Brian Kendrick was recently a guest on the Steve Austin Show podcast. The 205 Live star spoke on a wide variety of topics about his WWE career and his return to the company. One of the most interesting parts was when he spoke about how some WWE stars today act backstage.

Kendrick says that even at his age and experience level, he is constantly picking the brains of the agents backstage and some of the other WWE stars that have been around. He says that some of the younger talent today aren’t doing that.

Instead of using the knowledge of someone backstage, some guys are using social media as a way to critique their matches:

“The problem is, they get back to the locker room. They have their sweat and their opponents sweat on them. They are not showering, they are looking their name up on Twitter. When they can hear all of this positive feedback from fans, who cares what a Dean Malenko has to say”

He also says that if guys aren’t on the card or booked for a show, they will leave the arena. Kendrick doesn’t understand why they aren’t sticking around and watching every match to try and get better. This is much different than when Kendrick was starting in WWE in the early 2000’s. You would have guys like the Undertaker, Eddie Guerrero and JBL making sure that all the talent were watching the matches and trying to improve.
