Now we have guys tell the fans what’s happening the week before, and they’re like, ‘Don’t tell anybody I told you – just say that I’m really good…’ (laughs) “That’s was why it was so successful in the past and why we had riots in stadiums because people didn’t know. “They have fans they will cater to, just so they say, ‘You were great!’ Some of the Wrestlers are marks, you know, they’re catering for the guys on the Internet! ‘Please say I’m good…say something good about me…I’ll tell you anything you want to know…’ You know, our guys are the worst for it – they tell the fans what’s going to happen.
