Former WWE star Nic Nemeth aka Dolph Ziggler says he pitched leaving the company

During an interview with Denise Salcedo, Former WWE star Nic Nemeth aka Dolph Ziggler talked about how he pitched leaving the company…

“It would be different if I was hobbling around or if I didn’t get reactions or wasn’t good at my job. I would be happy to take a backseat and help people out. But I’m sitting around six days a week, not working, basically in the prime of my career. So let’s get going. And so I said, ‘How about this? How about I leave for six months? How about I leave for a year?’ How about I get the hell out of here?’ But even a couple of years ago, when they said yes, the next Sunday, I’d get a phone call saying, ‘Hey, we need you.’ It’s great.”

“…Finally I wrote a really, really, really heartfelt, really long, mostly positive but some negative, six-page email to everybody in charge. Vince [McMahon] was the only one to write me back and he said, ‘Wow, I can’t believe this. Let’s talk.'” (quotes courtesy of F4WOnline.com)
