Bully Ray was recently interviewed by Alex Obert of the "Journey of a Frontman" website. He was asked about his thoughts on Sting finally appearing in WWE. He said "If he?s happy, then I?m happy for him. It?s the one and only thing that he never did in his career. Lots of people wanted to see it. I also think there?s some people out there that didn?t want to see it because Sting was the last guy in wrestling who was really a household name who never needed the WWE or the WWE machine to be at the top of his game. But I think him going there and finishing out his career there with a couple more matches, maybe a shot at Wrestlemania, maybe that match against the Undertaker, I think people are gonna enjoy it. I know he?s gonna enjoy it. It was a pleasure being in the ring with him and I wish him all the best." To read the entire interview, click here.
