BJ Ray: I Think That I’m The Future Of The Business, I’m Trying To Save The Wrestling Industry
BJ Ray believes that he is trying to save the wrestling industry.
Since entering the world of professional wrestling in 2024, ‘Sexy’ BJ Ray has maintained his status as one of the most controversial figures in the entire business. Some may hate him, other may love him, but one thing remains fact — Ray creates conversation on a regular basis.
Speaking with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp for a new interview, Ray said that he’s trying to save the wrestling industry.
“I like to think of myself as the nicest guy in the world. I think I should start calling myself the Nice Guy, because I think I’m the biggest baby face. Oh, yeah, 100%. You know what’s crazy is, not to toot my own horn, I think that I’m the future of this business. I think what I’m trying to do is save the wrestling industry. Kind like Maxwell over there. I think he kind of laid the ground and he was doing it right and better than anybody’s doing it right now. I think that we’re in this weird time where they’re pulling back the curtain and kayfabe.”
Ray continued on and said that he’s trying to bring back kayfabe and make things exciting again.
“You see it with LFG, you see it with the Netflix show and you see these things and it’s hard to make it as exciting as it was back in the 90s and Attitude Era and all those things because it was just so much more real. So I’m really trying to bring that back, and I want to bring back, and obviously there’s people in this industry that have egos, there’s people that actually get upset and they’re like, ‘Oh, that’s not the traditional route of how you do things,’ ‘Oh, you’re taking it too far,’ ‘Oh, you’re pissing this person off.’ Well, you know, F them. Like, you could cry about it, you could complain about it, that you’re not getting as much attention as me, but at the end of the day, I’m gonna do whatever it takes to make it to the top.”
