Marc Mero Had No Desire To Return To WWE After Exit, Recalls Being In Rock’s Debut Match

Marc Mero says he had no desire to return to WWE after he exited the company in 1999. Mero left the company alongside Sable in 1999 and would have short stints with the XWF and TNA, retiring after that.

He was asked in his appearance on Insight With Chris Van Vliet if the door was open for him to return and said he had no desire to do so. He also talked about heading up the Survivor Series team opposite The Rock in the latter’s WWE debut. You can see the highlights below:

On If the Door Was Open For Him to Return To WWE After He Left:

“I had no desire to go back there. I thought I was [done], but then I did do some stints at TNA for a little while. And then, of course, I was friends with Hulk, so they started the XWF, and we tried that for a little while. And then I had my last match in 2006 and then hung up the boots.”

On Being Part of The Rock’s Debut Match At Survivor Series 1996:

“Yes, I was the captain of the team. The plan was, obviously, Rock was going to win the match and stuff. But it was great. Rock is such an amazing guy. I mean, we got along so well. He’s brand new in the company, and I was there for just a little while longer before he was there. But a lot of people might know this about him, though, but he used to come and grab me and we pray together before a match, which I always remembered was a really cool thing. His faith was really strong, and I hope it continues to be strong. I hope it is. I haven’t talked to him in a long time, but I know he’s obviously doing amazing.”
