On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bully Ray discussed the best direction for Powerhouse Hobbs following his assault on Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho earlier this week on AEW Dynamite.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how he would plan for Hobbs’ activities currently: “If I have the pencil, I am not putting Will Hobbs in a definitive story with any particular babyface for three months. I’m having Will Hobbs show up on ‘Dynamite,’ ‘Collision,’ ‘Rampage,’ and just destroying things at will. And when somebody decides to interview him and they ask him, ‘Will Hobbs, what is your mission statement? Why are you doing what you’re doing?’ ‘It’s one reason: to f**k things up.’ ‘Why?’ ‘Because I can and I can’t be stopped.’”
On the ultimate goal for the character’s initial arc: “No rhyme, no reason. Babyfaces, heels, backstage producers, women, men — you name it. Everybody is going to fear Will Hobbs and get that character to a point where you know that when he shows up, something is gonna happen. That’s what I would do with him until you settle into a particular babyface standing up to Will.”
