In an exclusive interview with WrestlingNews.co’s Steve Fall, TNA World Champion Moose spoke about his title win at Hard To Kill and the momentum with the company. Moose also discussed his decision to stay with TNA. A note: This interview (see below) was conducted before Scott D’Amore was fired as TNA President.
Moose on why he re-signed with TNA:
“I mean, it’s well known that me and Scott have a great relationship. I mean, Scott is the one who trained me to be a pro wrestler. So obviously without his guidance and without him, I wouldn’t be in the position I am now. A lot of people ask me, ‘Oh, why did you turn down going to WWE and going to AEW to stay in TNA’, and Scott D’Amore is a big reason for that. It’s one of those things if Scott D’Amore isn’t here, then Moose isn’t here, so that answers that question. So yeah, me and Scott are always talking. He’s a huge mentor to me. Obviously, we have multiple relationships. We have the mentor-student relationship. We have the boss-employee relationship. Then we have the friend relationship. Then we have the big brother-little brother relationship. There’s so many different relationships between myself and Scott. We’re always talking. He’s always guiding me on things I need to do to get better and things I need to try and things that I can maybe stop doing.”
On the new talent that has come to TNA:
“All those people showing up shows you that TNA is a place to be. You have a huge name as in Nick (Nemeth) and a huge name as in Ash with Elegance coming in and then you have guys like A.J. Francis and The Grizzled Young Vets. You have Kushida signing a multi-year deal leaving New Japan to come here. It just shows you that TNA is a place to be because you have all these big names and wrestlers want to skip going elsewhere and to come here. That shows a lot. I think this year is a huge year for us.”
