It appears that we’ll never hear Arn Anderson’s side of the story when it comes to his last days with the WWE that resulted in his departure. To the shock of many, the WWE Hall of Famer was released from the company back in February. It was heavily speculated that Anderson was fired for allowing Alicia Fox to wrestle at a live event while intoxicated.
The former WWE road agent has remained silent since his exit from the company, but many thought that the WWE Hall of Famer would reveal all during the Starcast II convention; however, the wrestling legend stated that he signed a non-disclosure agreement that forces him to remain tight-lipped over the situation (transcript courtesy of
Fightful.com):
“I wish I could talk about it but the fact is, I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement when I left. You’re going to hear a lot of stuff online but don’t believe everything you hear. The people that know me, know the situation. I’m not [upset about leaving].”
Anderson makes it clear that there was some built up frustration being in the company and after working in the wrestling business for 37 years, he feels that he deserves better:
“It was a great, stable environment for my family and myself but it’s a difficult place to work. The pressure is unbelievable. The hours are unbelievable. The travel is something. I don’t want to be anywhere where I’m not wanted. After 37 years, I think I deserve more than that.”
There’s no telling on where Anderson will go from here. While many point to All Elite Wrestling, the WWE Hall of Famer hasn’t given any hints about signing with the new promotion, though it’s possible that he could show up to Double or Nothing as one of the surprises.
