As previously noted, Rick Boogs said he believes that his release from WWE was due to “a backstage political power play” in a video that was published to his YouTube channel. Boogs commented further on the matter while responding to fan comments…

“I can say with 100% certainty, the removal of Vince [McMahon] killed my career.”

“Pretty much everyone in the corporate side of the company agreed [that he could fit any role WWE wanted to put him in] which is why I was always the third party guy doing commercials for old spice, snickers, Mikes hard lemonade,and Toyota…however, one person clearly has some weird grudge against me.”

Boogs also responded to a comment that said his WWE character wasn’t very good…

“Well that’s your opinion, which is all that business was…opinions and politics. A lot of people tell me I was their favorite, mainly their kids favorite, which is the way it should be considering it’s a PG show. Also, aside from my time with Vince, the character wasn’t even given a chance…the audience has zero idea about all the bullshit I’ve had to put up with for the years. I have plenty to say once the times right.”
