During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray assessed Blake Monroe and Giulia’s Street Fight on WWE SmackDown, noting how he enjoys Monroe’s work in hardcore matches. He also compared her work to ECW legend, The Sandman. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

On Mornoe’s Work in Hardcore Matches

“I have enjoyed Blake Monroe’s work since before she was Blake Monroe. And there’s just something about her when she does hardcore matches, when she does extreme matches, when she’s telling a story based in any type of match that is not a regular wrestling match. Blake Monroe, she’s a gorgeous woman. And then she goes and does all of this hardcore stuff. And to me, it just works. Like, no girl who is that hot should be able to do anything this violent. And I don’t think that they’ve even scratched the surface of what Blake Monroe could really do.”

On Blake Monroe Being the Female Version of The Sandman

“Knowing what she’s done in the past, I’d love to see Blake evolve into something that WWE does not have at all, which is a hardcore female wrestler. I’m going to say something pretty outlandish, but tell me if you get my point or if you can see it. Blake Monroe is the female version of the Sandman.”

Monroe beat Giulia in their Street Fight on the Oct. 23 edition of WWE SmackDown.
