Stevie Ray explains why he has never made the leap to the WWE and states that he did not want Harlem's heat to turn into a clown idiot

– Former WWE Superstar Ryback recently interviewed Stevie Ray, a member of WWE's Hall of Famer, for his podcast Conversations with the Big Guy. Stevie Ray explained why he had never tried to move to WWE after the WCW buyout by the company. Below are some highlights (h / t WrestlingInc.com).

Stevie Ray declares she does not want to go to the WWE after WCW: "When I stopped WCW, I went overseas for three and a half years. . I was going back and forth there. I did not want to go to the WWF; In fact, the last Nitro of the WCW I did not attend and they sent me a ticket, but I have always been in the spirit of the fact that it is a competition for me. This is the NFL against the AFL or the National League against the American League of Baseball. WCW vs WWF, to be honest with you, I did not want to go out like an ab ****. "

Stevie Ray, hearing from Vince McMahon and the WWE, buying WCW and choosing to leave: " We had fought for the team, but when I heard that Vince McMahon had entered and that sort of thing – that I knew how to come. It was as if you had seen the writing on the wall and placed it in the back of your mind, but at the end of the day, I knew it would happen. But I did not attend the last show because my brother [Booker T] said they would audition people. I told him that he should do it, but I finished it. "

Stevie Ray says she does not want Harlem Heat to become a joke gadget of the WWE: " That's what I wanted, I wanted people to remember Harlem Heat. as a thirsty color team, do you see what I say? I did not want us to be anything else. I did not want us to become a Doink the Clown, so I'm not saying they would have done that with Harlem Heat, but I did not want to lose the advantage we once had as Harlem Heat. But then, I had seen what they had done with my brother and his character. I was like, agree, that's what it is. Vince McMahon does it his way, but I'm not sorry, this is his series and he can do what he wants. But I just wanted people to be honest and break down. I wanted people to remember Harlem Heat as they remember them today. "
