Veteran manager Dutch Mantell bashed a WWE Superstar for lack of talent following his recent comments on why he was released from the company. The star in question is Rick Boogs.
Boogs joined the Stamford-based promotion in 2017 and started his career on the developmental brand, where his most notable match came against Finn Balor on the February 22, 2020, episode of NXT Live. On May 21, 2021, he made his SmackDown debut. He also teamed up with Shinsuke Nakamura for a match against The Usos with the SmackDown Tag Team titles on the line at WrestleMania 38.
The star won the WWE 24/7 Championship twice during his time in the company. However, he was recently released by World Wrestling Entertainment, following which he claimed that the reason for his release was "backstage political powerplay."
