Gangrel Clears Up Rumor Of Why He Was Fired From WWE

Gangrel has been fired from WWE before, multiple times… one of which was rumored to be for a very unusual reason.

Former WWE Superstar Gangrel was recently a guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, and was asked about a rumor regarding his WWE firing – that he was fired because he did not tuck in his shirt. Gangrel quickly debunked that rumor by stating that he never tucked his shirt in, before going into more detail and clearing things up.

CVV: “There’s a rumor you got fired from WWE because you didn’t tuck your shirt in.”

Gangrel: “I never tucked my shirt in.”

CVV: “Would you like to clear this up?”

Gangrel: “I don’t know if that was the rumor. I think the rumor was they said Vince saw my stomach and said, ‘Ah, he’s got to go.’ I think that was the rumor. No, I don’t know. They hired me back, I got burnt. I sat home all that time, and then they let me go. Then they hired me back, told me I was going to be on the Syfy Channel. They said, ‘You’re going to be a big star on ECW. You’re going to come in, you’re going to have a group, Kevin Thorn, Shelly Martinez.’ I said, great. I went home, never heard from them. I was signed back, never heard from him, never did an appearance on TV or anything. So, there’s no shirts, or there’s no nothing. Then I see Kevin Thorn comes on, and then Shelley comes on with him, and I got let go. Then I get a call from Johnny Ace, going, ‘It never really took off, it didn’t work out.’ I said save it, I’m gonna go back to England next week. So it was nothing. They brought me back for SyFy, I never did any TVs, I never did anything.”
