Michael Hayes Comments On Chelsea Green Controversy From WWE Unreal, Says Parts “Never Saw The Light Of Day” and Were “On The Cutting Room Floor”
WWE Hall of Famer Michael P.S. Hayes recently came under fire after some comments he made about WWE Superstar Chelsea Green made their way into the new season of WWE Unreal on Netflix.
Hayes received a lot of blowback online due to comments he made during a segment from the latest season of WWE Unreal on Netflix. Hayes was shown talking about WWE Superstar Chelsea Green, where he stated that while Chelsea is entertaining, she is not built for, nor should she be in the same role as Charlotte Flair or Tiffany Stratton, because her job is to help make those people.
“Chelsea is so entertaining. But she is not built for, nor should she be in the Charlotte Flair role or Tiffany Stratton.. because Chelsea’s job is to help make those people.”
Michael Hayes was the guest on the latest episode of the Six Feet Under podcast with The Undertaker, and he addressed the Chelsea Green controversy. Hayes claimed that when he first started the interview for WWE Unreal, that the first thing he said was “Chelsea is as good or as talented and entertaining as anyone we have.” However, that apparently never made it to the final cut and was “left on the cutting room floor.”
Hayes went on to say that “if you’re gonna make me a heel, that’s the best way to do it,” before attempting to explain himself in more detail.
“When we started that interview, the first thing I said was, ‘Chelsea is as good or as talented and entertaining as anyone we have.’ But of course, that never saw the light of day. That was on the cutting room floor because if you’re gonna make me a heel, that’s the best way to do it. To say she’s not good enough. That’s not really what I was saying. I don’t regret what I said because her role at the time I said that, and even right now, is not the top role. It is to help make other people. As we all know, we’re only as good as the people who help make.
“Now with that said, if Chelsea caught fire because of this following and the support she has, we’d go with that in a heartbeat. Look at Daniel Bryan. Look at Kofi Kingston. When they both caught fire, we went with it. Whether some people up top agreed with it or not, they went with it because that’s what the people wanted. We’re not there right now with Chelsea, and quite frankly, just my opinion. The people that support Chelsea now, if we started pushing her, would fade because she was getting a push from the machine. ‘If she’s getting a push from the machine, then she doesn’t need my help…’
“To her credit, she knows her role. She does it and plays it with a smile… I spoke what I felt to be the truth. All the truth is not out there. That’s okay. People have hated me since the beginning of time and if you ask me a question, I’m gonna try to tell you the truth. I still fear that if we get behind her, it hurts that rebel support.”
