Bully Ray Takes Issue With WWE Treating Wrestlers 'Like Children'

Key Highlights

• But before they delved into where they think WWE should take this storyline, Ray had this to say about rising stars being taken under veterans' wings."I'm not a fan of the WWE treating a lot of their talent like children," the WWE Hall of Famer said.
• "You see it a lot, where a lot of younger talent [is] like, 'Oh, I'm just happy to be in the ring with you.
• Oh, this is a dream come true,' like with Lyra [Valkyria] and Becky [Lynch].
• It worked, but... it's becoming a little too much where a lot of younger talent are deer in the headlights when it comes to the veterans."AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWhat sparked this remark from Ray came from LaGreca's take that, perhaps, Randy Orton should help train Rhodes to become a three-time Undisputed Champion, similar to how Apollo Creed trained Rocky Balboa in "Rocky III." With the promise that "The Viper" is owed a future title match.
• Indeed an interesting proposal, Ray thought oppositely."I want Cody to eventually be looked at and talked about in the same light as everybody else, and not just because he becomes the same age as them, but because he becomes them and surpasses them as an athlete and a professional and as an entertainer and as a wrestler," he added.
