On the latest edition of his “Something to Wrestle” podcast, Bruce Prichard reflected on the WWE release of Trevor Murdoch in 2008, noting that he’s always hated telling Murdoch “creative has nothing for you.” He said,
“I don’t know. I really don’t know. Whether something happened that just was kept from everybody, or who the hell ever really knows sometimes? Sometimes it’s budget reasons where you look at it and go, ‘Hey, we’re over so much, and here’s that number,’ and you find it that way. But I’ve always hated, from day one, always hated ‘creative has nothing for you.’ That was, in my opinion, a cheap way to have to let someone go. Sometimes, you just have to say, ‘Look, man. We’re making cuts, and unfortunately, we gotta cut you at this time. The door’s never shut, door’s always open. Things can happen.’ But I have no idea what the reason was for Trevor to be cut. No idea at all.”
