Road Dogg Thinks WWE Left Money On The Table With Samoa Joe, Elias Was ‘Mishandled’

On the latest episode of “Oh…You Didn’t Know,” Road Dogg discussed a wide range of topics. 

During it, the former WWE wrestler talked about his belief that WWE mishandled Elias and left money on the table with Samoa Joe while covering the 2018 Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia. Here is what he had to say: 

Elias: 

“Look, I liked ‘The Drifter’ character (that Elias portrayed) as well. I think if we would have stuck to that, been committed and consistent with that kind of drifter psychology, I think it would have done well. I think we didn’t quite understand what we had. So we mishandled it. That’s when you get a new toy and you (rough it up) and that’s what we did and so, we did that several times. You (person who sent in the question) brought up several of them. Thank you so much for doing that. Some of the things I cry about at night and my failures as a creative writer in wrestling.”

Samoa Joe: 

“100 percent (there was more to Samoa Joe in WWE). I think Samoa Joe is money any way you look at it. He’s a great promo, I believe every word he says, he’s well-spoken, he’s a big tank of a man, he can fly around like a bumblebee. He shouldn’t be able to but he can and so it’s just incredible how much money is left on the table with Samoa Joe and look, I don’t know how he’s doing now or whatever but I just think from our company and me working with him, man, there was a lot left on the table with Samoa Joe.”
