Ridge Holland (real name Luke Menzies) is telling the world exactly how things went downand its brutal. After suffering a serious injury during a match in TNA, he says WWE called him just days later and told him they werent renewing his contract.
In a new YouTube video, Ridge broke down what led to the end of his WWE run. The story starts with a high pointsome solid indie matches and then landing a shot in TNA, where everything seemed to be going right.
But that high didnt last long. The very next day, disaster struck during a match against Santara when a move with Moose went wrong.
The injury was serious enough to require surgery, and Ridge was sidelined with his mom flying in to help take care of the family.
And then came the phone call that changed everything.
Fans online were quick to speculate about his financial situation, but Ridge had a blunt response for all the armchair accountants.
To make things worse, Ridge is now staring down another major health issuepossibly needing spinal fusion surgery.
From getting hurt while working on WWEs behalf in another promotion to getting dropped while still recovering, Ridge Hollands story is the kind of real-life wrestling fallout few ever talk about out loud. Hes not looking for sympathybut hes definitely setting the record straight.
Whats your take on Ridge Hollands situation? Should WWE have kept him under contract while he healed, or is this just how the business works now? Let us know what you think in the comments.
