Rick Boogs on His WWE Release: “I’m Better Than Ever Right Now”

Former WWE superstar Rick Boogs was recently interviewed by Chris Van Vliet, where he discussed several topics. Among them were his release from WWE, his future in professional wrestling, Vince McMahon, and more.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

Boogs on his release from WWE:

“I’m great. Yeah, I’m better than ever right now. I’m at. I mean, where do we want to start? Let’s talk about this. So basically, I started a YouTube channel. It’s like, I’m just gonna lead the interview.”

Boogs On if he knew his release was coming:

“Well, dude, I mean, if you want to talk about my second run on the main roster. I mean, I kind of saw the writing on the wall, but it wasn’t like, ‘Alright, well let me get ready for it’. This is just, basically, thank God for my YouTube community and stuff because I always knew I had that. I have an awesome community.”

Boogs On if he will wrestle again:

“No. When I first decided I was going to do wrestling, pursue it, I had to be all in on something. So like, I was doing strength and conditioning stuff, personal training. I was like, if I’m gonna commit to this other endeavor, I just quit my job. I have a wife and a daughter. I just got unemployed for the sake of you know, getting hungry that I really wanted to make it happen, which my wife was not happy about. She was like, ‘Why did you have to quit?’”

Boogs On Vince McMahon:

“I mean, I guess, if you just look at it objectively, like look at my NXT run, and then look at, you know, when I was seen by Vince, and look at that run, and then when management or the whole regime changed again, look at that run. So a lot of people say, ‘Oh, but he was injured.’ I think I can say this, I was supposed to be brought back earlier (on camera), like, when I wasn’t even cleared yet, a month or two after rehab and I was really planning on it. I was pumped. Like, ‘Oh, man, like, I can’t really bend my knee yet. Let’s get back up there, and that was just kibosh.”
