For those who don’t know, former WWE Superstar Matt Cardona became one of the most popular stars after creating a show on YouTube.
Recently on the Swerve City podcast, the Ultimate Broski shared the real reason for him to start a YouTube show.
“The moral of this YouTube show was… I didn’t want to have a YouTube show. It wasn’t like, ‘I want to have a YouTube show.’ It was, ‘I want to get f***ing noticed’. When I first started the show, I knew there’s a good chance I can get fired. And my goal was to get noticed or get fired. I didn’t want to get fired. But I knew I wanted to create so much buzz that one or the other would happen. And I knew at the time, ‘All right. Well, if I get fired for this, I’ll just go to TNA or something like that.’ I knew had a buzz somewhere. So that was the goal, was to get noticed or get fired.
“I got noticed. Won the U.S Title like I said, and then like I wanted to end it. I thought that was a perfect ending to a whole year. Starting from the bottom, now I’m at the top, let’s end the show. WWE had a different idea like, ‘Well this is successful, we’re gonna start our own YouTube channel, and your show’s going to be on it. And it wasn’t like, ‘You want your show on it?’ no, ‘Your show’s gonna be on it.’ So it went from something that I was doing, it was a passion project and it was fun to now it became a job,” Matt Cardona said.
In the interview, Matt Cardona also took ownership of getting fired from WWE.
