– Low Ki, the former Kaval, recently spoke to Slam Wrestling about his WWE departure and more. Below are some highlights:
Leaving WWE:
“I asked for my release, both WWE and myself agreed that it would be best if we didn’t continue doing business together at this current time. They had no path for me or any plans in the near future so instead of wasting my time and my body for them, I decided it was time to move on.”
Politics in WWE:
“WWE is a very big political game, and I already knew what the environment entailed, if you play that political game you stand a much better chance of succeeding in a particular role or position. I’m not a politician; I don’t see the need in playing these games especially when the business is suffering.”
WWE pushing certain talents:
“People have to be very careful when they refer to the company not doing much with a certain talent. There is only one man who makes decisions, he says yes or no and that needs to be made clear. I’m not going to even mention his name but the company has their own view on who is going to be a star or not.
If you don’t fill in that particular prototype or that idea then you are going to have a more challenging time in regards to a push or trying to excel. I feel this was the case with me; they have always been more about bigger guys. The company could have been behind me a lot more. They also could be behind a lot of guys more.”
Michelle McCool & Layla mentoring him on NXT:
“A lot of people took exception to it, I guess ,because how over the top their personalities are, but I didn’t think anything of it. Again I saw it as a challenge, how I was going to adapt to this situation, how I was going to make the best of it.
I got along great with those two women. The biggest effect they had on me was relaxing me, up until that point I had been more of a fighter, more sports orientated less entertainment based,” he said. “I think that because their personalities were so over the top it actually relaxed me and they had me laughing a whole bunch, during the entire time we worked together.”
