Road Dogg: “Not Everybody Was A Fan Of Chelsea Green Like I Was… They Were Getting Hot At Me”

James offers high praise for Chelsea Green.

Former WWE SmackDown co-lead writer Brian ‘Road Dogg’ James participated in a virtual signing, and one of the questions asked of him was to share a storyline idea that did not make it to television.

He had an idea for Zoey Stark. He praised her in-ring work and called her the best female wrestler he’s seen in a long time. He went on to confirm Chelsea Green’s past comments about Stark being in the Secret Hervice (Chelsea Green, Piper Niven & Alba Fyre).

James stated that he would’ve had Stark and Fyre ambush Niven and put her on the shelf for about six months. He said eventually Stark and Fyre would turn on Green. He thought the idea was great, but said not everyone was a fan of Green like he was. He stated that people were getting hot at him. James went on to describe Green as a national treasure.

“I wanted Zoey Stark — yeah (she still works at WWE). She’s just getting healthy. She blew her leg out. Best female wrestler I’ve seen in a long time and her ring work is second to none. So I wanted her and then, Alba Fyre, to take over for Chelsea. They were gonna turn on Piper (Niven) and put her out and put her through a table. Like really send her away for six months or something, and now you have these great two workers standing behind Chelsea… And then, you have ‘em realize, this dingbat. Hey, you turn on her. Piper comes back. They have a tag, then we go into a singles with Chelsea and Zoey and I think she would make it great but, not everybody was a fan of Chelsea Green like I was. I was trying to make America Green again, and they were sitting there getting hot at me.” James was asked who didn’t like Chelsea, and he said, “Well, I don’t know… I totally understand people not seeing her worth if you’re only looking through a top guy lens. Like if you’re only looking for a main event of WrestleMania, I can see you not having her in that vision. But I also see the potential that she could be in that vision. I firmly believe that and I’ll go to my grave believing it, and she’s the right kind of human being. She’s a workhorse. She says no to nothing and yes to everything. She kicked a 40-yard field goal with a broken ankle. For the love of God, the girl’s a national treasure.”

Chelsea Green shared that WWE producer Michael Hayes apologized to her for comments he made about her while filming the WWE: Unreal show for Netflix. For more on that, click here.
