Ex-WWE Star Launches Expletive-Filled Exposé On Controversial Promoter

WWE

Lince Dorado has opened up about his dislike for former CHIKARA promoter Mike Quackenbush which carried over to their time in WWE.

In 2002, Quackenbush would open a training school and then his own promotion of which Dorado would become a member in 2007.

Quackenbush would also serve as a trainer and coach at the WWE Performance Center, leading to the role of production consultation in NXT.

Dorado would open up about his issues with Quackenbush during the Sunday Night’s Main Event show, saying:

“The true heat with Quack, I think, a couple things. It’s not only with Quack, it’s a lot of people. I’m a man. Talk to me like a man. Don’t treat me like I’m a kid. Don’t talk to me like I’m a kid.

“As a trainer, your job is to take my money, to teach me how to safely give and do wrestling moves, and put a match together. Other than that, I’m not going to feed into the bulls**t cult of ‘you need to be here, you need to do this,’ and all this other BS.

“I saw his true colors when I actually got hurt at the end last show in 2007, ECW Arena in November. I honestly felt, when I came to, because I knocked myself out, that he didn’t have my best interest in mind and he tried to offer to sell my mask as a way to pay toward my tuition rather than ask me if I was okay. That was the first incident.

“The second incident happened in 2009, going into 2010, where i just had a baby, my first kid. There were a lot of things going on. I moved to Florida, I was going to Japan for another company. Again, I wasn’t buying into the bulls**t cult of what CHIKARA was back in the day.

“I told him, ‘I’m flying myself in, I’m not really getting paid a lot because I’m one of your guys. At the end of day, I need help or I’m only going to do the bigger shows.’

“Motherf**ker was like, ‘If you’re not going to make this show, don’t worry about coming to Kings of Trios.’ ‘Okay, no problem. I totally get that.’ He was basically like, ‘Good luck making money.’ Okay, motherf**ker, I got you.”

Dorado would sign with WWE in July 2016 having competed in that year’s WWE Cruiserweight Classic in April.

He would reveal what he did with his first paycheck, going on to say:

“When I got to WWE, I’ll say it straight up, my first check was for about $8900. I sent it to him. ‘Good luck making money? Good luck making this much money ever motherf**ker. I made this in one month, or one week doing nothing.’ I didn’t show up, I did nothing. I literally did nothing.”

With their paths set to cross in WWE, Dorado explained how he wanted to repair the damage, stating:

“He didn’t say anything, of course. He evaded me. I sent him emails, to try and talk to him like a man.

“I grew up and everything, I wanted to move past it and everything. I just felt like he wasn’t. To the point where he got offered a coaching job at WWE and I told WWE and the people in charge, ‘This guy and me, we need words. I need to have a conversation with him if we’re going to be in the same building because either I’m going to slap him or we’re going to have a conversation and it’s going to be over with.’

“Finally, he agreed to the conversation, but the day the conversation was going to happen, he (got) canceled and, long story short, WWE gave him the kibosh and told him to never come back.

“For me, that was like, ‘that’s what you get. Suck my d**k. I don’t care.’ Piece of s**t. I’m glad his ass got canceled. I tell him, anytime I’m in Philadelphia if any ducks want it, I’m here, I’m ready to quack you up.”

Quackenbush was the subject of allegations during #SpeakingOut in 2020 and would announce the closure of CHIKARA shortly thereafter.

Following his WWE release in November 2021, Dorado has gone on to compete in MLW, NJPW, CMLL and has appeared on AEW Rampage in October 2023.
