On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray lavished praise on Oba Femi for his promo work as well as in-ring talent.
Femi defeated Dragon Lee to win the NXT North American Championship on last week’s episode of WWE NXT.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Oba Femi: “Guys, remember the movie 300? The character Leonidas? ‘This is Sparta.’ This guy, Oba Femi, sounds like a warrior. Thus the warrior chant or cry from the crowd. And one of the problems that I’ve had with Drew [McIntyre] — not problems, one of the concerns that I have had with Drew McIntyre in the past, is that I don’t believe that he believes the stuff coming out of his mouth, up until recently.”
On how Oba Femi believes everything he says: “I believe Oba Femi believes what’s coming out of his mouth. This is his destiny. He sounds like a warrior. He sounds like he goes in there without fear. Yes, I can hear the cadence of the first promo and the, ‘Blah blah blah,’ stop. ‘Blah blah blah,’ stop. Didn’t matter. There was conviction there.”
