The wrestling world was shocked to find out that after nearly 20-years in the WWE, Arn Anderson was released from the company.
According to various sources, the WWE Hall of famer's release was due to him allowing Alicia Foxx – who was reportedly intoxicated – to wrestle at a house show. Since word came out that Anderson was no longer working with the company anymore, The Four Horsemen member has remained silent over the situation, until now.
Anderson spoke with Justin Barrasso of
Sports Illustrated about being let go from the WWE last month:
"I was fortunate enough to work with WWE for 18 years," Anderson said.
"Certainly that provided my family and myself with a nice living, and I have no regrets. A lot of my best friends still work there. Everything has a shelf life, and I guess mine ran out."
Anderson never confirmed or denied the reasoning behind his release. The Hall of famer will make his first post-WWE appearance at Starrcast II in Las Vegas during the weekend of May 23-26.
"It used to be a dangerous setting when they handed me a live mic," Anderson said of the Starrcast appearance.
"So we'll see if it will be again."
