Darren Young Talks About Being Released from WWE Last October

Former WWE Superstar and Tag Team Champion Darren Young recently spoke to ESPN.com about his reaction to being released from his WWE contract last October:

“I’d been doing so much PR work since I’ve been signed, I was one of WWE’s main guys that always did PR work."

“When I was a guest at the Clipper game, and then getting released 24 hours later, it was a little rough for me. A bit of a tough pill to swallow. I didn’t know why the release had happened. What was even rougher was that the release came right before my birthday on Nov. 2. I never even received the usual birthday message, so I was a little hurt by everything.”

Looking back at his career in WWE overall:

“I had to pay to try out in 2009,” Rosser recalled. “I paid $2,000 out of my own pocket just to try out. It was my last resort. I had the door shut in my face so many times with WWE, but I was consistent. Without commitment, you’ll never start, but most importantly, without consistency, you’ll never finish.”

“Nothing lasts forever, and I’ve had a wonderful career with WWE,” Rosser said. “I hope to continue my relationship with WWE as an LGBTQ ambassador or a talent scout. Michael Jordan can’t play basketball forever, and I can’t wrestle forever. So I’ve enjoyed my time from 2009 to 2017.”
