Reaching a certain level in pro wrestling often comes with perks — if they’re written into your contract.
Reflecting on his early days in The Bullet Club while appearing on the “Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw” podcast, Karl Anderson noted that the group wasn’t making much money from merchandise at first because their contracts didn’t include a cut. He said,
“I’ve heard people complain about contracts, merch, flights, money — you name it. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that if you want something, you’ve got to get it in writing. Otherwise, stop complaining. I remember once we were on a flight with Roman [Reigns], and someone was griping about a flight situation. At baggage claim, Roman just said, ‘Either get it in your contract or quit b*tching.’ Damn. Good point, Roman.”
D-Von Dudley says taking John Cena’s Attitude Adjustment was “smooth as butter.”
In a recent YouTube video, D-Von ranked several iconic wrestling finishers based on how much pain he felt taking them. One of the least painful, he noted, was John Cena’s signature move — the Attitude Adjustment, Cena’s variation of the Death Valley Driver.
Even with Cena currently on his farewell tour, D-Von emphasized that his praise is genuine. He said,
“I’ve been in the ring with John Cena many times. And I’ll tell you — that Attitude Adjustment was as smooth as smooth can be. I’m not just saying that because of what John’s doing now. I’ve always said it — that move was smooth as pie.”
