Brian Myers on working as a backstage producer for WWE

Former WWE Superstar Brian Myers has discussed how an injury during his WWE career led him to become a WWE producer and forming a relationship with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.

During an interview on Sitting Ringside with Dave Penzer, the former Curt Hawkins detailed the circumstances that led to his trial run as WWE Producer:

“Vince saw my name on the injury report, and he'd like me to be a producer while I'm out and learn that side of the business. That's not really an opportunity that you can say no to. So I went, “okay…” and I wound up working more hurt than I would have as an active talent, I went to every single TV, Raw, Smackdown, pay-per-views, in a suit, the whole nine, all the production meetings. But what that did was really finally like I was able to establish a relationship with Vince and [gain] a big thing that I think a lot of the boys don't have. I was very comfortable speaking to him, you know?” (h/t Fightful)

Well, @VinceMcMahon I’m sorry, I love you.*superkick@IMPACTWRESTLING Let’s.Go. pic.twitter.com/jPLybEVCtG
