@@6AlphaMikeCharlie9 How can one be expected to improve if their past is constantly mentioned? Is it your belief that people cannot change? It seems you might be clinging to the same mindset you had in childhood. Consider the numerous former addicts who have completely turned their lives around. Strive to be better. Neither of us knows this individual personally, yet you seem to assume superiority because you've never lied. Remember, to err is human. Instead of casting stones, aim to be a better person.

@wondahquinn6825 Месяц назад

Great to hear from Riddle. I miss his character from WWE but watching this I see the why of it all and hopefully someday he could return to TV. At the time of his WWE release I could see him plateau. There’s almost a formula for WWE release besides doing something offensive - it’s being someone who stays low on the card who can’t be worked into interesting stories. Other guys who were fired at the same time shouldn’t come back (Dolph Ziggler, Ali) because I imagine them just failing just as hard. If Riddle returned they’d have to have an amazing idea for a story but he could pull it off for sure.

He’s very well spoken and smart, business-wise. Yes, he was irresponsible, but he was going through a rough divorce, false allegations (likely). He deserves more sympathy from fans imo, especially since he took accountability and it really isn’t any of our business. I’m glad it seems like he’s doing better and hopefully an interview like this helps others.

I met Matt a few times prior to his WWE run, at indies in Bristol and Cardiff UK. He was always a really nice guy. So much passion. Reminded me a lot of Chris Hero - but stoned obviously. Sounds like a part-time WWE contract might make sense for him, a few years down the line. Until then, Matt is absolutely doing the right stuff to propel himself back into a wanted commodity - as he has done so before.
