WWE Hall Of Famer Condemns Popular Wrestling Style

WWE

A WWE Hall of Famer has criticized a wrestling style that gained popularity through NJPW saying “fans already know it’s a work.”

Speaking specifically about the “strong style” of wrestling that fashions wrestling matches around a “legitimate fight” presentation, Jake “The Snake” addressed his issues on The Snake Pit podcast (subscription required), saying:

“For those who like it, go ahead. Beat the sh*t out of each other.

“You know, there’s no need for it. The fans already know it’s a work, so why are you beating the f**k out of each other?

“Because you can? You want to show somebody how tough you are?

“If you want to show somebody how tough you are, go out on the street corner somewhere and pick a fight.”

Suffice to say that Roberts isn’t a fan of Strong Style, considering it to be a wrong style and concluding:

“I’d much rather have a match where two guys are trying to perform and give me their very best, you know what I’m saying? Make it exciting.”

Jake Roberts was also recently critical of Vince McMahon when it came to his return to WWE.

Speaking about his return to the company as a preacher character, Roberts called McMahon a “grudge-holding son of a b*tch.”
