Les jeunes lutteurs sont-ils moins motivés ?

Dans une entrevue pour le journal britannique The Sun, The Big Show a critiqué sévèrement la nouvelle génération de lutteurs.

Il souligne que ça prend bien sûr du talent, mais surtout beaucoup de travail pour réussir. Les "main-eventers", selon lui, ne se plaignent pas de leurs horaires chargés. Ils donnent leur maximum afin que la compagnie - en l'occurrence la WWE - ait du succès.

The Big Show se demande pourquoi les jeunes lutteurs ne profitent pas de la chance qu'ils ont pour gravir d'autres échelons.

Talent will get you so far, but work ethic is the key. That's the thing that the guys on top have. We don't complain about flights. We don't complain about not going home. We don't complain about having an hour's sleep and then doing interviews at 5am. That's why we're on top — because we step up to the plate and do whatever it takes to make the company succeed. A lot of people aren't willing to do that, they're happy and content to be where they are. I really do think that is strange, and it plagues a lot of older guys in the locker room. We can't understand why they are not taking these opportunities. But let them be content. I'll stay on top!

The Big Show louange John Cena pour ses nombreux efforts. Il croit qu'il est le lutteur qui travaille le plus fort.

They've got every opportunity in the world to grab the ring and get to the top. Look at John Cena — he is singularly the hardest working guy in our business. I flat out have so much respect for John and the work ethic that he puts in. He might not go home for two months between wrestling shows, interviews, appearances and charity work. And that's the thing that John Cena has above everyone else — it comes down completely to work ethic.

Tout le monde dit que Cena bosse comme un malade pour la WWE et des fois ça se voies.
