hall of fame

Over the years WWE has been criticized for not building up new stars, and many people in the professional wrestling business have their own opinions on why some talents aren’t able to break through to the next level.

WWE Hall of Famer Bushwhacker Luke recently spoke to Lucha Libre Online about the current state of the WWE roster, and he said that one of the issues with the talent of today is that there are no characters.

“This is one thing that is going to you know, maybe scratch some people, piss some people off… The characters… There are no characters there today but he’s building them now. He started to build a few characters there but in the end the classic days of the 80s and early 90s, we were all characters and we all stood out.

I saw sometimes… Imagine if we had merchandise heavy out today. Like the new guys have today. They would be making a fortune. You know what I mean? But today they’re all great athletes. They’re all great athletes. Good bodies. Good wrestlers.”
