Bully Ray Talks About Drake Maverick, Smackdown Better Than RAW
Bully Ray joined WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross on The Ross Report. Among other topics of discussion, he talked about Drave Maverick, Smackdown being better than RAW.
According to Bully, a lot of WWE does not make sense and it hurts his intelligence.
“There are so many things that don’t make sense. And when I watch, I try to watch as the professional, but I also try to watch as the fan because then I have to talk about it on Busted Open [Radio] and the things that don’t make sense I find are often insulting my intelligence. And I’m wondering if other people feel that way. Does the 13 year old in Sheboygan, Wisconsin really know whether his intelligence is being insulted? No, but the 40 year old man in New York [New York], Philadelphia [Pennsylvania], and Chicago [Illinois] knows that it is; however, when WWE looks at its numbers, JR, I think that everything is pointed in a positive direction for them, so why should they change their product?”
Bully also talked about Drake Maverick.
“I remember the first time I saw him in TNA,. My exact words to Jeremy Borash, who know works down in NXT [were], ‘that kid has ‘it”. And [Ross is] right – if he was 6’4″, 250 [pounds], he would be a gazillionaire by now. But I agree with [Ross].”
According to Bully Ray, Smackdown is definitely better than RAW.
“We’re talking about RAW maybe dropping the ball sometimes or being lacklustre, to take this on a positive note, they’re doing quite the opposite on SmackDown,” Bully pointed out. “On SmackDown, I’m more invested in the characters there; I’m more invested in the story; I’m more invested in the actual wrestling matches that are taking place. As a tag team guy, I have The Bar, The Usos, and The New Day, three teams with tremendous chemistry duking it out for those tag team titles.
I have Becky Lynch and Charlotte [Flair] there doing probably some of the best work in the company right now. So it’s crazy. It’s night and day between the two brands and despite the fact that SmackDown is the better show and over the course of history has had times when it is definitively been the better show, it’s still always labeled as the B-show.”
