Im listening to Marc Mero's interview with JR.
He said he wanted Sable with him everywhere and wanted it in his contract that she would travel with him. So dude adopted Sable's daughter, who was 6 at the time. Today she is damn near 30 now...and has a kid (so he refers to himself as grandpa. That means Grandpa Brock is a thing)
He said he didn't understand the Wildman character and didnt feel comfortable doing it. Vince wanted him to do a Tarzan yell LOL. He loved being Johnny B Badd even though he didn't know who Little Richard was before it. How odd that he enjoyed being effiminate but not being a jungle dude...
He's jewish but said people thought he was black for years. He met Michael Jackson and James Brown who both thought he was black, he was on BET too. I couldn't find a video though.
He says he had alot of heat in WWE because he was one of the first to get a guaranteed contract AND he got to travel with his wife.
He said he knew he had heat when Vince gave him the IC title and then took it from him quickly. He wouldn't specify who he had heat with though but Luna Vachon's husband wanted to fight him.
He felt that he and Sable weren't liked in WWE. Luna Vachon wanted to fight Sable lol...not good.
He said he didn't care about letting Sable get more over than him. He said that "they are backing up the Brinks truck to our house," and he didn't care about being beaten up by her even though people think it ruined his career.
Buddy said he and Sable were separated when she started dating Brock, he claims he was upset she was dating a wrestler but then found out it was Brock and backed off lol.
He said the first time he did a shooting star press live on a human being was on Goldust at Summerslam 1996.
He said his TNA run was not good for him.
The good thing about JR podcast is he always talks to the most obscure wrestlers.

Lashley is a much better wrestler than Ryback. If he was white he would get way more respect.

Bret Hart on lack of black world champs
On WWE’s lack of African American World Heavyweight Champions:
BH: I can’t argue that The Rock’s not an African American. He’s half and I think that qualifies him. At least enough to dispel any kind of prejudices behind it. Booker T has been World Champion. Ron Simmons was a great World Champion in WCW. It happens. I think it could happen more. I believe there are a lot of things that it takes to be a great wrestler. You’ve got to have a great body. A great look. You have to have a great ability to sell yourself and you have to have a great ability to actually wrestle. If you look at The Rock, Booker T and Ron Simmons as just three examples. They fit all of those categories. Rock had a great look. Was one of the greatest promo guys that’s ever been in the business. Maybe he still is. He’s an exceptionally good worker. Ron Simmons is another guy that was very much feared and respected in the business and was a very good talker. A good character. Had a good look. Had a good history. He had all of these qualities that made him a potential champion. Booker T is another guy who had a good look and could talk. His work stands out as spectacular.
On African American wrestlers that could have become WWE World Heavyweight Champion:
BH: I know it was years ago there was talk about Tony Atlas becoming World Champion. Back years and years ago. They were giving him a big push in New York. I think he ended up having a serious cocaine problem and they passed on him. There’s maybe wrestlers that could have been or were on the verge of happening. For whatever reason it didn’t happen. Junkyard Dog, I don’t know that you’d look at him work wise. He had a great talk and schtick and everything. He was not the worker that a World Champion should be. I don’t think he was capable of it. I think you can just look at a lot of wrestling characters over the years and the ones that are bypassed you go, “Oh, he could have been!” I don’t know. You have to look really closely and see what flaws they had. I think today it’s different. There’s a lot of really good wrestlers that could potentially be World Champions for sure. I would say there might have been some hesitation back in the 70’s. Maybe racial profiling or the thinking back then was that black guys weren’t good enough to be World Champion. Maybe the politics of it all. There might have been a lot of that going on. It’s hard to say. The guys who were champion were Hogan in those days. You look at Warrior and you look at Macho Man. I don’t look back and go, “There’s a lot of guys who could have been World Champion instead of those guys.” Hogan stood out so much that you could argue Tony Atlas couldn’t have gotten his chance. He had his chance just before Hogan and he may have flubbed it for himself. Butch Reed, those guys, they had a good run and they did well but I don’t know that they were World Champion caliber.

i thought was gonna be the next big thing and would have a shot. But dude has absolutley zero personality/character and WWE has done him no favors calling him up with no build-up and putting him in a program with the Outcasts
but they have a done a good to great job so far with Enzo/Cash, Corbin, the Vaudevillians and even Emma...interesting how Crews is floundering.
