One time I came up to sit in my chair for SmackDown, and Vince wasn’t there at the time. And sitting in the chair that I would sit in, that is Vince’s, is Lio Rush. It turns out some guys ribbed him and told him to sit there. I felt bad, and he was so apologetic.”

After leaving WWE, Rush went on to work for renowned companies including AEW, NJPW, AAA, GCW, PWG, RevPro, and MLW. He is currently happy working in NJPW and that is all that matters.
