Jim Duggan Believes His Generation Of Wrestlers Were ‘Much More Creative’, Current Generation Is ‘Much More Athletic’

Jim Duggan speaks about his generation of pro wrestlers in comparison with the current generation, noting each ones strengths.

Wrestlers from previous generations have never been shy in discussing the current generation and comparing them to their own, and a WWE Hall Of Famer has now compared the two generations’ creativity and athleticism.

While speaking to Clutchpoints in a new interview, Jim Duggan would compare his generation with the current one, noting that his may have been more creative, but the current generation is much more athletic.

“ Well, the old generation, it was different. I mean, now, as I said, it was before sports entertainment. And you know, nowadays, WWE, Undertaker, when they, they had the wrestlers’ court, and, you know, they’d sit, and they’d argue and talk over things. Back in the territory days, ‘Can I talk to you in the shower?’ It was a different deal. Bruiser Brody got stabbed to death in the shower. A lot of business was taken care of in the shower. But it, it was different. Nowadays, I think my generation of guys was much more creative, I think. You know, ’cause we all came up with our own gimmick. I think this generation of guys is much more athletic,” 

Elsewhere in the same interview, Duggan took shots at talent ‘crying and whining’ on Dark Side Of The Ring. You can read more about that here.
