Vince McMahon once had some harsh words for The Revival
After they got their release from WWE earlier this year, FTR fka The Revival appeared on Jim Cornette's podcast, and opened up on their WWE exit. Dax Harwood talked about their interaction with Vince McMahon after an incredible match with The New Day, and stated that Vince told the duo that they aren't Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard.

One thing I'll never forget he said, he looked at me and Cash and he said, "Everyone tells me you are the next Arn and Tully, you're the next great tag team. Well, that's the problem, you guys aren't Arn and Tully, you're just great professional wrestlers." And to me and Cash, we took that beaming with pride, he meant it as an insult. So I'm thinking to myself, ''So you're comparing us to two of the greatest of all time who have drawn a s**t-ton of money in this business and you're meaning that as an insult?"
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard formed The Brain Busters during their stint with WWE, back in the late 80s. They won the WWE Tag Team titles on one occasion. The duo was also a part of one of the most legendary groups in all of wrestling, The Four Horsemen. Vince McMahon certainly seemed to hold them in high regard, as he didn't flinch one bit while criticizing FTR by telling them that they weren't as good as the WWE Hall of Famers.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
