“It felt like it turned into the business wrestling instead of the wrestling business. It just feels like WWE right now, for me, was a money grab… it didn’t feel right. I wanted to step away,’ he said.

The veteran added that he wasn’t enjoying the job anymore and didn’t feel like he was earning his paycheck.

“They were firing on all cylinders and making money and records… and I was complacent. I felt like I wasn’t earning, I was getting a check, but I felt like I wasn’t earning it, and I wasn’t having any fun either. It got to be so much work that it stopped being fun,” he added. (H/T: Wrestling News)

Dogg was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a member of D-Generation X in 2019.

Former WWE writer comments on Road Dogg’s departure

Wrestling veteran Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts on Road Dogg’s decision to leave the company.

Speaking on The Coach and Bro Show, Russo suggested that the former champion realized that there were more important things in life than wrestling while he was in the company.

“I think, and I do not know this for a fact, I think Road Dogg saw Unreal and saw from the outside looking in how unhappy he was and how frustrated he was. I think he saw that, and I think he just asked himself the question, ‘What am I doing, man?’ The guy has had a long and illustrious career, he made a lot of money, he’s still employable if he ever wants to go back, but I think really the reality of life sunk in, and he’s basically saying, ‘Guys, I am not a lifer. There are things in my life that are more important.’”

It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Road Dogg in the world of professional wrestling following his WWE exit.
