On the current WWE product:
BK: Vince is a brilliant man. Now they’ve got Triple H in there. They are doing a good job. I watch them. They’ve got Shane back in the mix now and he’s been a good friend to me and Saggs for a long time. They are doing really good stuff. I watch the show and it looks good. Roman Reigns, I know his brother and his Dad, Sika, very well. His brother Matt used to be Rosie. They’re bringing in a lot of different characters. It’s good. You need that. You need to bring new guys in and get good, fresh blood. So you don’t see the same old matches over and over again.
On whether the current WWE in-ring product moves too quickly:
BK: I think they could slow it down a little bit. Some of the really powerful moves shouldn’t have them up in three seconds to get another powerful move. It’s like, “BOOM!” and then people go, “WOW!” and all of a sudden they’re up and doing something else. It used to be more of a steady pace. Let’s put it that way. Today they go really fast. Some of the things they do are just amazing. It’s a wonder they don’t have, knock on wood, more injuries. A lot of guys are high flying. Flying from here to here. Look what Shane did off the top of that cage. That was insane. I mean, Jesus. Unbelievable. But hey, that’s what the people are looking for these days.
