"They’re talking about Road Dogg didn’t do a good job (on the WWE SmackDown creative team), man F you. It’s just BS. These guys are selling out arenas all over the world, making more money. We never dreamed that people would make money like this. Road Dogg was one of the guys behind it.
When you got 52 weeks a year live, no reruns, do you think you’re going to make some mistakes? I would hope so because if you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying. This isn’t a TV episode show where you can do 13 episodes and you film it, you put it in a can and then if you don’t like it, you go back and edit it. This is live. You’re talking about people who may or may not deliver what you’re thinking they’re going to deliver. Sometimes they do something that is not what they’re supposed to do. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. If it doesn’t work, you get the blame for that too. There’s a lot of things going on.
I love AAA and I love working down there. I think it’s the hottest show in the world right now. It’s a lot easier what they’re doing, when you’re filming an hour a week and you’ve got great stars as compared to filming 50 hours a week or whatever WWE does. You’ve got great stars there too, but it’s just, it’s not even hardly the same business. It’s tough to do what they’ve done. I think Road Dogg did an excellent job. Those guys who are complaining about it, man, F you."
