Bruce Prichard’s newest ‘Something to Wrestle’ podcast covered the WWE Great American Bash 2008 pay-per-view event where the WWE Executive talked about Trevor Murdoch’s release from the company that year.
Prichard revealed that he didn’t know why the company let Murdoch go but thinks the reason that ‘creative has nothing for you’ has no merit. This has been given as the reason for releasing someone by WWE numerous times over the years. Bruce said,
“I don’t know (why Trevor Murdoch was released from WWE). I really don’t know. So whether something happened that just was kept from everybody or who the hell ever really knows sometimes. Sometimes it’s budget reasons where you look at ‘em and go, ‘Well, we’re over so much and here’s that number’ and you find it that way. But, I’ve always hated from day one, always hated the ‘creative has nothing for you.’ That was, in my opinion, a cheap way to have to let someone go. Sometimes you just have to say, ‘Look man, We’re making cuts and unfortunately, we’re gonna have to cut you at this time. Door’s never shut, door’s always open. Things can happen’ but I have no idea what the reason was for Trevor to be cut. No idea at all.”
