The Undisputed Wrestling Show recently interviewed former WCW star Scott Riggs. You can read some highlights below:
John Cena:
“Every single match is the same, and it is sickening. Five simple moves every match. When it is time for Cena’s comeback it is the same moves, boom, boom, boom. That does not suspend any disbelief. That is what wrestlers are supposed to do, have the craft to anywhere in the match a finish can come up.
“Cena has mixed himself with the Super Cena thing, which is what Vince McMahon has a hard on for, he is a good guy that is so good that it is sickening. That is why so many people don’t like him. Cena is WWE’s cash cow. When I am watching Cena I feel like I am watching a TV commercial. Everything he is doing, he is selling cereal, he is selling t-shirts, he is selling something in everything he does.”
Randy Orton:
“Randy Orton just can’t seem to find something that fits. He’s got all the tools in the world, and every opportunity, but he is not allowed to be himself.”
The difference between WWE and WCW:
“WWE is a TV show about wrestling, WCW in their prime was a TV show that had happened to have wrestling on it.”
Hulk Hogan’s WWE Return:
“Hulk Hogan, even at his age, still has the ‘It Factor’. The crowd loves the nostalgia that he brings. It’s the same old thing, over and over again, but the fans still dig that. It still captures their childhood imagination.”
