Road Dogg: When It Comes To Being Off The Cuff On The Microphone, I Believe I’m Better Than The Rock

A take from Road Dogg about microphone skills.

Guest appearing on K & S WrestleFest for a virtual signing was Brian ‘Road Dogg’ James. He was asked to name his top five wrestlers on the microphone.

While giving his list, he shared his opinion that when it comes to being off the cuff on the microphone, he was better than Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

“I don’t know about this order, but I’m gonna go with it. Jake ‘The Snake.’ My father (‘Bullet’ Bob Armstrong). I’m gonna say my father, and damn you if you don’t agree. I’m gonna say Dusty Rhodes… Well look, (Ric) Flair was always great but, to me, it’s about grabbing the person…. Ted DiBiase was always good but he didn’t catch my — oh! Roddy Piper. Piper always had a good story to tell, always grabbed a hold of you in some way… And then I’ll say… Chris Jericho. I don’t wanna say that, I’m gonna be honest with you,” James laughed. “Chris Jericho may be the same as The Rock and I may get a lot of heat for saying this and I apologize if I’m wrong — I didn’t hang around Rock backstage either — but I didn’t hang around Jericho enough to know if his stuff was scripted. I know all Rock’s stuff was thought about and written out, and I feel like Chris’ — it may be now because I saw something lately that I feel like was well thought out. But I don’t know, I feel like, off the cuff, I’m better than The Rock.”

In March, Road Dogg exited WWE. He was the co-lead writer of Friday Night SmackDown. To read his comments about his departure, click here.
