Bret Hart's Erotic Illustrations & Vince McMahon's CM Punk Request: Ten Things You May Have Missed In Wrestling In October 2021

6. NXT Didn't Let The Juice Loose

Credit must go to the former CJ Parker, who has reinvented himself on the independent and international scene as Juice Robinson since being released by WWE in 2015. 

Parker never got called up to the main roster and was still trying to make some noise in NXT when he got wished well in his future endeavours. Like many in his situation, he was actively trying to remain on the books by pitching new characters and storylines at the time of his release. 

As revealed to Fightful, one of the characters he came up with got him in hot water with management: 

"I can clear the air now. This was awesome. To me, all I was trying to do – I'm gonna just leave it all out there right here – I was trying to be super, super, super left-wing. Almost a caricature of a hippy or what call a hippy. Just funny stuff. I kinda had some CM Punk/Straight Edge Society like that, weird, out there, almost disconnected with actual reality. That kind of 'heel'. That's what I was going for. I was trying to not lose to people in two minutes on TV. That's what I was trying to do".

Not exactly the most controversial thing in the world I'm sure you'll agree, but what got Parker the heat was his decision a promo in front of Sea World: 

"So me and another guy, I can't remember who, came up with it, but next thing I know we're outside of Sea World doing the tear going down my eye and sad music, the orcas are swimming and I called it Slave World. You can't say that, of course. It was meant to be an idea. What could have been. 

Anyways, I showed it to Dusty [Rhodes] and he loved it. Absolutely loved it. However, somebody else said, 'Don't show that again'. Well, I ended up showing it again. Apparently, Anheuser-Busch sponsors Sea World. Anheuser-Busch also is with WWE or something, I don't know. Bureaucratic bull crap. It never saw the light of day, but it was very, very entertaining. Very tongue-in-cheek, very pro wrestling".

That's where you went wrong, pal. Pro wrestling? We sports-entertain here in WWE!

Robinson further stated that he doesn't have the promo but that he does know where it is and that it could possibly be released in the future.
