Bully Ray continued with his criticism about the current state of the pro wrestling industry, boldly claiming that the business has become eroded from genuine emotional investment, with pops being focused on moves and entrances instead of emotional investment in talent. “With a talent like Tiffany, I’ve been saying this forever, it’s not just now, people came down on Charlotte Flair for no good reason,” he explained. “They had to put those words into Tiffany Stratton’s mouth where Tiffany Stratton put those words in her own mouth about Charlotte Flair’s personal life just for somebody to give a f**k about their match because nobody gave a flying rat’s ass about their match because Tiffany couldn’t keep up with Charlotte on the stick.”

Bully’s criticisms of Stratton’s booking then extended to her upcoming match against Trish Stratus. “Beating Charlotte meant nothing and now beating Trish will mean nothing because there’s no emotional investment in Tiffany Stratton,” Bully added, explaining that wins and losses mean nothing in pro wrestling and the only thing that’s real is money and emotions, which he feels the industry seems to be losing sight of today. “Real emotion! This business is gonna be f**cked when this wave finally fizzles out!”
