Chris Masters Discusses A Possible WWE Return, OVW, & More

Chris “Masters” Mordetzky spoke with NewsHub for a new interview. Check out the highlights:

On training under Rip Rogers: “Basically when I went to OVW, we started training under Rip Rogers and he was just so old school but in a good way. He just created a great foundation which you could build off of which made it perfect when Lance Storm came around and Rip was let go for whatever reasons and Lance came in and took the foundation that Rip had laid out and he really modernized what we needed to do in this day and age of professional wrestling. It’s not going to be an hour Broadway obviously for the most part. It’s usually more just about time. There were a few Broadway matches done in OVW and they weren’t the greatest matches they really aren’t talking or anything they are just going out there and that’s an accomplishment even if its plausible or decent you can’t ask everyone to go out there and be Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart but it’s just good to have it in your back pocket and say that you’ve done it.”

On the difference between The Adonis and The Masterpiece: “I don’t know how much a difference there is in character but I’ll say this about myself that I’ve been doing this close to a decade and I’m much more well-rounded, much more mature performer, my in-ring work is the best it’s ever been. Basically, I’ve reached my peak I believe within the last few years in terms of in ring ability and what I can do and understanding what can do and you’ll see me essentially The Adonis formerly Chris Masters but you are going to see basically 2015 version of me which is definitely among one of the top workers in the world.”

On his second run with WWE “From 2011 on I made it my goal whether push or no push whatever it was. I was on Superstars and I was given a lot of time then and my goal was just to prove the neigh sayers wrong and be a good in-ring worker and not just a body. To try and give WWE basically make them use me. If they weren’t going to use me, I was going to make them use me. I was going out there every night and used it as fuel. I’m going to be that damn good. I worked my a** off and everything started coming together, I really started getting it and anybody that’s seen my work from 2011 pretty much on will tell you and vouch for that fact. Even CM Punk said in the promo where he was quote unquote shooting, that I’m not the same guy that most people remember at least not from back in my earlier run, now I can go and I can go with anybody it doesn’t matter who it is.”

On if he’ll ever go back to WWE: “It goes back to one of my motto’s in wrestling or sports entertainment whatever you want to call it but never say never. I mean if you’re asking me do I think those opportunities could be available? Considering the context of me being 32 and the experience I have? Then, yeah definitely. I’ve heard a lot of talk from guys about the 30 year old rule in WWE but as far as I’m concerned that is somebody that is not making a smart investment always, there are some exceptions to this rule obviously, like Batista and whatnot but it’s not honestly a smart investment to start training somebody at 30 years old because chances are it takes guys at the very least a year or two to not be ready for TV, let alone 5 years over there to just be something and be half a**ed prepared. I think wrestling wise I have every opportunity available to me in front of me if I want it but now I’m looking at what’s in front of me and I’m not looking at the past with any negativity. My stay with WWE was nothing but positive. I accomplished a persona over there and I worked off and on there for 10 years. Right now though, I’ve got to focus my attention on where I’m at now and we’ve got this new, young, up and coming promotion that Jarrett’s really putting his backing behind and doing everything he can to pump and I think wrestling fans out there want an alternative at least the real hardcore fans.”
