Eric Young Shoots HARD On WWE's "Broken System"
"It's a disaster in how it's organised. It's hard to love wrestling in that kind of environment."
Former WWE Superstar Eric Young has spoken out on the company's creative process and alleged backstage politics during an appearance on SiriusXM's Busted Open Radio, calling the promotion "a disaster how in how it's organised," claiming that "it's hard to love wrestling in that kind of environment."
A lengthy segment began with Eric stating that WWE was the place he had wanted to work his whole career. He was nothing but complimentary about his time in NXT, saying that things didn't start to go wrong until his Sanity group hit the main roster. "The system is broken," he said. "It's hard to get a word in. Even when you're doing nothing it feels like you're fixing people's mistakes all day."
On WWE's infamous micromanagement:-
"There was no creativity, they want everyone to do things the same, and be the same, and bump the same, and sell the same. And there is millions of rules... those change daily. It's really hard to understand what's going on and why it's going on. The system is flawed and I would say that to anyone there, I would say it to Vince himself."
He added that while McMahon was always respectful to him, he felt like he was being treated like a child for having to wait hours and hours just to speak to the WWE Chairman.
Young also claimed that the main roster experience killed his lifelong love for wrestling:-
"It's hard when something like that is crushed. It is a place that everything amazing should be happening every second of every day and it's not. It's a disaster in how it's organized. It's hard to love wrestling in that kind of environment."
Young was one of the dozens of WWE wrestlers released on 15 April this year. He returned to his old home, Impact Wrestling, at last week's Slammiversary pay-per-view, competing in the night's main event.
