In a recent episode of the “The ARN Show” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson shared about his recent invitation to WWE Bad Blood 2024, along with several other Hall of Famers. Here are a few highlights from his discussion:
Emphasizing on his participation in WWE Bad Blood 2024, Anderson highlighted, “I was privileged to have been invited to Bad Blood, an event held in Atlanta. We had fellow WWE legends like Tully, Scott Steiner and Miss Jackie in attendance as a gesture of honoring and acknowledging our contributions to this business. My gratitude goes out to Hunter for the invitation. In addition, I had the opportunity to catch up with Cody, Jamie Noble, Adam Pearce and several others in the background who were instrumental in organizing the event.”
Anderson also expressed his admiration for the immense talent portrayed at the event, particularly praising Punk and Drew McIntyre’s thrilling starter brawl, which embodied the essence of Hell in the Cell.
Commenting on the respectful attitude of WWE towards its legends, he added, “It was heartwarming to see the respect displayed to each other, to the legends as well as to the audience. It left a positive impact.”
On a similarly note, another WWE veteran Jake Roberts reflected on his decision to switch roles and become a villain in Florida Championship Wrestling during a recent edition of his podcast “The Snake Pit”. Some notable excerpts from his discussion include:
About his decision to turn heel in Florida Championship Wrestling, Roberts shared, “The decision was driven by broken promises as well as an opportunity to explore a completely new territory. I had always played the face till then. So coming to Florida and teaming up with Kevin Sullivan meant I was definitely turning heel.”
Conveying his excitement about the new role and opportunity, he said, “I was absolutely thrilled. It was extremely energizing.”
Roberts chose FCW largely due to the guidance from Dusty Rhodes and the enticing opportunity to explore being a heel. Additionally, he was promised greater roles. When asked about how he secured the opportunity there, he said, “I simply made a phone call to Dusty.”
