He says that his biggest issue with the wrestling business and WWE today is that the product is too scripted. He admits that WWE does a great job with their big matches and the buildups to those main event bouts are always great. Contrarily, the undercard guys have trouble breaking through the clutter because they’re told specifically how to act and speak.

He thinks that every performer is different and they all should be able to embrace whatever method they feel most comfortable with in order to cut promos and work in the ring. One specific ‘WWE style’ isn’t going to work for everyone, and he thinks it’s silly to restrict performers like that.

Anderson informs that when he wrestled in WWE he wanted to wrestle as if the matches were real. He mentions that Undertaker actually pulled him aside one night and told him to keep doing that because it made him unique in the ring, but Undertaker also warned him that some people on RAW’s roster wouldn’t like that as they’d consider him hard to work with.

He thinks that these types of silly things may have played a part in his eventual departure from WWE. He also went on the record after the Chris Benoit murder/suicide, giving his opinions on the events to several news corporations and he doesn’t think WWE appreciated that.
