• Hall Of Famer Reacts To Fans Saying WWE is a “MAGA Company”
On his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff reacted to fans claiming that WWE is a “MAGA company” due to their association with U.S. President Donald Trump:
“Isn’t the fact that it was WWE who introduced Bad Bunny to the mainstream American audience in a bigger way than anybody outside the music industry? How can we say that? How can we arrive at the conclusion that WWE is one way or another when, in fact, they’re giving both sides of the equation great entertainment?
If all they would do is book hardcore conservative country acts — yeah, okay. But that’s not the case. They’re not doing that.
I think people are trying to make more out of this because it’s good commentary. It’s good clickbait. It’s great podcast conversation. I think it’s just a lot of freaking cheap noise.
Cheap heat in wrestling, which is why it’s considered cheap heat, because it’s so freaking easy to get. It has no value. This is kind of like cheap content.
And I think the internet wrestling community is creating it because now they have something new to fight about, make fun of each other over, and accuse each other of horrific things. Now we can do that and talk about wrestling at the same time. That’s what all this is.
I think it’s a sad commentary.”
• Oba Femi Reveals The Advice John Cena Gave Him
During an interview on the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast, Oba Femi revealed the advice John Cena gave him:
“He’s very big on crowd interaction and ‘look at me’ moments. I don’t know if you’ve heard the story with him and, at the time, Cesaro, where he told Cesaro to go get the ball that was being thrown around in the audience and pop it.
So he was telling me… he told me that he understands that NXT is a very fast-paced style of wrestling because that’s what Shawn (Michaels) wants. But at the same time, he encouraged me that when the opponent is down, I should always take my time to interact with the crowd and do something that will be memorable to them so they can always remember me.
So that’s one of the things that John said to me that stuck. That was a pretty big one amongst many other things, but that was the big takeaway.”
