Busted
Open Radio conducts interesting and impressive interview
with John Layfield re:
WWE Crown Jewel, Saudi Arabia, Smackdown Memories,
Charity -19th October 2018
John
Layfield: "You have a right not to go and I feel very confident that WWE
will not insist anybody go. Certain people didn't want to go to Iraq. For different
reasons, they felt their safety might be in jeopardy," he said. "But
certain people didn't want to go. There were people that didn't agree with the
9/13 show, two days after 9/11, in Houston. Vince made it very clear, 'If you
don't want to be here...not an issue. No repercussions and there won't be any
fallback from this. It's simply your choice.' I think it will be the same with
Saudi Arabia."
WWE
legend John "Bradshaw" Layfield joined Dave & Bully in studio to
discuss his thoughts on WWE Crown Jewel, the business and personal reasons why
WWE should/shouldn't go, his favorite memories of Smackdown, charities and much
more.
