One of the most interesting parts of the interview was when he spoke about his departure from the WWE and why he chose to leave.
Morrison left WWE in 2011, here is why according to him:
“I wouldn’t say I quit or was released. At the end of 2011, I just didn’t resign. I let my contract run out. They offered me a couple of things. They didn’t offer me what I wanted. I wanted to make a movie and I didn’t want to work 250 days a year”
He would also say that a lack of creative freedom in the company helped him make the decision to leave:
“That’s one of the reasons I left. I was tired of just kind of being on that express train, whatever you want to call it, so to speak. It just sort of shoots forward and you have no creative autonomy, no control over your time, and there’s not much time for side projects or family and friends”
