Bull Buchanan Talks Return To RAW, His Wrestling School And More
Arda Ocal and Jimmy Korderas of Aftermathadio on thescore.com recently spoke with former WWE superstar Bull Buchanan. Here are some highlights:
His wrestling school "B2 Wrestling School," proper training and and the current crop of next generation superstars: "There's just a lack of places for guys to go. If you can find someone to train you, you go right to the big show, which is WWE. There's lots of indy promotions out there, but there's a big difference doing this part time and making a big living doing this. 'Cause when you're living your lives on this, your living a little more pro-active, and you realize you're only getting paid if you're putting the people in the seats."
What lead to his return to RAW on the segment with with Mick Foley and John Cena: "Johnny called me and said they had an idea and asked if I was available, I said yeah, so they flew me up to Boston. It was a lot of fun, 'cause I got to meet some of the guys that I haven't had a chance to meet. I got to hang out with some my buddies, Big Show, The Armstrongs, Teddy Long, Mark Henry. It was a lot of fun man, a lot of fun."
Teaming and working with The Big Bossman (Ray Traylor): "Ray was one of the greatest guys I've ever met. He really got me straight with the money, he really showed me a lot in the ring, and really showed me a lot of the stuff outside the ring. Traveling with him was a blast, but at times it would be a roller-coaster (laughs)."
If he has plans to write a book about his career: "I don't know, I've seen a lot of guys do that. I really don't know if I've got anything to say that anyone would actually pay to hear (laughs). To me, some of the best stuff never gets told."
