WWE Hall of Famer & AEW’s Jake Roberts is hoping that those recently released from WWE realize the potential for big things outside of the promotion.
Last month saw WWE release over a dozen Superstars from WWE & NXT, days after cutting over 100 employees from their offices in Stamford, CT.
During the latest edition of his “Snake Pit” podcast, Roberts spoke about releases in wrestling and how things were during his time in the ring. He said,
“Brother, it happens, man. It’s an evil f—ing business, you know? But, hey, look at it this way: it might be your biggest break. You never know.
“Guys, start over, man. I guess it was a lot easier for me because back in my day, we started over every time we moved from territory to territory. So, you had to learn how to fit in. Well, there’s still a place for you guys in wrestling — it’s just not with WWE. Look around you, you’ll see what I’m talking about. You’ll get it.”
