Tully Blanchard recently made an appearance on Busted Open , and spoke about the current version of wrestling having reliance on high spots and recalls his WWE debut.
Tully had the following to say about the reliance on high spots on today’s wrestling:
“Well, I have been gone for quite a while. I just started back a year ago with AEW. so, I’m getting reorientated and I’m on a learning curve right now. Dax Harwood, he sent me a copy of the first match that Arn and I had in 1988 for the WWF… I sent it to Shawn Spears and said that this is the first match that Arn and I had with the WWF, you need to look at the start of this thing and see what we’re doing,’ because Shawn is changing his style. He’s being much more like I used to be, he’s being more aggressive. I think it will be a much better product when it’s finished and he is such a — he loves this business and has been at it for a long time, he works hard and he’s just kind of a treat to be around. The things that got Dusty over, the things that got Flair over, the things that got The Four Horsemen over, the things that got Animal and Hawk over, those things are pretty common. They don’t really change a lot and if you do the staff right, you don’t necessarily have to do 42 flips, but nobody’s asked me.”
