Today The Two-Man Power Trip of
Wrestling welcomes the very out-
spoken and often controversial,
"Hustler" Rip Rogers. No stranger to
the world of pro wrestling, Rogers
made his name as a veritable utility
performer in many territories
throughout the 1980s as he brought
the "Hustler" persona to prominence
in such places as Stampede, Memphis,
Portland and Mid-Atlantic. But it has
been his time as a trainer that has
propelled him to become a well
respected and sought after coach to
many stars both past and present and
his unique blend of motivation and
harsh critiquing of a performance have
left fans wanting to know more about
just how Rip Rogers can open up a can
of smack talk on someone in the snap
of a finger. Enjoy Episode number 193
at this link and go back and listen to
past episodes of The Two Man Power
Trip of Wrestling on Podomatic.

Rip Rogers On The Wellness Policy
Suspension of Roman Reigns:
"I don't know what to say. They know
they are going to get drug tested and
his spot is already secure so there isn't
any reason to do it. It's not like you are
training for the Olympics and
everybody else is on it. It is a cosmetic
thing. Just get up earlier and train
harder it is that simple. He is already
figured in and they've said no matter
how rotten you are that we are going
to go with you. But it's not his fault
because you've got to remember years
ago if you had ten years in a territory
and had a few thousand matches you
learned to work with some real tag
team specialists and had different
kinds of gimmicks. You would get to
cut a promo and see every angle of
television and now all of a sudden
they are taking (excuse me) goofs off
the street or they are "Indy" guys that
had twenty-four matches this year
and are now a veteran an they take
them and they put them in
developmental with these guys
(trainers) that have never made any
money and all of a sudden they are
idolized and that has to go to their
heads. No normal person could just be
"Joe" off the street and become a
worldwide television star. All of a
sudden every girl in the world wants to
give him a bl*w job and what the f*ck
are you supposed to do? You are a
God-damn nobody that should have
been working in a factory are saying
holy sh*t I am over."
Is the Performance Center going to
hurt how the WWE produces its future
talent:
"I always say that it's the professional
wrestling business because I don't give
a f*ck about "sports entertainment"
and I've never even seen Roman
Reigns work and in fact I've only
watched one hour (of WWE) since
2002. So most of the guys I've never
seen but I've seen stuff on Twitter but
I have no idea how they work. But you
can't have a McDonald's hamburger
and have every other hamburger be
the same. You've got to have a Dick
"The Bruiser", Mad Dog Vachon or
Wahoo McDaniel or even a "Playboy"
Buddy Rose or "Superstar" Billy
Graham and you need all guys that are
different. Every match needs to be
different and needs different
psychology." Not every guy needs
music or music means nothing. Not
every guy needs cut abs or abs mean
nothing.
The WWE television shows being way
too long:
"Well they obviously don't give a sh*t
because they are selling their dolls
and their gimmicks but they've got
three hours for RAW and that is too
long for wrestling. Now, it is three
hours long because of the money that
they get from USA or whatever they
network they are on. But when you
are sitting there in the audience and
you get people who swear they are
never going to go to watch wrestling
again because they are sitting there
for six hours with pre-shows, the main
event after the show and blah blah
blah,. All of this is on a school night
and a work night and it is basically
saying to you that you will never want
to come back here again."
