random thought i had recently. i was listening to a podcast episode. for those familiar it was AEW Unrestricted, one with Shelton Benjamin. for those unfamiliar its a podcast hosted by a ref and one of the BTS guys. kind of like how Jericho has Talk Is Jericho. Been a while since I had listened but I was interested cuz it was Shelton. So I was thinking how I don't really see any of that from WWE. I know the new day had their podcast last year or 2022 or whenever it was which I enjoyed, and Austin has his tho I haven't seen any new episodes made in a while. but I haven't seen anything since thats in-house. Unless I haven't heard of one. does cory graves have one or had one? maybe another announcer or backstage person? not no wrestling review shows or anything like that but hosts talking to guests that are WWE wrestlers. I know Ice Cube son Oshea Jackson has one and I've enjoyed it so far. he had Punk, Trick, and I saw the latest one has Dom so I gotta check that out tomorrow. I like throwing stuff like that on when I'm working out so if there is something thats from WWE it be cool to check out.

Tito Santana has opened up about the mistreatment of stars under the old WWE regime.

The WWE Hall of Famer recently had an interview with VOC Nation’s Wrestling with History podcast. He discussed things such as signing a new legends deal with the company, appearing at Saturday Night’s Main Event and more.

Discussing how the old management treated its stars, Santana claimed that they were not very nice. He noted how a lot of talents from their time went broke because of poor financial management:

“They weren’t very nice (to us). I’m doing ok, thank God. I had another career, and I didn’t blow my money away. But so many of my friends, you know, were just left in the dust… I gave Vince my notice – not too many people give Vince their notice – I gave Vince my notice in ’93.”
Tito Santana had three different runs with WWF through his active years. The longest of the three runs lasted from 1983 to 1993. During this time, he became the first Mexican American wrestler to win the Intercontinental Championship.

The wrestling veteran also wrestled in the opening match at the very first WrestleMania from MSG in 1985 where he defeated The Executioner.

Speaking about his time in the company, the 71 year old claimed that the officials should have paid them a lot more than what they got:

“Should Vince have done a lot more with Tito Santana? I feel like, yeah. But I could have also done a lot worse without Vince McMahon. I appreciate everything he did. I was there longer than anyone else…
I got there before Hulk in 1983, and I was there when he left…Him and I were the only ones that were there for Wrestlemania one through nine…I think we should have gotten paid more than what we did, especially for our merchandise.
This new company is paying us more than what the WWF was paying us. They could have taken (better) care of the boys, but I don’t really hold any grudges.”
Santana also revealed that the new WWE management had tried to bring him in for appearances on multiple occasions in the past but he had declined the offer.
