He notes that some people leave WWE with a huge chip on their shoulder, looking to prove to WWE that they should have been a main-eventer. Others just decide to work the indies when and where they please. Rhodes obviously has a chip on his shoulder and is looking to prove something to WWE, whereas someone like Morrision pursued other interests and works sporadically.

Ryback informs that he didn’t leave WWE because of the money, adding that they paid him very well. He knew that WWE was going to “job him out” and then fire him, and he didn’t want that so he let his contract expire. Health also became a huge concern for him so he only wrestled sporadically after leaving WWE. He took a very different path than a lot of performers who leave the company.
That sums up this week’s episode of Conversation With the Big Guy. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
