Its been a while since Peter Rosenberg has been on WWE TV. Speaking on his “Cheap Heat” radio program recently, Rosenberg divulged he had been dealing with some personal issues over the past year, leading to him no longer traveling with the company.
However, once he returned ready to work WrestleMania 35, they didn’t have a place for him (H/T Pro Wrestling Sheet for the quotes):
When I came back to WWE and I was ready to work WrestleMania, those who make the decisions on those things — Michael Cole — were no longer interested in using me for that.
So WrestleMania came to New York City where I’ve been promoting it for four/five months prior, even when I was no longer traveling, and they said, ‘We don’t have a place for you on WrestleMania.’ They couldn’t even squeeze me on that fakakta Watch Along show that has eighty people talking at the same time. Still didn’t have room for me there. Didn’t put me anywhere. Ok.
Because of this, Rosenberg says he’s done working pre-shows but is open to working on the WWE Network again sometime down the line:
As much as it sounds like I’m even mad at Cole, not even mad at Cole. Cole and I were never super tight. He’s got the way he sees things. If I don’t fit into that, I don’t care. There’s a lot of things that I don’t … as you can hear, I think the Watch Along show is literally the worst … an embarrassment to the Network.
That’s not a veiled shot at Pat McAfee. I don’t think anyone can do that show and make it good. You can’t have ten people talking at the same time. It’s not good.
Rosenberg ended by saying he no longer has to play nice when reviewing the current WWE product, and from now on, the gloves are off. Listen to his comments here:
