Layfield told Fox News Digital that he decided to partner with BZZR after learning that his favorite baseball team, the Texas Rangers, was doing business with the company.
“I have a good friend, I call him ‘Shooter’ (Chris) Dunn. He was previously in WWE. He’s currently on BZZR. BZZR seems like a great platform,” he said. “I’m a huge Texas Rangers fan, and the Rangers partnered with BZZR. My grandfather was blind, but he would listen to the Rangers on the radio every afternoon and every night for a few years before he passed away, and I would go over there and sit there with him.
“So I’m a big Ranger fan and they work with BZZR so I was interested because the Texas Rangers are interested in them but it seems like a great platform so I’m happy to be involved.”

BZZR calls itself “the world’s first streaming and social media platform built specifically for sports, without any of the nonsense or glitches.”
“Isn’t that great? You actually go on with something and you don’t expect anyone to tell you, ‘You suck,’ or ‘you look stupid,’ or you don’t know anything about anything. ‘Remember there was a big thing in the 1930s.’ No. Actually, I don’t remember because I have a life,” she told Fox News Digital.
“It’s incredible. I don’t know what you’re doing with social media, but the one thing that BZZR does, which is great, is that I think your name needs to be there, your picture needs to be there. People who hide behind pseudonyms or can become keyword warriors, it gives people a voice that some people shouldn’t have a voice. Some people should have a voice, but some people shouldn’t.”
