Prichard has never been big on the phrase. 

The subject of Bruce Prichard’s newest Something to Wrestle podcast was WWE Great American Bash 2008. Trevor Murdoch was released from the company that year and his release was discussed by Prichard. 

He stated that he has no idea why Murdoch was let go and went on to add that he’s always hated when talents are told, ‘Creative has nothing for you’ as a reason to release them. He feels that it should be an honest conversation about the company simply making cuts and said individual is a part of those cuts. 

I don’t know (why Trevor Murdoch was released from WWE). I really don’t know. So whether something happened that just was kept from everybody or who the hell ever really knows sometimes. Sometimes it’s budget reasons where you look at ‘em and go, ‘Well, we’re over so much and here’s that number’ and you find it that way. But, I’ve always hated from day one, always hated the ‘creative has nothing for you.’ That was, in my opinion, a cheap way to have to let someone go. Sometimes you just have to say, ‘Look man, We’re making cuts and unfortunately, we’re gonna have to cut you at this time. Door’s never shut, door’s always open. Things can happen’ but I have no idea what the reason was for Trevor to be cut. No idea at all.

While mentioning Trevor Murdoch, he revealed that he was interviewed for a future Dark Side of the Ring episode about Harley Race. To read more, click here.
