw ups.”
On Chris Jericho vs. Kenny Omega at NJPW’s WrestleKingdom 12 pay-per-view event: “Jericho is a genius at constant reinvention. Whether he is reinventing himself with Fozzy or the wrestling business, Jericho and Omega is immense. You’re going to be able to witness a match with no restrictions and no handcuffs. This is a perfect storm. You’re going to see a story told. Very rarely am I excited to see a match unfold. This has my full attention. To be able to make it in Pro Wrestling as long as Chris has, you have to be a brilliant Chess player. Wrestling is Chess. You have to know when you move your Pawns, your Bishops and Knights. The most important thing you need is patience, and Chris did a phenomenal job setting his board up on social media. He set up his board so well, that everybody thought he was getting the match for the cruise. Just when you think you have it all figured out, he looks at you and says ‘check mate’. This match is bigger than a WrestleMania match.”
