He said;
“I remember when The Usos used to play with my sons in catering at the events, throwing paper plates like frisbees around, and it’s one of thos. Thengs, Then, I’m looking across the ring And it’s The Dudleyz versus ,The Usos and I’m like, ‘Wow, talk about the change. ‘Good God, it blew my mind,” he said. “So for them to come to me and ask me, ‘Is it okay if we use The 3D?’
“I looked at them and said, F Yeah, but I didn’t say ‘F.’ You know what I said. I said, ‘I would love for you guys to do that. I showed them and told them different things about how to do it. Keep the opponent’s legs closed, and have them stand straight up. Even when he’s coming backward, stay straight, don’t fall backward with them.
“When they hit it the first time, I was home actually recuperating from back surgery when I saw it. I’m watching the pay-per-view, and suddenly, I looked and went, ‘They just hit 3D! Did they just hit 3D?’ I was like, ‘Oh, shit; they did,’ he continued. “Then, of course, the fans were like, Oh, ‘I can’t believe that 3D, that’s disrespectful.’
“Then I went on Twitter and said, ‘go f yourselves.’ I go, ‘They asked for permission to use it. They didn’t need to ask, but they asked for permission. They were being nice about it, and they hit it perfectly. Leave these guys alone.’ Let the new generation be what you want us to be back in the day. Because when me and Bubba, and The Hardy Boys, and Edge and Christian came on the scene, nobody believed in us.”
