Brodie Lee: Vince saw me as a Backwoods Hillbilly

[MenacingMonk]

On Jericho’s podcast:

On the way Vince McMahon viewed him: “The way I do talk, Vince doesn’t see a person who looks like me, talking like me. I don’t think he could get over that. He saw a backwoods hillbilly who talked in a southern drawl. Being from Rochester and being somewhat eloquent, it didn’t compute with him. Arn [Anderson], maybe to the detriment, was one of my biggest supporters in meetings. Arn even said, ‘I’m gonna stop speaking up for you. I don’t think it’s doing you any favors.’ I had my supporters, just not vocal ones. Not ones that were willing to go to bat for me to a point. Once I fell into a role, no matter what I pitched, no matter what I showed anybody, I wasn’t digging my way out of it to the audience of one.”

It was a good listen. My favorite part was when Vince said "Do a southern accent" and he replied "Sir, I'm from New York"

Followed by Oh no you're right that is bad, no southern accent.....then the next tv on the script it said "Luke Harper, do a southern accent"

Isn’t he still playing a hillbilly?

No. It seems kinda of a knockoff of Vince being the higher power. Hopefully much better.

I would love to hear Vince's response to these kinds of things, like the Jon Moxley, Matt Hardy, Brodie Lee reasons why they left.

"Backwoods" you might want to change the title.

That made me. but i knew what he meant

In Vince's defense, lets see if his current run in AEW lasts 5-6 good years like his run as the "backwoods hillbilly"

He cant deny that the Wyatts was a good stable.

YOU FUKKING STOOOOGE!!

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Vince sees black and automatically sees comedic dancer, so it’s not surprising he’d see southern hillbilly looking at Brodie Lee.

 

[OmegaK2099]

They should have just let him talk in his normal voice, the accent really did make me see him as a hillbilly

 

[Peter Popoff]

The hillbilly role is outplayed and doesn't fit into his style of wrestling. He should've been in Braun's shoes and Braun should've stayed as Bray's muscle simply because Brodie has athleticism and can play a leader of his own.

YOU FUKKING STOOOOGE!!

You can scream and be sarcastic all you want, doesn't change the fact that you a stooge.
