“There was one promo in particular. Recently, I actually just saw Shelton Benjamin tweet that if he could take back one thing in his career, it was a promo with Yoshi Tatsu. Same thing, kind of like a racial promo.
“So that day, I had the promo, I got the script from the writer, ‘This is from Vince, he wants you to say this.’ I was like, ‘Oh man, I don’t want to say [this], is there anything else we can do?’ He said, ‘No, it’s come from Vince.’ So I even asked Vince, like, ‘This is gonna get negative backlash. He said, ‘No, no, no, no, don’t worry. Who cares? It’s not you. It’s a character, it’s just entertainment.
“Did the promo, was not happy with it, not proud of myself for doing it. Really wish that I could take that moment back, but — unfortunately — I can’t. And right when we came back, it got a lot of negative backlash. Like, I remember coming back from Gorilla [position] — I was still hanging out by Gorilla and one of the social media managers came up to me and said, ‘Hey, this is getting a lot of bad PR and Vince wants you for you to tweet something, like a statement.’ I said, ‘Ok, cool.’ He came up with something, maybe the PR team wrote it, someone — he came up with a statement. And as we were about to tweet it, he said, ‘Actually, Vince changed his mind, he said no.“
“It was just one of those things where — it is what it is, not proud of doing it. But on the plus side, I don’t think something like that, a promo like that, will ever happen again in WWE. Things changed, the regime changed, everything is much, much different now. That was a different era, different time. Under Vince, his style was different. And sometimes he was stuck in his ways.“
