I ’ve done just about everything that you may do in the professional wrestling and play amusement industry , and I did n’t remember that there was anything left that would actually get me worked up . LFG has me frantic . From Clarence Shepard Day Jr. one , it was a fun , interesting outgrowth . If you took Bubba Ray Dudley ’s name and Mickie James ' name and Booker T ’s name and The Undertaker ’s name , and you throw off it on newspaper , you ’d say to yourself , ' How are these four going to get along ?

From day one , it ’s been absolutely great to see the four of us , the four caption from LFG , come together with the 16 future greats and how this whole process works and taking you step by step from day one . the daylight we meet these future greats . It ’s going to be a fun show .
If you ’ve visit any of the clips , I know the first clip that got released has everybody speak .

That ’s run to adjust the feeling for the intact series . Very much look forward to it . I do n’t watch my stuff back . I ’m excited to watch this back .

“Get Over,” Bubba Ray Says
Nothing Else Matters
In the history of trash - talking performers , Bubba Ray Dudley has his jersey safely hung in the rafters of one of the all - clock time microphone scorchers , and whether it was positive or negative , his power to talk on the mike allowed him to get over with the crowd . When asked what the best piece of advice was that he was give on his way up , his answer was simple : just get over .
Get over . Okay , bye . Have a nice sidereal day . See you later . Get over . There ’s all these linguistic rule , thing to do , things to not do in the world of pro wrestling . But if you get over , everything will forge itself out . That ’s the same advice that I have fade down to students in my wrestle school . I ’ve been training up and come matman now for about 15 years . This is something that I ’ve passed down to the next greats on LFG . Get over .
No matter what you do , go out there and snap up their interest . Command their interest group . Do something where they have to look at you , where they have to listen to you . Do something where they ca n’t take their eyes off of you , no matter what it is . You do n’t have to be the sound professional matman in the professional wrestle and sports entertainment business to get over . It ’s personality . As a matter of fact , a lot of the military man and fair sex at the top of our game really were more about their ability to get over than really worm matches . Getting over is the most of import matter to me .
In the early days of ECW , where television time was limited and everyone had something to show , Bubba Ray made his mark as one of the most aggressive performer to touch a mic . It was this ability to get over so definitively that give up The Dudley Boyz to pull the care of WWE , wherethey became one of the most decorated tatter teamsin professional grappling account .
When asked about WWEID , which WWE uses to distinguish and civilize up - and - come grappler both still on the independent aspect or at designated wrestling schools , Bubba Ray trust that WWEID , coupled withLFG , proves that no one is cultivating , and securing , the future of the business organisation quite like WWE .
When it comes to crop new talent , I do n’t believe any grapple company in the world is doing it better than , or even close to , the WWE . I almost feel like this has become Major League Baseball , where we have A - ball , three-fold A - formal , triple A - glob , major league . The ID political platform allows the WWE to search out bleak talent mightily off of an independent show , right out of a wrestle shoal and say , ' Okay , we see something . ' We see one thing in this talent that we believe we can explicate .
They have a certain look , they have a certain motion , they have a certain ' it ' factor . We like the style they wriggle , we like the promo . One thing , ' we ’d like to bring you in , we ’d like to train you , we ’d like to build up you , we ’d care to see if there ’s anything there . ' Then move them up . The new relationship that WWE and NXT has with TNA , another territory where talent can go work . Obviously , NXT being the Triple A of the organisation , Raw and SmackDown being the major league . No matter where you ’re looking in the WWE , they ’re cultivating endowment , they ’re honing natural endowment , they ’re educate talent , and they ’re develop the talent the way they want to from Clarence Day one .
Wrestling , specifically WWE , is in a bunce menstruation not seen since the Attitude Era , while being more financially successful than it ever has been . WWE sees note value in protect its brand , legacy , and hereafter , and these programs will ensure that they are finding and give rise the next Roman Reigns or John Cena while provide invaluable training from Legends , Hall of Famers , and masters of the craft .
Bubba Ray Wants You To Respect The Business
What They Do Is So Much Harder Than It Looks
As most of the current WWE Superstars , Legends , and Hall of Famers will tell you , wrestle is n’t ballet , certainly not for the weak , and it will take a heavy toll on your torso and mind . When asked about what he wanted viewers to take away fromLFG , Bubba Ray said he wants the viewers to respect what the performer do by put their bodies on the line of credit for their entertainment .
Respect for how hard what we do sincerely is . It ’s very well-situated to watch Raw , SmackDown , NXT , a PLE , and go , ' I can do that . ' No , you ca n’t . It ’s a very , very problematical industry , and it ’s a tough industry from day one . I think people are going to get a better appreciation for that after they watch LFG . I think they ’ll also have more respect and appreciation for the WWE ’s process , and how they impart endowment along , and how they plow talent , and how they ’re very fair with talent , and give natural endowment every opportunity to succeed . take heed , when you see the PC , when you have the coaches and the trainers that are available to you and at your disposal down here , if you ca n’t make it in some way , shape , or organize with everything the WWE has to offer , you ’re probably the problem , not them .
