Batista was recently interviewed on Wrestling Sheet Radio. This was in order to promote his new movie, Stuber.
During the interview, Batista shared his thoughts on WWE’s creative process. He says that it was a nightmare back in his run with the company in 2014 and things seem to have gotten worse.
Here is what he said (h/t to Wrestlezone for the quotes below):
“The creative process I still don’t get. It was a nightmare to me the last time I was there, which was 2014, and it seems like it’s become worse. I feel like they don’t have a clear vision, a long term vision, everything is very week-to-week. It doesn’t seem like they stick to a plan very much.”
“[Chris] Jericho pointed out something to me that makes complete sense. He said that John Cena is the last guy who is gonna be over like he is and it’s because the performers now they’re limited. Their hands are tied. They can’t go to war like we used to. We used to go to war and beat the crap out of each other and it earned a level of respect from people. And it was just like a different level of respect, it was a different level of getting over. We had more freedom.”
