Former WWE Star Not Returning To Wrestling Following Release From The Company

A few weeks ago a number of former WWE stars who were released in September of 2023 became free agents, and now the wrestling world is waiting to see what they will do next.

Eric Bugenhagen (formerly known as Rick Boogs in WWE) recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet about what life is like following his release, and he claimed that he’s doing better than ever.

“I’m great. Yeah, I’m better than ever right now. I’m at. I mean, where do we want to start? Let’s talk about this. So basically, I started a YouTube channel. It’s like, I’m just gonna lead the interview.”

Fans who are hoping to see Eric Bugenhagen return to professional wrestling following his release from WWE may be disappointed as he indicated that he has no plans to wrestle elsewhere.

“No, it’s not so much that bro listen here. When I first decided I was going to do wrestling pursue it. I have to be all in on something. So like, I was doing strength conditioning stuff, personal training. And I was like, if I’m gonna commit to this other endeavour, I just gotta get [in the zone]. So I just quit my job, I have a wife and a daughter. I just got unemployed for the sake of you know, getting hungry that I really wanted to make it happen. You want to be here, which was my wife was not happy about. She was like why did you have to quit?”

Stay tuned for more updates on Eric Bugenhagen’s status as they become available.
