WWE Catches Up with Mike Adamle

On WWE.com, from time to time, “Where Are They Now?” pieces are published, catching up with former WWE talent. The most recent edition of the feature looked at Mike Adamle’s WWE career, and what he has done since. Adamle had a brief stint with WWE in 2008, which lived in infamy for his constant mistakes.

Adamle commented on his WWE debut at the 2008 edition of the “Royal Rumble.” At the event, he mistakenly called former WWE Superstar Jeff Hardy, “Jeff Harvey:”

“It was kind of petrifying, to tell you the truth. You would think that with a lot of the live experience that I had, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but that place was packed and I learned from the get-go that WWE fans were a different breed. They know more about their sport than football fans know about football and baseball fans know about baseball. They know everything.”

Also, Adamle spoke about his WWE departure, and said he’d be open to a return:

“It was pretty devastating to be let go. Mr. McMahon had brought me into his office and said, ‘We’re going to end this, today is your last show.’ I would come back in a heartbeat. It’s something I wanted to be a part of and wanted to be successful at. I still think about the people at WWE, because they were great. I miss a lot of them. I miss the atmosphere.”

The piece also mentions what Adamle is up to now. Following his WWE departure, he returned to a previous job at a NBC affiliate in Chicago, Ill. In his free time, he trains for triathlons. The 64-year-old has completed at least four Ironman triathlons.

Closing, Adamle noted:

“I will never stop being an athlete, ever.”

Sorry, Adamle, but WWE will not be bringing you back any time soon.
