Randy Orton: ‘I’ve been in the ring with guys that came from NXT and they don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing’
Orton said the talent is losing the art of wrestling and some guys who came from NXT don’t know what they’re doing:
There’s an art to what we do, and a lot of guys have lost that art. Now instead of selling a punch, because you need to sell a punch, now I’m protecting myself because I don’t want to get my f*cking jaw broken. That’s unfortunate, but the art to professional wrestling, like when Vince was on he talked about your number one priority above all being protecting your opponent, that’s not taught necessarily in NXT, and I know that because I’ve been in the ring with guys that came from NXT and they don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing. It’s unfortunate but I think that is just kind of how things are changing.”
He def referencing the black and gold era.
