10 Things We Learned From Bully Ray On Stone Cold’s Broken Skull Sessions Podcast
8. What He Said To Vince McMahon
The first meeting with JR and McMahon was...interesting.
Ray, ever the loudmouth, looked Vince right in the eye and asked: "Can we talk about the push?". He wanted to know how he and D-Von would be used in the WWF's tag-team division if they signed on the dotted line. Smiling, Vince replied, "Bubba, there is no such thing as the push. There is, however, opportunity".
This was a big learning moment for both Dudleyz. They realised that McMahon wasn't into concrete plans; another lesson came when Bubba said that he and D-Von were old-school heels who wouldn't sign autographs or take pictures with fans. Vince put his hand on Ray's and said that they would do both of those things.
It was a positive meeting all in though, and the team felt comfortable knowing that they'd be working for such a strong leader. On 'Broken Skull', Austin was surprised by some of the things Bubba had said to Vince. That took some balls.
