Daivari Talks About Leaving WWE, Hulk Hogan, More

– Shawn "Khosrow" Daivari recently had an interview on Main Event Radio where he talks about being replaced, leaving WWE, working with Hulk Hogan, and more. You can download the interview at MainEventRadio.com.

Below are the highlights:

Daivari's release from WWE:
"A while ago I was offered a new contract to re-sign with WWE, they were trying to meet me on my demands but we couldn't come to a conclusion on the creative end...it was not something they could for sure promise, so I went separately to creative and both Vince and Stephanie McMahon and asked to get out of my current deal early."

WWE replacing Daivari with the Great Khali's translator:
"I was told by creative that they had separate plans for me and him. I actually don't think there was supposed to be anybody with Khali for awhile. There was one member of the creative team who spoke the same language (out of 7) which is Hindi and once they saw that they just decided to put them together to help with the promos."

Leaving on a guranteed contract with WWE to pursue other options:
"I'm actually out of town right now, my schedule is pretty full with shows coming up every weekend; autograph signings, a lot of conventions and stuff coming up. I've received several offers from different Japan companies about going there. I have a 90-day no compete clause so I haven't officially talked with TNA but I watch their show and I like their product a lot and they're willing to give me an opportunity to do business there I'd be more than happy to go there.

Memorable moments:
"Working with Hogan is a highlight. Working with Hulk Hogan period, working with Hogan during a comeback, and working with Hogan at a Wrestlemania. People beg for one, and we did all three in one night! Obviously working with a whole bunch of guys?Hogan, Michaels, Undertaker, John Cena. Not many people in the world can say they've been in the Piper's Pit and I can say I was able to do that. A lot of the friends I made like Hurricane, Christian, Masters, Carlito?really good friends of mine today until the time I retire. I'm only in my seventh, maybe eighth year wrestling. I plan on having a 25-30 year career. To say I've already had my favourite wrestling moments is a little superstitious because I don't know what the future holds."

Leaving the door open for a future WWE return:
"When I left from John Laurinaitis to Vince McMahon, every one of them said when you're ready to come back we'll be more than ready to have you. Now that I've been there for a few years, at this point in my career I'd like to work as much as possible and stay healthy."
