Tehuti Miles reflects on when Vince McMahon told him about WWE’s production.
Vince McMahon has always believed that WWE was in the entertainment business and all these years after Beyond the Mat and the famous quote, “We make movies,” Vince McMahon is still selling the same idea to WWE performers today.
Tehuti Miles, known as Ashane “Thee” Adonis in WWE, was not on the main roster for long but in the brief number of weeks that he was, Vince McMahon told him and Hit Row that WWE is a movie production and the actors do their own stunts.
“Man, I'm gonna tell you right now,” Tehuti Miles said on Casual Conversations with The Wrestling Classic. "This is word-for-word what Vince McMahon told me to my face on SmackDown. Well, actually, Hit Row, he told us to our face. He was like, ‘WWE is a movie production with actors who do their own stunts.’ That's literally word-for-word coming from Vince McMahon. You can quote that.. Like, that's literally what he said. I feel like most people don't treat it as that."
Miles further explained how he always gravitated toward the entertaining aspects of wrestling.
“I see people, I'm not gonna say names,” Miles continued. "But I see people that are all in WWE right now. They have been on TV for a while and are just figuring out who they are. They're just getting a character there. They're just doing it now. Which is crazy. Because when I got into WWE, I was only wrestling for two years and I knew who I was going to be. I knew like that. The stuff that you see me You saw me doing on 205 Live and Hit Row and all that stuff. That's what I was doing when I came into the PC.
“I signed August 14, 2019. I think that week, I had a PC Live, and this is like, in front of all the peers, like not in front of a crowd, but, Bianca and Street Profits, everybody. So, in the entrance, nobody knew who I was. In the in my entrance. I was like, Man, I got to pop them somehow. I was like, I gotta do something. I just figured out when I was making my entrance, and I remember I was walking down the ramp. then I went around, and then I had seen Vanessa.. So I had kind of walked by her. Then, I kind of did an about-face turned towards her. I was like, ‘Take my hand,’ so she went to go take my hand, and I went to go kiss her hand, and then I blew it back on her face, and they popped huge. All people that are in WWE wrestling, you know? Then I continued with my entrance. I was like, that's how you do it,” said Miles.
Miles and The HitMakerZ recently wrestled at GCW For The Culture. Check out the results here.
