Bully Ray says that he doesn’t understand why The Undertaker and Booker T want their talents on WWE LFG to be so serious considering their in-ring characters. Bully is a mentor the show alongside Taker, Booker, and Michelle McCool and he spoke about his difference in philosophy with the two on Busted Open Radio. You can see highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):
On Booker & Undertaker’s LFG work: “On LFG, what has blown my mind about ‘Taker and Booker is how they want their talents, their future greats, to be so serious. We’re serious wrestlers. Undertaker’s the biggest gimmick in the history of gimmicks, right? Undertaker, it’s a gimmick. And Booker, when he got over to the WWE, there’s two things that Booker T is most memorable for. So, for me, what Booker is known for, is the best of seven against Benoit and King Booker. But, Vince McMahon wasn’t really interested in the best of seven wrestler. He made him King Booker. And that’s when all of the characters shine through.”
The tag team legend is perplexed that his fellow Hall of Famers and LFG mentors only want to see serious characters, which contrasts their presentation in WWE.
On his reaction to the two during the show: “So sometimes I would sit back on LFG and I’m like, you guys were all about character and gimmick, but you want these future greats to be so damn serious. It never, it doesn’t make sense to me.”
