This past weekend at WWE World, Bully Ray discussed his current relationship as teacher and student with BJ Ray. Ray referenced A Bronx Tale, sharing his personal experience, and quoted Chazz Palminteri's line about wasted talent.
'I'm going to lay out, I'm going to let LFG do the talking. Here's what I will say: You heard, you saw the clip, you listened to the clip. I put BJ over, I spoke highly of him despite him being his own worst enemy. I put him over. Whatever happens to BJ will be on BJ.'
'He is the… And she's shaking her head. Why are you shaking your head, Danny? Why are you shaking? I'm going to call you out. Why are you shaking your head? Because you agree, and I'm sure every coach agrees, and I'm sure every other BJ will succeed because of BJ, or BJ will fail because of BJ. Have you ever seen a movie called A Bronx Tale. You guys see A Bronx Tale? What does Chazz Palminteri say to a young Calogero? The saddest thing in the world is wasted talent. Especially in our business. Will BJ be wasted talent? Watch the rest of LFG.'
Just in case he's wondering… Mickey Mantle isn't going to pay your rent, either, BJ.

Liv Morgan Injured On WWE RAW
Unfortunately, Liv Morgan suffered an injury tonight on WWE RAW. Early on in his match against Kairi Sane, Sane gave Morgan a simple takedown maneuver. Morgan used her arms to cushion the fall, but in doing so, she suffered a dislocated shoulder, and the match was stopped.
