There have been a number of big WWE departures throughout the year including names who had been appearing on screen, and other names who had been working behind the scenes. Back in March it was revealed that Road Dogg had decided to part ways with WWE and leave behind his role on the creative team.
During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Road Dogg explained that he wasn’t having fun with the job anymore, and he ended up staying with WWE for longer than he wanted to.
“I wasn’t having any fun. It got to be so much work, that it stopped being fun. I actually stayed longer than I wanted to just out of fear of unemployment. I didn’t do well with my money. I’m a drug addict and recovering alcoholic. I didn’t manage my money well. That fear of the unknown kept me for a long time. I was about to go into a meeting, and my wife told me on the phone, “I lived with you in a tent.’ I said, ‘I’m coming home right now.’ If you lived with me in a tent, I don’t need to pay the mortgage.”
