During his interview with Busted Open Radio, Matt Cardona opened up about his career and some of the tough times he's had. Cardona reiterated how much he loved professional wrestling and how it helped him push through the tough times. Cardona also stressed that he wasn't bitter about how his time in WWE ended:
There are times when it has sucked and there was no light at the end of the tunnel. That’s when you really have to love it. It is so easy to love it when you are on TV every week and in a great spot. Who wouldn’t love that. You have to love it when you are sitting in catering. You have to love it when you are not booked. You have to love it when things aren’t going your way. Then, when you get nights like last week, everything is so much better and sweeter that way. Maybe that’s just my delusional way of thinking about it. For me, that’s how I live my life. I don’t want to live in bitterness. What’s the point? Why complain online? You’re not going to be happier, I’ll tell you that. H/T: WrestlingNewsCo
