Wrestling legend Bobby Fulton has done another interview this month where he rips WWE Superstar Roman Reigns. Fulton spoke with Pancakes & Powerslams earlier this month and said Reigns would have been fired by now if he wrestled back in the day as he’s not getting the job done because he’s not able to make the connection with fans.
Fulton spoke with James Walsh on Interactive Wrestling Radio this week and took another shot at Reigns, saying he should be fired or turned heel. Below are some highlights:
The modern era of wrestling with so many promotions and if it mirrors the independent circuit:
“Actually, it is not like the territory days. The way I see it, there is a large under-current of backyard wrestling that is hurting professional wrestling. Anyone that uses the term “independent” to me, I wouldn’t use it. That’s already a step down. We’re all supposed to be professional wrestlers. We had 4 or 5 hour car rides with the older generation. Those were our classrooms. What you have now is guys who might have 4 or 5 lessons from somebody and then they open up a wrestling school and they don’t really know what they’re doing. It is a long stretch of not good quality. There’s the WWE, there’s Ring of Honor, there’s Impact Wrestling. There’s a small string of good promoters out there. But, there are a lot of people that shouldn’t be in the wrestling business.”
His view of current wrestling:
“We’re talking about a career and things that happened 30 years ago. 30 years from now, what will they be talking about? They’re not even talking about what is going on in wrestling now! They talk about John Cena and his “Make a Wish”. They never talk about his wrestling! I think that’s great, I think that’s wonderful. But, at the same time, what have you done for the wrestling business?”
Roman Reigns:
“If he can’t get over as a babyface and the people are booing him, fire him! Get rid of him or turn him heel. He’s not getting the job done. It is plain and simple! They gotta make a change somewhere. People just ain’t buying Roman Reigns.”
