Erick Rowan has been released by WWE before, and shares advice to those who have recently suffered that same fate.
WWE Superstar Erick Rowan recently spoke with Card Player. When asked to provide one piece of advice to someone who has been released from a company, Rowan gave some sage advice that everyone should be able to relate to.
“It always sucks to get let go from any job, right? It’s just a shock,” Erick Rowan said. “You have this comfortability, no matter what it is. Even if you’re on your toes and you’re always trying to do your best. Sometimes that doesn’t matter. Your best doesn’t matter.
“The bottom line is, it is what it is. So you have to go out and you have to prove that you want this to yourself and not to anybody else, but you have to prove why you love this. And if it can take you to places and people can watch you wrestle, that would never be able to watch you wrestle live before.
Prove why you love what you do…
“That’s a win for me that people are watching you for the first time in a setting that is more reminiscent of a good old house show, fan participation. That’s the roots of wrestling, right? Fan participation. And those shows were so much fun to do, and I don’t know why you wouldn’t just take advantage of that.
“It gave me a chance to meet people from all over the world that I maybe would’ve never met and to share with them that night, my love of professional wrestling. So I just want people to look at those things as positive, if they want to continue it, there’s still a life to continue it. It’s not all one thing or the other. There’s so much gray between.”
