Former WWE creative team member Kevin Eck interviewed with Ethan Carter III recently to discuss the current state of TNA, the company possibly working with GFW and more. Here are the highlights.
Here are the highlights.
There has been a lot of speculation as of late regarding TNA’s future and the current the state of the company, so I have to ask what your take is on the situation.
I’ve never been a part of such unwarranted negativity as some heap on TNA, even if those same ones praise me. Most of the time it is speculation, but the only thing I can do is the best work I possibly can. I can’t and won’t be distracted by any noise. I’ll let the chips fall where they may. Rock and roll, deal with it. Having said that, I do feel fully confident in what we as a company are doing and going.
What are your thoughts on Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling working with TNA?
Jeff was someone I had a little bit of time with when I first arrived, and wish I had more. It is great because now I have that, and it’s another veteran to learn our craft from. What went on and goes on is not knowledge I’m privy to, but I can only see positives in the two brands working together cohesively.
Any comment on Pro Wrestling Illustrated taking world title status away from the TNA championship?
I would welcome them the opportunity to discuss with me that I’m not classified a “world champion” to my face, but that “decision” doesn’t take anything away from what I make financially and, more importantly, what I accomplish. To me, that is more noise. This business is again based completely on speculation and that is all speculation. If I were to say, and if you quote me, people, use it in context, “I don’t feel PWI is legitimate journalism,” does that change anything about their business? No. None of this matters. The only thing that matters is we, and I, continue to grow, thrive, and deliver.
