Joe Tessitore has been heavily praised for his work on WWE Monday Night RAW so far. Pwinsider is reporting that there was a lot of positive talk regarding his work on Monday’s show.
Additionally, several of the legends who appeared on WWE SmackDown’s USA Network return were booked with just a day or two’s notice. This is something Rob Van Dam confirmed on the latest edition of his podcast.
During a recent edition of the “Insight with Chris Van Vliet” podcast, Otis recalled the massive crowd reaction he received when he finally stood up to Chad Gable over the summer.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the crowd’s reaction to his standing up to Gable: “Oh yeah. In my words, in Gorilla, I go, ‘I’m so f*cking hard right now.’ [Laughs] It was the coolest s**t, and there’s still a lot of story there too. It’s just one of those things organically, me and Gable, we don’t have to talk much about how we’re gonna do it, if that makes sense. It’s kind of like he knows how I would react. He’s seen me pissed, he’s seen me cry, he’s seen me all this stuff, so he knows what I gotta’ do to kind that switch on because again, it kind of was funny because everyone’s like, ‘Make sure you look serious,’ and I’m going, ‘Guys, you ever see me get pissed off in real life?’ Pretty scary. [Laughs] It’s not hard to get pissed. Usually I’m pretty chill.”
On his shoving Gable during the segment: “I remember going, ‘Is the push enough?’ I was like, let’s try it out. Because I’m thinking club him, slam him.”
