After his release from WWE, Tony Nese spoke to Wrestling Perspective Podcast about his situation and said releasing him would end up being a huge mistake in the long run. However, Nese said he won't be complaining about what happened to him because it's part of the business he's in:
“It wasn’t a creative thing like, ‘we have nothing for you.’ It was straight up, like, what you hear on the internet, it was budget cuts. The company is obviously trimming some fat and whatever their plan is, unfortunately, business is business and I was on the shit end of that stick. When it comes to 205 Live and being on the show, the writing was on the wall with that, but my relationship with pretty much everyone, and my work ethic, and things people would tell me, that’s where I was kinda blindsided. I think it was business-related. Business is business and I can’t complain. In the long run, it’ll be their mistake.”
