The former WWE Superstar Orlando Colon, known as Epico in WWE, recently appeared as special guest on UnSKripted, hosted by Dr. Chris Featherstone and spoke about several topics. During the interview, Epico discussed about his career and also commented on Andrade’s recent WWE release.
The former WWE Tag Team Champion Epico said that he feels happy for Andrade and he deserves better spot, now, he had chance of doing his own thing. He also stated the he met Andrade last month and had conversation about his disappointment with WWE. Here what Epico said:
“I’m happy for him. He’s put in his time there, he’s put in his time outside of WWE, he deserved a better spot and now doing his own thing, nobody can cut his wings off and he can fly high and do what he knows to do best. Right now he’s one of the best in the world, second to none. On top of that he’s one of my good friends. I was just talking to him today, cracking some jokes and just talking about his future and the future looks bright for him.”
“I’ve been talking to him. I saw him in Orlando two weeks ago and he was like “they are not doing anything with me and it’s not a matter of the money but me following my dreams. I hate sitting at catering every week. It’s pretty toxic when you look at it that way. You’ve got the best performers in the world over there. Just look at the locker room.” (H/T: SK Wrestling)
