WWE WWE had its most recent batch of talent cuts on September 21, with many WWE stars across the main roster and NXT being released from their contract.
One of the names released was Rick Boogs, who had only made sporadic appearances for the company after returning from a torn ACL he suffered at WrestleMania 38.
Boogs has taken to his YouTube channel in the days following his departure from the company, where he claimed that his release was due to a ‘backstage political power play’.
Furthermore, Boogs also noted that the removal of Vince McMahon as the head of WWE creative ‘killed’ his career in the company, and that one person has a ‘weird grudge’ against him.
In the comments of his YouTube video, he wrote:
I can say with 100% certainty, the removal of Vince killed my career
Replying to a separate comment, he wrote:
Pretty much everyone in the corporate side of the company agreed (about him being the “ideal” WWE star due to his size, look and personality) which is why I was always the third party guy doing commercials for Old Spice, Snickers, Mikes Hard Lemonade, and Toyota however, one person clearly has some weird grudge against me
