Last Sunday, Chris and Brando of www.voiceofwrestling.com talked to Ernest "The Cat" Miller in his first interview since being released from WWE.
Here are some of the highlights from the Cat:
- He has gotten back into Karate since departing from WWE.
- He has never come across any other wrestlers who are skilled in Karate.
- He wasn't initially sure how he would be used in WWE.
- Vince McMahon asked him to stop doing Karate moves and cut back on his talking. Miller felt those were the two things he was best at. Instead, McMahon just wanted him to dance.
- Contrary to reports, McMahon wasn't behind him.
- He said his character was over in WCW, so he can't figure out why WWE would want to change it.
- He repeatedly mentioned that Vince Mahon has surrounded himself with ass-kissers who laugh at every one of his jokes.
- He feels that if WWE can get "over" John Cena, they should be able to get "over" anyone.
- Jim Ross probably said two words to him the entire time he worked for WWE. He also mentioned that JR walks around backstage like every day is a bad day. He wishes he would have slapped JR across the face.
- He felt he did everything that was asked of him in WWE, but the writers just couldn't come up with anything for him. He said the writers would be better at writing for gay magazines.
- He mentioned that the WWE (more specifically Johnny Ace) came after him to get him to work for the company. He didn't call up WWE.
- He said he wasn't paid much.
- He feels McMahon is more interested in entertaining himself rather than entertaining the fans.
- He feels Smackdown isn't as good as Raw because it is taped.
- He admitted that he doesn't watch WWE programming now, and didn't when he worked for the company.
- He felt WCW wrestlers aren't given the same opportunities as home-grown talent.
- When asked about NWA/TNA, he said they understand the business more than WWE. He said he has friends in TNA and talks with them often.
