Road Dogg says WWE‘s business now is beyond anything the company has done before.
Road Dogg was with WWE in the Attitude Era. He has worked behind the scenes in recent years. In addition to his role as the Senior Vice President of Live Events, he has reportedly been named the co-lead writer of WWE SmackDown.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Road Dogg discussed his current role in WWE and highlighted the company’s success.
“So really, I’m still in charge of creative of live events,” he said. “But now we have scaled live events back. Domestically, especially this coming year, we’re going to find out where our sweet spot is, but a lot of overseas live events coming up this year, there’s huge money there.
“The business side of things right now is so far beyond what they have ever been before, even Attitude, all that stuff is just putting shame what the business is doing now with Hunter at the Helmsley [laughs]. I know, I’m sorry. I’m a granddad.”
Road Dogg On Triple H
Road Dogg was also asked whether he saw the creativity in Triple H years ago, and he noted that he knew Triple H would be somebody.
“So no would be the quick answer,” he said. “However, I never saw him as my boss, but I saw him as he was going to be somebody in the wrestling world, because I saw how he thought. We worked, a bunch of you have probably seen Brian Armstrong versus Terra Ryzing 100 times on WCW. I knew then, I didn’t have a clue what I was doing in there and he was thoughtful putting stuff together in his head and I was like, Yeah, let’s do that.
“So yeah, I knew he was gonna be somebody and be something just because of the way looked and the way carried himself, and like I said, his brain.”
