Ricky Morton Shoots Hard on Hermie Sadler, The UWF, and Why He Missed the Rock-N-Roll Express Tag Team Tournament

Posted: Aug 15th 2007 By: CMBurnham

Today, Ricky Morton joined James Guttman on ClubWWI.com for one of, if not THE, most intense shoot interview yet on The Club. Considering that names like Tracy Smothers, Ole Anderson, and The Iron Sheik have done ClubWWI.com interviews, that's saying a lot.

The most intense moment of the 37 minute shoot came when James asked Ricky about Hermie Sadler. Last month, Sadler had promoted the "Rock-N-Roll Express Tag Team Tournament." Morton didn't appear and Hermie stated that it was because Ricky had wanted more money. Now, Ricky Morton explains his side of the story.

Morton said that he found out he was getting paid 3 times less per night than his partner Robert Gibson. Aside from that, he had made a deal to present the titles to the winner of the Tourney. He later was told second-hand that he would be wrestling against the Steiner Brothers in a tag match. When he called Sadler to discuss it, Morton says that he was spoken to rudely. Hermie accused him of trying to hold him up for money before the show. Morton was upset, but despite that conversation, called back to check on whether his hotel room was booked. Why? Ricky explains:

"I did pick the phone up to say, 'Did you get me a hotel room? I'll be there." Because I was going there to slap the living f**k out of him in front of all them boys. Tell ya the truth. I was gonna bitchslap the dog f**k out of him to let him understand he ain't gonna talk to me that way. But then after a couple of days, after I cooled down, I just called him that morning and said 'Kiss my ass. I'm not coming'". You got to know what you're doing to run a wrestling business. What does Hermie Sadler know? His shows were all the sh*ts. Everybody told me it was f**kin' horrible. And before you can be a promoter, at least you have to qualify to be in a goddamn race if you're a racecar driver. He didn't qualify. And then when he did qualify, I bet he didn't finish the mother f**ker and never f**kin' won! So ya'll can take that any way you want to. He has no f**kin' business being a promoter in this business because he has no clue. And Hermie, if you're listening to this, I'm not trying to be mean at you. I'm just trying to tell you the f**kin' truth."

It didn't end there. Ricky continued to speak about Hermie Sadler and the UWF in his ClubWWI.com interview. He also spoke openly about many other topics including being accused of being on drugs, his family, Robert Gibson, 60 minute matches with Ric Flair, why WWE doesn't want him, and more.
