Last week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw had a Legends Night theme, and it featured some appearances from big names from the past such as Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Booker T and more.
Following the show Mustafa Ali appeared on Raw Talk, and he ripped on Legends Night while saying that it’s an example of what’s wrong with WWE.
“I am agitated. I’m angry, but most of all, I’m confused. We dedicated a three-hour show to old has-beens. You want to call them legends or whatever…they’ve had their time. A night like tonight is exactly what is wrong with this company. Three hours to guys that can barely walk. I am not bewildered. I know that the generation before me paved the way, but when the hell are you going to let me walk on that path? Guys like Drew Gulak, Akira Tozawa, guys like myself, all of RETRIBUTION, not on the show. Why? Because we need to hear ‘Whatcha gonna do brother?’ AGAIN! For the seventh million time. They pumped the cheers real good. Why don’t you give us a chance? People who can contribute to this business and further this company. No, let’s push them all aside and give three hours to people that can barely walk. They carved a path, when do I get to walk on that path? For anyone who doesn’t understand what I’m saying, it’s not because I’m talking fast, it’s because you’re listening slow. This place needs change and I am that change.”
The promo got a lot of people talking, and Mustafa Ali got people talking once again when he took to Twitter to post a photo along with the caption, “we don’t know if we can give you a live mic again.”

It’s not clear at this point in time if Ali is just trying to use social media to get some more attention for himself and RETRIBUTION, or if he has actually been banned from having a live mic, but it will be interesting to see if he gets some promo time on Monday Night Raw.
