During a recent interview with Covalent TV, Rhino commented on helping younger talent succeed and teaching them the importance of adjusting matches in the ring.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On helping younger talent: “Well, I usually try to give them the basics, you know, as far as you know, take out your personality, try to highlight that you know, certain things you’re you know, just take it from here to there and just like what they’re comfortable with and let things organically happen.”
On the importance of being able to adjust based on the crowd: “Oh, it’s very important, especially with the wrestling fans, because they’ll let you know. That’s why I like to tell a lot of people, ‘It’s not as scripted as people think.’ Because you’re out there, they might want to see something different and they tell you by cheering or booing or this or that, you got to give it to them So, and that’s where the real talent lies. As you mature as a talent, you have the ability to do that out there.”
Sabu says the recent WWE NXT event at the 2300 Arena was “lame.”
During a recent interview with Covalent TV, the ECW legend acknowledged that the WWE NXT brand has some good wrestlers but believes the ECW nostalgia event didn’t live up to the hype. He said,
“I thought it was lame. Even though it’s a good show, good wrestlers, it was lame for a nostalgia ECW thing. The building doesn’t look the same. It’s not the same.”
He continued, “It’s not really a reunion or a top-notch thing, without me or Sandman. Both of us or one or the other. It’s kind of a must, I think.”
