WHY WAS HE SO MAD ?#WWELFG pic.twitter.com/cvsaUcRrl1
The LFG rookie was asked about this moment during a recent interview with Shak Wrestling. He claimed that he was just trying to explain the show to Bischoff. According to BJ Ray he also didn’t understand why Bubba Ray got so mad at him at the time:
“Yeah, so I’m what they would say a team player, right? And I’m a little bit of a businessman. So I just so happen to be in the room at that time and I saw Eric up there. Bubba had asked, he wanted my help with the team in the previous episode that you saw. So I saw Eric up there and I decided to go up there and chat him up a little bit, kind of tell him who’s who, what’s going on. Bubba didn’t like that.
I was like…first of all I didn’t understand why he was mad. I mean isn’t that where the legends belong? But yeah, Bubba just got big mad for real dude. He got super mad and all of a sudden, I was just like yeah bro whatever kind of giving him one of these [hand gesture]. I go to turn around and bro just decides to attack me and shove me out of nowhere.”
Gotta Protect Their Legends: BJ Ray
BJ Ray also made an interesting claim about the whole situation. According to him, there were parts of the confrontation that were excluded from the show in order to protect the image of the wrestling veteran:
“Low-ki I was just dying. I was like bro there’s no…in my head I can’t lie to you bro I’m always kind of like a troll in the back of my mind and I find things hella funny. So when it was all happening, I was low-key kind of like ‘Bro, this is actually mad funny.’
But yeah, it was very interesting. A lot of stuff got left on the cutting room floor. I had done something to Bubba that definitely got left on the cutting room floor. They gotta protect their legends, they gotta make them look good. They don’t want to show me big dogging Bubba. And I don’t care to say that. I’ll say whatever I want to say.”
