He signed on for how many years?
And how many years of that did he work?
I mean, you're applying internet logic to defend him too, how exactly does that work? Your argument has every chance of being as full of shit as theirs do.
I'd like to know how many of us have ever left contract work like this before. I somehow doubt it's anywhere REMOTELY close to 3/4s.
Do you honestly think that 3/4 of the people here have signed a contract for a decade to do something they dislike, worked a couple years, and then wanted out for doing exactly what they signed up to do? Yeah, he might not like the way his boss is doing things, but he signed a contract with the guy, and didn't seem bothered then. Didn't mind leaving his character up to creative control then.
Maybe he thought he'd be a champion the entire duration of his contract. That would have been a realistic expectation.
The WWE let him out, which is lucky for him.
Normally, you don't sign a contract to do work that requires things you don't like to do, or at least ones so horribly objectable.
BRB, gonna go contract myself as a surgeon then quit because I can't stand the sight of blood.
