Ricky Saints was a recent guest on the “Busted Open After Dark” podcast to comment on a variety of topics, including how the NXT locker room is different from other companies, his goals coming to WWE, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how the NXT locker room is different from other companies: “I think above anything, tenure is going to be above a newer company and there are kinks that need to be worked out on any type of start-up. So what I’m seeing is a place that already has developed a system — to be placed in a system is way different than being in the process of developing a system. So what I’m seeing is a lot of, you’ve got a point A, you’ve got a point B, you’ve got a point C, you’ve got a point D — there’s always a contact for this, this is how this is connected to this one … it’s like an insane moving assembly line, where things are crossing over but it all fits so perfectly.”
On his goals in coming to WWE: “I’m not a big on goals cause they change literally every hour, but I will tell you this, the plan for me is to come in here, show exactly what everybody had been missing for the past 14 years. You should’ve signed me in 2017, that’s what you should have did.”
On not joining WWE in 2017: “It could have been on me for sure, but I can admit to the fact that the person that I was in 2017 is not the person that I am now … the plan though is to come in here and show exactly why I call myself absolute, why I am who I think I am, and not only that, but to then help out other people, you have to lead by example. So that’s going to be main eventing these PLE’s, that’s going to be winning the NXT Championship.”
Steph De Lander and Mance Warner currently work in TNA Wrestling, and they recently spoke with Jim Varsallone about the possibility of crossing over to the WWE NXT brand.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
De Lander on potentially making an appearance in NXT: “We live like five minutes away from Full Sail, which means we live about ten minutes away from the PC and I still remember how to get there, so I think at some point, giving Mance a little tour of my old stomping grounds and seeing if he wants to get involved in the shuffle could definitely be an interesting idea.”
Warner on a possible NXT appearance: “Once again, we don’t even gotta fly nowhere to get there. That means there ain’t no security guards stopping me, patting my boots, looking for a screwdriver or seeing if I’m walking through a building. I’m pretty handy with tools, I can pop a door off real quick and then I can put someone through that with a chokeslam or a pile driver or a DDT. The possibilities are endless. It’s a black canvas and I like throwing a little blood on that canvas.”
