As noted, Bully Ray is featured as a guest on the latest edition of The Broken Skull Sessions podcast hosted by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
During his appearance on the popular WWE Network on Peacock program, the former member of The Dudley Boyz spoke about his first meeting with Vince McMahon and WWE, as well as how they were shot down when they suggested that they be old school heels.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On one of the first meetings he and D-Von had in WWE with Vince McMahon: "[We get] a meeting with Jim Ross. What we didn’t know is that it was with Jim Ross and Vince [McMahon]. There we are in JR’s office, just JR and Vince. We’re talking and going over a bunch of stuff. I remember saying to Vince, ‘Can we talk about the push?’. Because back in those days, you talked about your push. He said ‘Bubba, there is no such thing as the push. However, there is opportunity.’ That was a big learning moment for me right there, as far as how WWE [was going to operate]."
On telling McMahon that they are old school heels, but McMahon shot them down: "Me and D-Von being these heels, I remember saying to him “Vince, I just wanna let you know something. Me and D-Von are old school heels, we don’t sign autographs and we don’t take pictures. He started to chuckle and he put his hand on my knee like my dad would and goes ‘Bubba, not only will you sign autographs but you’ll take pictures also.’ Boom. Light bulb went off, and [we said] ‘Yes sir, we’ll take pictures and sign autographs."
