Eric Bugenhagen, known as Rick Boogs, was one of the many WWE stars who was released over the past few days.

Boogs has now commented on his release, stating his belief that it came as a result of a “backstage political power play”.
On his YouTube channel, which is just Eric Bugenhagen, he posted a new gym tour video, but opened with the following comments:
“All right fellas, we’re back and let me tell you, it’s been an interesting time in my life, with my job in WWE being terminated due to a backstage political power play, at least that’s my opinion of it, but now’s not the time to talk about that. I will get into detail about that when the time is right…”

After doing a gym tour and showing his workouts, he then closed the video by saying:
“As I mentioned earlier about my job, again, it’s not the time, but when I do and can speak freely, it’s gonna be freakin’ juicy fellas. I’m talking about all the nitty-gritty details, you know what I’m talking about?”
