A former WWE Superstar thanks the promotion’s rehab program for saving his life.
Speaking on WrestlingNews.Co‘s Velvet Ropes podcast, Kevin Fertig, known as Kevin Thorn and Mordecai, noted that he spent nearly 15 years harboring resentment towards WWE. However, he expressed gratitude for the promotion for putting him in their rehab program in May, saying they saved his life after he reached out for help.
“I spent probably 15 years pissed off, hated WWE, depressed and all this stuff, Fertig said, choking up during the interview. “I made a phone call to them, and I went in the rehab program, and they saved my life.”
“Everything with that is, as much as I hate them, as much resentment as I had for them, they saved my life, and I wouldn’t be here today. You have all this resentment, and all these would have, should have, could haves, and at the end of the day, a lot of it was me. And I’ve come to figure that out, and I’m a lot better off from that,” the former WWE star said.
Kevin Fertig says he didn’t deserve WWE’s help
Speaking further, Kevin Fertig noted that he didn’t deserve WWE’s help, given his attitude and resentment towards the company for the past 15 years. However, he states he no longer holds any bitterness towards wrestling and credits his overall journey in the industry for where he is today.
“They gave me the tools graciously, because I didn’t deserve them. Because as big of a d*ck as I was for the last 15 years of resenting them, I didn’t deserve it. And they sent me, got me cleaned up and got me back better than I ever have been.”
“It’s having no resentment towards wrestling and only love. So it’s pretty cool now. It’s the blessings. It’s filling up three passports that a kid from Memphis, Tennessee never thought that he’d ever do. It is all because of the journey of wrestling and being a part of the coolest sport on Earth,” the former WWE star said.
