Dustin Rhodes was recently interviewed by “Inside the Ropes”. During the interview, he discussed why the Attitude Era will never come back and how he feels about wrestlers being on social media. Here are the highlights:
On Why The Attitude Era Isn’t Coming Back:
The Attitude Era of yesterday is never gonna come back because there’s too many kids involved. There’s too many parents, this world we live in now is so worried about everything so if we do something wrong on TV, they’re gonna call us out on it. Social media has done that too, also.
On How The Business Has Changed:
TV now is just so fast and all you see is 50,000 f***ing moves man, and you can’t focus. There’s no story. I truly believe, being old school, without the old school, there is no new school, so they learned it from somewhere. They learned it from the old school storytelling and selling, from getting your ass kicked and making a comeback, much like a film.
On Wrestlers Being On Social Media:
If The Undertaker is on Twitter, it feels weird to me. It takes away the mystique of The Undertaker, the Deadman, right? If Goldust is on Twitter he needs to be talking like Goldust does in his promos. I don’t do that on Twitter.
