Brian Cage talks about WWE's opinion of him
Longtime fans of Cage are aware that he once had a brief stint with WWE back in the day.
He signed a developmental contract with the promotion in 2008. He was released from the deal a year later. Here's what Cage told Chris Van Vliet about his release:
"They did reach out to me and they were going to put me on Tough Enough, the first one they brought Stone Cold back for, and then they took me off the list... I remember they wanted me to be part of NXT season 3, before it became all girls, and then they changed their minds on that. It went back and forth, and then finally I got a message saying 'oh, never mind. We're no longer interested.' I was like 'what do you mean? What happened?' And they're like 'oh, you're average at best and we're no longer interested.'" [H/T Wrestling Inc]
