"Not a nice man" - Former WWE Superstar blasts John Laurinaitis

Rory McAllister did not enjoy interacting with John Laurinaitis during his time in WWE.

McAllister performed on the main roster as one-half of The Highlanders between July 2006 and August 2008. During that time, Laurinaitis frequently communicated with superstars in his role as WWE’s Head of Talent Relations.

Speaking on “Jofo in the Ring,” the former WWE star claimed Laurinaitis only looked out for himself.

“Johnny is ultimately a very self-serving guy,” McAllister said. “A lot of people are [self-serving] in the business. He just became very self-serving. He’s the kinda one who will talk s**t behind your back and babyface you. Take it away from the business side, just not a nice man. Not the kind of guy you’d let look after your kids.” [0:55-1:20]

Laurinaitis is currently on a leave of absence from WWE following allegations of misconduct. According to a recent “Fightful Select” report, sources believe that the long-time executive is likely “done” in the company.
