Tyler Breeze isn't content to "bitch and complain" on social media about his WWE release.

The former Breezango member told the 'Straight Shooting' podcast that he despairs when he sees so many ex-peers doing exactly that; to Breeze, it's frustrating that countless released WWE stars don't realise that pro wrestling is a "rollercoaster".

Instead of wondering what might've been, the one-time NXT Tag-Team Champ explained that "none of us deserve anything and we’re very lucky to be part of it - we’re lucky to get an opportunity". He then went on to say that it's important to "nail that opportunity so you might get more".

That'll ruffle some feathers for sure.

The pod had asked Breeze what frustrated him most about WWE life. Interviewers were probably expecting him to give a stock answer about sitting in catering (or something similar), but Tyler said it was the "weird culture" created by bitter ex-stars that got to him more than anything.

Breeze suggested that those who don't like the fact they "signed a piece of paper for a certain amount of money to sit on the bench and get used if [they] get used" quit and find something else. Ooft!
