WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg gets released (Wrestling Inc)
WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg comments on Randy Orton guiding the new NXT talent coming up on the main roster
Road Dogg recently spoke on his podcast “Oh…You Didn’t Know,” about the statement made by WWE Tag Team Champion Randy Orton that NXT talent coming up to the main roster doesn’t know what they’re doing.
Dogg mentioned that he agrees with him and totally understands where Randy is coming from.
“So I totally understand where Randy is coming from. I think Randy is correct, but sometimes guys go up there really early and never worked anywhere before. Some guys started during the pandemic and never worked in front of a live crowd.” (H/T WrestlingNews.co)
He also stated that he saw Orton talking to The Street Profits as the match was going on and praised the former WWE Champion for doing so. He also mentioned how WWE is different from NXT.
“I saw Randy literally on the show talking to The Street Profits as the match was going on when he was in the ring with them. I thought, ‘Man, that is so awesome. Randy is teaching these kids as he’s having a match with them.’ It’s on the job training. That’s how you have to do it, “It was a different animal down there (NXT). It was a wrestling show, and so the tempo was faster, the speed was faster, and the wrestling was more important”
WWE Hall of Famer talked about how the main roster is about flamboyance and entertainment. The show is seen by families and not only a particular set of people.
“On the main roster, it’s about flamboyance and entertainment because it’s not all 25-year old dudes in black T-shirts that watch RAW. Families watch RAW so you have to give them these entertainment segments like the wedding segment that happened the other week. You have to hit them with this more colourful entertainment because that’s what plays to the bigger audience.”
Recently a lot of NXT Superstars are making their turn on the main roster and it is the duty of all the senior pros to guide them.
