classiq. Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Former WWE Superstar Adam Rose has been in the news since April for a suspension, arrest and subsequent release … now he’s talking for the first time about all of it with The Sheet. Pro Wrestling Sheet Editor-in-Chief Ryan Satin spoke via e-mail with Adam — now known as Aldo Rose — and the ex-Social Outcast was completely open during their conversation. What prompted his request for a release from WWE: “It was a mutual thing. Honestly, I had just hit too many problems back to back. My mistakes or not, guilty or not? It was starting to look really bad. It was just the best choice for everyone involved and the WWE and I knew that. Adam Rose never quite took off in the WWE! Is it the company’s fault, or my fault? Probably a bit of both. The character Adam Rose that debuted on NXT was not the same character that the WWE Universe got. Honestly, I am happy to leave. It was time. I wanted to be home more. My boys and my wife needed me. My poor wife had been carrying the load the whole time while I was off living my dream. It was not right or fair to her or my boys.” If anyone in WWE ever reached out after he tweeted the doctor’s note: “I never heard one single word from anyone. But I knew what I was doing when I released that doctors note, I knew the the likely outcome and implications and accepted them! I think the Wellness Policy is a great thing and absolutely needed. Just take a look at the mortality rate of pro wrestlers of the past, I totally get it. WWE has done an amazing job of making sure that doesn’t ever happen again. But I think in some cases, my case included, they jumped the gun for whatever reason.” Growing up with ADHD and how using prescribed Adderall changed his life: “I have always had ADHD. That’s why I was a high school drop out. Could never study, read a book or do anything that required any sort of attention span for any period of time. It made life hard. School was impossible and it even affected personal relationships. Back then my mom remembers there only being Ritalin in South Africa and she was scared to put me on it. I wish she had! I may have finished school! To me, Adderall was a life changer and wonder drug. I could finally read a book!!! I did not like certain things about the drug, but it helped me actually slow down and focus. Seeing as though it’s already public knowledge … I think I can safely say yes, WWE knew, and knew for almost a year.” Comments on recent arrest: “As for my arrest, well that was a complete nightmare! It’s all being cleared up now, but the damage to our lives is permanent. My wife was like ‘what the hell is going on’ when it happened. I don’t exactly even know why it happened … even now. I think law enforcement, who I have the utmost respect for, may have acted too quickly. They never knew the full story and made some assumptions that will now scar my family’s history forever. My wife is my world and my rock. I don’t deserve her in anyway. As a man, I am willing to say and admit she is the toughest and strongest person I know. I am proud of her! Proud to be her husband! Proud to have her raise my boys.” Plans for the future: “As of right now, I plan to work as much as I can. I never got a chance coming from South Africa to work the indies, so this is all very exciting for me. I love the fact that I now control Aldo Rose. I can control who he is, what he is and where he goes. Let’s just say this, the PG is finally out of the party! We do it my way now! Adam Rose is dead, the Rosebuds are dead … but what’s next is going to be much better and much, much more … me. It’s gonna be worth the ride!!” Stay tuned for updates. http://www.prowrestlingsheet.com/adam-rose-first-post-wwe-interview/?platform=hootsuite Link to comment
Counting Lights Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Actually very interested in what we get with Rose now on the indy's. Link to comment
GDAWG Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 I was a bit surprised that Cody Rhodes chose Evolve over ROH. I wonder how many dates he's in Evolve for before he eventually ends up in ROH. Link to comment

Bushy. Posted June 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 So crazy how Gargano is a part of WWE and EVOLVE but stuff like this happens. Link to comment
GDAWG Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Come to think of it, how come EC3 and Galloway never went to ROH either? Cody will be gone when his dates finish. He'd be crazy to re-sign and I don't think he will re-sign with Evolve since many of the guys on his bucket list are in ROH. Already salivating Cody against: Adam Cole, Adam Page, Jay Lethal, Mark and Jay Briscoe, Dalton Castle, Matt Sydal (I don't recall them facing each other in WWE), Moose and Roderick Strong, but by the time he gets to ROH, both Moose and Roddy are going to be in NXT. Also, bring back the Rhodes Scholars in ROH. Edited June 11, 2016 by GDAWG Link to comment

Also, bring back the Rhodes Scholars in ROH. Evolve isn't on TV like ROH. I'm pretty sure EC3's TNA contract would prevent him from appearing on any other wrestling TV shows, and even if it didn't, unfortunately TNA and ROH have been enemies for a while now. Then again, Drew Galloway wrestles for ICW regularly and their TV show will air all over the world soon, so who knows? I love ROH but in recent years they've kind of struggled to keep their roster feeling fresh. The NJPW talent exchange has been a godsend. In the early days of ROH, they wanted to get every free agent they could on their cards, but now you don't see nearly enough new wrestlers there. I'd love to see them start signing guys like Rhodes and Sandow, but it would be sort of out of character for them. Rhodes Scholars vs. The Briscoes in a Ladder War sounds awesome. I don't think Cody Rhodes would want to sign a contract with ROH anyway. I'm pretty sure once he scratches everything off on his list, he'll be right back in WWE. Link to comment
Guest Fight Me. Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 ICW got a TV deal? That's awesome if true. Link to comment
Crowley Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 ICW got a TV deal? That's awesome if true. I think it actually already came out, but I haven't seen it yet. It's on Fight Network. Link to comment
TNFNS Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Every wrestling company is getting a deal on Fight Network recently, lol Link to comment
classiq. Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 San Francisco 49er’s wide receiver Torrey Smith got physical with a dude who was all up in his face Friday night … but only to help Damien Sandow and Colt Cabana win a wrestling match. The crowd popped big time when Torrey got involved in the action at MCW in Joppa, MD during a contest pitting The Bruiser, Sandow, Colt and Johnny Crabcakes against The Kings. Watch the video, Smith doesn’t hold back while shoving manager Justin Schiegel to the ground — and he even attempts to lets his young son get a few shots in for good measure. The NFL player followed up by celebrating in the ring afterward and sent the crowd home happy.

Guest Fight Me. Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Another check on the bucket list, Cody is wrestling Pat Buck at his promotion Wrestle Pro in September. It's here in Jersey, so maybe I'll check it out. Link to comment

MikeM Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Why does he have two twitters? I would guess because WWE owns his other one. Link to comment
WH!! Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I think Angelo Dawkins and Sawyer Fulton need to be released... they're barely on NXT anymore and are both receiving the JTG treatment. Link to comment
Monkey D. Jiggy Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Didn't Fultom got a makeover recently? Link to comment
Counting Lights Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Yeah Fulton has been completely repackaged alongside Alexander Wolfe, looks like he might get something going for him. Link to comment
Guest Fight Me. Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Yeah, they got a Mad Max inspired gimmick, I believe. Link to comment

LEGION Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I think Angelo Dawkins and Sawyer Fulton need to be released... they're barely on NXT anymore and are both receiving the JTG treatment.Uhm...no. NXT is alot more than the taped shows. Link to comment
E#37 Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I think Angelo Dawkins and Sawyer Fulton need to be released... they're barely on NXT anymore and are both receiving the JTG treatment. Fulton actually seems to have finally found himself something alongside Alexander Wolfe in a Mad Max inspired tag team. Link to comment
