“Wrestling, I think, has always, sometimes to a fault, embraced people that we believe can get eyeballs on our product. And eyeballs on our product and people actually investing and buying tickets are two wildly different things. I think Pat was a wrestling fan who became famous outside the bubble and was afforded an opportunity to be invited in. Somewhere along the line he forgot that he is a tourist, and to me the invite can be easily rescinded, you know? Pat’s great at what he does. Pat is not great at what we do. If he wants to find… Cody is going to handle it. I got my hands full at WrestleMania with Roman. Poor Cody’s gotta deal with this guy.
“But, you know, when he disrespects the business and he says some things out of pocket, he’s gonna get checked, and he’s gonna get checked by me. You can’t be running your mouth about ticket sales and all this other stuff when you’ve never sold a ticket in your life. It would be like me trying to tell an NBA champion how to shoot a free throw.”
