Chris Masters Reflects on Missed WWE Championship Opportunities Chris Masters recently spoke with Chris Van Vliet about his career in WWE and the reasons he never secured a championship title. Masters recounted how his opportunities were often altered by creative decisions, citing specific instances where his planned victories were changed at the last minute. He mentioned that he and Carlito were originally set to win titles at WrestleMania, but the plan was switched the day before. Masters explained that Carlito was being positioned as a babyface, and The Spirit Squad wanted to give them a boost by having them win the belts. Masters also discussed his attempt to win the Intercontinental Championship. He revealed that he was scheduled to win the title in a four-way match in Vegas, but his plans were derailed by an intervention related to his prescription painkiller abuse. During a meeting with Johnny Ace, he was informed that he would need to attend rehab. Masters admitted that he failed to follow through with the intervention, which ultimately cost him the opportunity. Regarding the tag team titles, Masters stated he had no control over their outcome, as it was a result of creative decisions beyond his influence. He also touched on Vince McMahon’s consideration of making him the youngest champion, noting that Vince was exploring options with multiple wrestlers at the time. Masters hinted that John Cena may have given him the thumbs down at some point, though he did not elaborate. The interview highlights the unpredictable nature of WWE storytelling and the challenges wrestlers face in securing titles, often due to factors beyond their control.#vince_mcmahon #john_cena #chris_masters #carlito #the_spirit_squad
