Aiden English Update (Patreon)

You won't see any sour grapes coming from Aiden English about his WWE release. He seemed very positive about how everything went down. English says that he knows the people who even had to made the calls had rough days in doing so, even though it was a regular part of their job. He was surprised so many people were let go, however.

We joked about the Simon Gotch Buries Enzo Amore clip that everyone on earth has seen on Youtube, and I tried to get him to bury Big Cass so I could also get 1.5 million views. It didn't work as Aiden likes Big Cass, so he buried his cat for waking him up instead.

English wishes that he would have worked to develop more of a professional relationship with Vince McMahon along the way, but that they did get a little time speaking with each other. He confirmed McMahon stays busy, and most of the time you get one opportunity a week to even visually see him, if he's at TV. Aiden says that the guys and girls who are successful usually make the effort to develop that rapport with McMahon, and he wanted to do more of that in retrospect.

English spoke very highly of getting to work directly with Tom Phillips and Michael Cole when he was moved over to commentary, as he didn't often get direct feedback from his bosses in WWE until then. He clarified he wasn't injured and was excited to try something new, and the positive feedback motivated him anymore. His in-ring career is not over by any stretch, and was a little surprised to get the call to do the Worlds Collide show in April 2019.

I asked English about his Vaudevillains run and he admitted that initially he wasn't sure how it was going to work out, but trusted the process and liked how things ended up for the team.
