He remained with the faction until May this year, when he was released alongside stablemate Tonga Loa. With his non-compete clause coming to an end, he opened up about his tenure in WWE in an interview with Denise Salcedo.

Cobb said while he could have done more with what was given to him, the company could have given him more things to do.

“I don’t want to sound like just a bitter ex-employee or whatever. Could I have done more? Yes. Could they have given me more stuff to do? Yes, but at the same time, like somebody said, maximize your minutes. And I tried to do that. The first couple of months, I was more kind of one of those, ‘Yes, whatever you want from me.’ The last couple of months I was like, ‘Hey, man. Can I do more? Can I talk more on-screen? Because if I don’t show my personality, then I’m just the bodyguard number 2,'” he said.

The former NJPW star said he wanted to wrestle more and requested to be put on the Main Event TV show and in dark matches but was turned down.

“I wanted to do more, wrestle more, because that’s what you signed me for, based off my wrestling. New Japan, we don’t do too much character stuff or vignettes or anything like that. So I was like, ‘Well, you hired me for wrestling, so let me wrestle.’ I asked them, ‘You know what? Put me on Main Event. Put me on dark matches.’ They were like, ‘Well, we can’t really. Eh, we’ll see,'” he added.

Jeff Cobb said he can blame a lot of people for his WWE run

Talking to Denise Salcedo, Jeff Cobb talked about how his WWE run didn’t go the way he envisioned.

He said it was a dream to work in the promotion since he grew up as a fan of stars like Hulk Hogan and added that things could have gone better for him.

Cobb mentioned that he could blame a lot of people in WWE for how things turned out, but he doesn’t want to get angry over something he cannot control.
