According to Marty Garner, John Laurinaitis never wanted him to work for WWE again after his inbox became inundated with emails from the wrestler’s fans.<\/p>\n
Garner, also known as Cham-Pain, wrestled for WWE between 1994 and 1998. In the mid-2000s, he created an online blog and sent it to wrestling newsletters. The site quickly gained 100,000 visitors and drew the attention of Laurinaitis, a WWE talent relations executive at the time.<\/p>\n
On the Cheap Heat Productions Podcast<\/em>, Garner recalled a conversation he had with Laurinaitis after fans started a “Hire Cham-Pain” campaign on the internet. The former WWE official allegedly received 300 to 500 emails per day, prompting him to get in touch with Garner:<\/p>\n “He [John Laurinaitis] said, ‘Well, I don’t wanna ever see you again. If you come to a show, I’ll have you arrested.’ I said, ‘Johnny, I’m just trying to get an F-ing job.’ That was back when I used to curse all the time \u2013 I don’t curse anymore. He goes, ‘Now you’re cursing at a senior official of WWE.’ I said, ‘Johnny, I’m not cursing at you. I’m cursing about the situation.'” [40:42 \u2013 41:02]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
