Everyone who leaves WWE says they were miserable, that's really not a coincidence at this point.

Bad Cow needs to be the opposite of Good Shit.
Also Rowan sounds like a really awesome guy.

”At one point in time Harper & Rowan got new gear, and Vince wanted to see what they looked like wearing it. They put it on and knocked on Vince's door, he yelled "Come in", they opened the door and he was getting his calves massaged by a WWE trainer. He looked up, saw them, said "Love it" and then put his head back down and kept getting the massage.”

Wow,the fact that the Bray-Orton History has no intentions of getting Luke Harper over nor did they expect it would lead to ,is crazy.
WWE just accidentally gets people over and then buries then over and over.

He also talks about going public to cause pressure from the public and to not allow WWE control the narrative after they blew him off.

Let's keep a counter for how many ex-WWE folk use the term reinvigorated and its synonyms.

WWE just accidentally gets people over and then buries then over and over. Can you imagine if Vince McMahon's mindset today was present in past WWE? Instead of going with Batista at WrestleMania 21, he would be standing in HHH's corner as he defended the title against Randy Orton. Hell, forget the rise of Stone Cold Steve Austin. WrestleMania 14 would be main evented with Marc Mero vs. Mark Henry while Austin loses in the free-for-all.

Man I have a coworker that looks so much like Brodie and listening to this they sound alike too lol.
Also Triple H sounds like kind of a crappy head of talent relations...it's interesting that Brodie talked to HHH about working NJPW and HHH said he was going to make it happen, wasn't there a rumor last year WWE might buy a huge stake in NJPW or something? Also interesting the amount of times Brodie talked to HHH and said he was going to take care of something then never followed up, or saying talent relations/contract stuff wasn't his field when it totally is.

If Vince didn't throw caution to the wind, WCW would have won the Monday Night Wars, then proceed to go bankrupt within a few years time, effectively killing both companies by 2002.

It's interesting how the common theme among everybody that left is they just wanted to do something. Not even a push they just wanted to do something.

The wrestling landscape would have felt totally different back then. TNA and ROH as the top two, or would the industry have had a sharp decline in the U.S.? Back to Brodie: So glad he's out of WWE now, and leading a major heel stable in AEW is a good deal for him.

Both Matt and Lee just wanted to be used in some way. The whole every idea being ignored is just crazy because it makes me think of all the times we hear creative have nothing for them stories when someone is released. It makes you wonder just how many times where ideas like these two both had where ignored. When really there way ideas and something for them. Neither one where like I wanted to be World champion. They where just I want something and chance to get something over. This is why I love AEW because they are more open to allow ideas to be used.

Read a recap of the interview (which I plan on listening to eventually) on another site. The part where Vince told him, "That's a question for somebody else" when Brodie asked about getting his release is f***ing absurd. He's the boss of the whole company!

It’s why for all the jokes you could make about him, I absolutely understand Mike Bennett’s mindset at the time of asking for his release. Was he going to be a megastar? Absolutely not but all the dude wanted was to make money for him and his kids. Nobody signs for the WWE just because it’s the pinnacle but because that pinnacle allows you to support your family very few avenues would for a wrestler so if you’re not working...why are you there? I used to work at Thorpe Park on a zero hour contract and sometimes I’d travel on several trains and a bus to get there only to be told to go home. Unlike them, I wasn’t guaranteed money for not working but the idea of it is the same; if you went through that whole process to hire me to then not have me work...why am I here? Just let me go and work somewhere else.

Yeah, Matt even said in his Jericho podcast that he came up with ideas over and over and over and over and they always fell on deaf ears. But we know the song and dance on this one. I honestly wonder what it will take at this point since Vince seems dead set on being the "lethal dose of poison" in WWE.

Honestly and sadly what will it take is Vince passing away. It doesn't seem he will give it up any other way or ever realize the issues. If anything he only gotten worst and worst over the years.

Just let me go and work somewhere else. I think the big difference too is that guys like Brodie and Mox (and Cody if you think about it) are guys who looked at it and said that the money being offered was great, but to them it just wasn't worth being miserable with what they were doing (or with Brodie lack of what they were doing) and on a similar note kudos to all three having very supporting women in their lives that encouraged them to bet on themselves. BUt Brody (and probably the Revival) also seem to be like Mox where they realized they were leaving no matter what. It takes a lot of confidence to do that. Others who have had similar issues of unhappiness just bought into what WWE was selling and nothing changed but they got a huge pay raise. And listening to Brodie he even said had AEW not been an option he was excited for other opportunities. I don't think enough people have that mindset. Of course I also found it interesting when he was shocked that he was told to say whatever he wanted since it was his segment.

Man, this dude has an axe to grind. The amount of bleeped swears compared to his previous appearance is staggering. That company, and Vince specifically, really pissed this dude off and I don't blame him one bit.
