Mason Madden thinks having people wanting to see him is a good problem to have.
The former Retribution member was released by the WWE in 2023, alongside his Maximum Male Model teammate, Mansoor. The pair have since popped up in numerous promotions, including AEW, ROH and Soft Ground Wrestling Uganda.
Mason Madden recently spoke with Kotaku about joining AEW/ROH. The former Mace revealed that the company have been open to their ideas. They have given them a platform to show their work.
They noted that people always want to see more of them, which is a “great problem to have”.
“They’ve been very open to our ideas.” Mason Madden said. “Allowing us to pitch stuff and making our ideas work, which is really cool. It’s very gratifying to see your brainchild show up somewhere, have people be able to see it.” Then have people react well to it, which is a completely foreign concept to us.”
“It’s a great problem to have people want to see you more. Having a platform where we can showcase our art in any capacity that anybody can see anywhere in the world has been a great boon to us because I think people are really starting to be able to see what we can do.”
Mason Madden Was “Doing My Best Tokusatsu Villain” In WWE
Mason Madden continued, noting that he wanted to make wrestling more like anime in WWE. He did that in his role as Mace in Retribution. The former WWE star claimed he was doing “my best tokusatsu villain”, which fans found cool.
“In WWE, there’s a handful of people that get to be cool and get to win. That was never my job in WWE. I was usually given something, and then I had to find my truth and what resonated with me in that character,” Williams said. ‘Retribution wasn’t cool, but one thing I often got was, ‘Hey, you were cool in Retribution,’ and that’s because I was doing my best tokusatsu villain.”
