>“A lot of guys are playing pity-pat, and they’re stopping their movement on a blow before their arm or hand even gets there, and it looks fake. But that’s business-wide, and I don’t get it. Conrad, you hit a guy ten times, and you land your big-time punches, usually with the right hand because most people are right-handed. Then when they get a camera shot, which I would never go to right away unless there’s evidence of assault, they go to the guy’s face, and it’s not even red, not swollen, there’s no bloody nose, no chipped teeth. QT Marshall says, ‘Thank God,’ and there you are.”
>“I don’t get it. They expose themselves like that. That’s like delivering an established finishing move and using it as a high spot. You see somebody hit a solid, hard DDT, and the guy gets nailed and planted— that should be a finish. If you don’t want to use it as a finish, then don’t use it, because it’s sure as hell not a high spot or getting the old proverbial 2 count.”
>“I watch a lot of wrestling, and people emulate what they see. If you’re a talent, and some of what they’re emulating isn’t good, if you can’t throw a good punch—I’ve heard this a thousand times. Some guys I respect are Hall of Fame guys. There are guys who are retired, comfortable, they’ve made their money, saved their money, and been smart through the process. My God, some of the stuff I’m seeing just doesn’t make sense to me.
>And I might be wrong. I’m just telling you, I might be wrong, because I understand the talents are making more money and working less than they ever have in the history of wrestling. So how bad is it really? That’s just a rhetorical question. But maybe it’s okay, maybe it’s fine. I just think there would be more money to spread around if they were more fundamentally sound and logical. Be logical, try to be logical. If you can, well, let’s be logical.”
