From a new interview on IGN;
>”I was supposed to do a match for the WWE. It started as kind of a joke thing but I took it pretty seriously, they sent me down to Florida to train and I ended up losing about 40 pounds and putting on a bunch of muscle. And they throw me in the ring and, I don’t know, I guess I took to it pretty naturally. So then suddenly they wanted me to have a bigger part, there was talk of me fighting [laughter] Logan fucking Paul. And I said “oh, the suicide forest guy?” And I guess that was the wrong thing to say because things kind of fell apart after that.”
>”I didn’t hear from them for weeks but they kept paying me to train, so I did, and I think it was kind of to the detriment of the rest of my life. My channel went quiet for a bit and I know Leah wasn’t happy with me being gone so much, but it was cool, man. I thought I’d be fighting at Wrestlemania or something. Then they call me one day and said they weren’t happy with my progress and killed the whole thing.”
>”I was training with a guy who they fired recently, so he texts me and says it’s all bullshit, it was politics. Because I made a joke about Logan Paul, no, not even a joke. Because I made a comment about him I got the axe.”
Dunkey is then asked if he’d ever be interested in wrestling again.
>”So the cool thing about wrestling is everybody knows everybody. The guy who trained me gave me the contact info of somebody who didn’t work for WWE, somebody who actually watched my videos if you can believe it. So, you know, I text him a little and he’s like ‘your stuff is great, man, I’d love to see you do a match with us one day.’ And he’s worked with video games before, he gets it. So yeah, never say never I guess. I’m a Dad now, which is still crazy to say, but if the timing is right? Yeah, I’d be interested. Not for WWE, though, they can keep Logan Paul.”
