Robbie McAllister Recalls The Highlanders’ WWE Release, Wanted a Singles Run

The Highlanders had a run in WWE from 2006 to 2008, and Robbie McAllister recently weighed in on their release from the company. Robbie and Rory McAllister were let go from the company in August of 2008, five months after Robbie was shown on camera in the crowd during a TNA Impact taping. Robbie spoke with Developmentally Speaking for a new interview, and you can see a couple of highlights below (h/t to Wrestling Inc):

On the team being released from WWE: “It is what it is, I would’ve liked to try a singles run at WWE but it wasn’t in the cards, because technically Rory [McAllister] and I didn’t give the company a reason to keep us.”

On the team not advocating for themselves: “I personally didn’t do anything to keep the Highlanders there… Maybe I wasn’t — because I’m a nice guy — I wasn’t cut out for the real hard part of wrestling.”
