Rhino has been a fixture in pro wrestling for decades, from ECW to WWE, TNA, and the independent scene. But even after all these years, he admits the love from fans is often bigger than what hes actually booked to do on TV.
During an interview with The Wrestling Classic, Rhino opened up about how hes still getting massive crowd reactions even though hes not always part of major storylines. He credited the fans for keeping his name alive and even revealed that people within WWE have taken notice of the disconnect.
Rhino didnt throw direct shots at any company, but its not hard to read between the lines. His comments reflect a reality plenty of veteran stars face where the fan support is undeniable, but the booking doesnt always follow.
Its a situation thats played out with countless talents over the years, both in WWE and AEW. Despite fan reactions that prove their value, certain names often find themselves underutilized or sidelined altogether.
Rhino, known for his no-nonsense approach and genuine connection to the audience, clearly isnt bitter. But his words speak to a larger issue in wrestling where organic reactions sometimes clash with corporate plans.
