WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi: “I feel 100% that Chelsea Green is a main eventer”

It’s not that Chelsea can’t do the work. It’s not that Chelsea is not a prime talent performer. But the thing is how you’re writing stuff for this girl. Give Chelsea a fair opportunity. Build Chelsea up as much as you would give a Charlotte Flair an opportunity. Give Chelsea that big, crazy entrance. I mean, really put it all out for her and don’t worry about the work. Let her do that. She’s got that on point.

But she can’t get over by herself if she’s out there having great matches and continuing to do jobs for whoever because you feel that next person needs to excel to the next level or for whatever storyline you’ve got.

My thing is, with good talent, you only get good talent once in a while. And when you finally find that good talent, such as a Chelsea Green, you want to make sure you protect her. If you don’t have anything for her, put her on the shelf for a second, right? Let it marinate with whatever they’re doing with the next person, blah blah blah.

But when that time comes — because you know just in case that angle doesn’t go through or that person gets hurt — you have a person like Chelsea Green waiting right here.

Chelsea Green has a very special place in my heart.”
