WWE SmackDown Live commentator JBL and Monday Night RAW commentator Corey Graves recently talked on a variety of subjects on a recent episode of Bring It To The Table. Here are the highlights:
On comparing today’s WWE to the Attitude Era:
JBL:
“Like, this is like Stephen Curry saying that [The NBA’s current Golden State Warriors] are better than the ’96 [Chicago] Bulls, okay? This is a great roster. That was, I think, the best roster in the history of the business back then.” JBL added, “there is so much talent right now, but I think they’re right in the mid-stage of an evolution phase and once they hit it, I think they may be the greatest era. I don’t think they are now.”
Corey Graves:
“There’s so much talent right now. I argue we could start an all Japanese [pro] wrestling show with the amount of Japanese talent we have right now. There is so much talent! Now, we may not have at the moment that transcendent next-level ‘Stone Cold’ or The Rock, but I assure you, they’re there.”
On Sami Zayn:
JBL:
“I’d rather be waterboarded than to sit down and talk [pro] wrestling with Sami Zayn. I would rather be captured by ISIS than have to have dinner with Sami Zayn.”
