Road Dogg wants to see talent do less looking at the crowd and add more authenticity to their comebacks during matches.
Speaking on the latest edition of his “Oh… You Didn’t Know” podcast, WWE’s SVP of Live Events commented on comebacks in wrestling, what he’d like to see less of, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On what he’d like to see less of: “Looking to the crowd. I just feel like they — you don’t look to the crowd in the middle of your comeback. There’s a time and a place for you to acknowledge the crowd… But your focus is on the opponent. If you’re in a bar fight, you’re not going to look to see what the DJ is thinking, you know what I mean?”
On wanting to see more realism in comebacks: “I guess it goes further than ‘stop looking at the crowd’ and start acting like the fight’s real that you’re in. Add reality to your repertoire.”
