But which wrestlers is he most proud of bringing in? In an interview with Metro, he revealed a couple names. \u201cI don\u2019t really like singling anyone out, but Sasha Banks. I\u2019ve known her since she was 18, and the previous people that were doing what I\u2019m doing now wouldn\u2019t even give her the time of day. When I was asked by Triple H to be part of that team, of which there is nobody still here who was in the team at the time, I kept asking to bring her in, to which people replied \u2018oh no, there is nothing in her, she\u2019s useless.\u2019Sasha was the first person I went to bat for, and her development is a great thing to see.&#8221; He also revealed another name he&#8217;s proud of bringing in and talked about the type of athletes NXT is looking to sign.

Apparently, she&#8217;s getting pretty sick of the question, as she revealed on The Masked Man podcast. \u201cA lot of people ask me \u2018when are you going to turn heel?\u2019 When are you going to turn heel?\u2019 Like, I don\u2019t care. Because guess what? I\u2019m going to be in the WWE for a very long time, so you\u2019re going to see both versions of myself. For a while. So people need to shut up. That\u2019s what I\u2019m sick of hearing. When are you going to turn heel? And then once I turn heel, \u2018when are you going to turn babyface?\u2019 You guys just need to shut up and let me do me, okay?

He was so unsure how the fans would react after being so familiar seeing him as a babyface for so long. There was a big part of Hulk Hogan that loved being a heel, and once he connected to that character, and once the audience connected to that character, he thoroughly enjoyed it.&#8221; Eric also talked about some of Hogan&#8217;s heel inspirations as well as why The Great Muta joined the NWO.

Once they had the match at Starrcade you could feel that it had to end at that time because one of them was going to kill the other one.\u201d She also spoke about Charlotte Flair, how working with Dusty Rhodes could be difficult, and more.

So when WWE signed him, did Vince McMahon have any plan in using him as more than an on-air talent? On Something to Wrestle With, Bruce Prichard said the idea was absolutely not even considered. \u201cNope. It was \u2018let\u2019s bring him in as a talent, let\u2019s see how he does, let\u2019s get to know him and find out what\u2019s there.\u2019 He had a lot of baggage. Unequivocally, that was ruled out. That was made clear to Eric, it was also made clear to us that he\u2019s coming in as a talent only, he has no creative say so in anything. He\u2019d be an on-air talent, that\u2019s it.\u201d Bruce also talked about who let Eric know a call from Vince was coming, which member of management warned him of the heat he had in the locker room, and more.
