I just needed a little break. I needed some time away to rethink, to be with my family, to remind myself of why I wanted to be a sports entertainer in the first place and be in the WWE in the first place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rush was also asked if he&#8217;s surprised that he&#8217;s still with WWE. &#8220;Man, I feel like I&#8217;ve asked myself this question a lot like, I&#8217;m not gonna lie to you, man,&#8221; started Rush. &#8220;There were some times and some points where I thought that this was the end. And more than one occasion. More than twice, three times, four times. There were a bunch of times where I thought like, wow, this is it, and a bunch of times where I thought like, you know, where do I go from here?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is all I wanted to do since I was five years old. I wanted to be in the WWE, specifically. I wanted to be a part of the WWE. I wanted to have a long career. I wanted to be a Hall of Famer. Am I surprised that I&#8217;m still in the WWE? I wouldn&#8217;t necessarily say surprised. I don&#8217;t know if surprise is the word that I would go for. I&#8217;m just grateful for the opportunity to still be here. I&#8217;m not going to say that I&#8217;m surprised that they still kept me here or anything like that because I feel like that would be a very arrogant thing to say. The one thing I am is grateful.

Rush went into more detail about his struggles, whether he was happy with his Raw run, and working with the top cruiserweights in NXT and on 205 Live. It&#8217;s a good and highly recommended read.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-4196517247\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":44223,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,4],"tags":[1281,633,37,128,101,1409,370],"class_list":["post-69330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interview_highlights","category-wwe_news","tag-205-live","tag-lio-rush","tag-nxt","tag-pro-wrestling","tag-wwe","tag-wwe-205-live","tag-wwe-raw"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
