Nick “Magnus” Aldis who recently parted ways with TNA was a guest on the Jobbing Out podcast this week. He talked a lot about his time in TNA and more. You can check out the full interview HERE and read some highlights below:
His TNA Departure:
“When I gave my notice, by the time we got off the phone, I felt like 100 lb weight has been lifted off my back.”
Turbulence In The TNA Locker Room:
“To be honest, it’s been very turbulent. There were certain things I heard in the conference call, where the talent said things like I’m disgusted by this, or we have the right to know…the thing you have to remember is nobody owes you a living. You don’t have a right to be guaranteed anything.”
How Jeff Jarrett Leaving Changed The Company:
“He had a good idea of some fundamental parts of booking. When Jeff left, there were a lot of things that I felt that there was a struggle, that when Jeff was there, he would have nipped it in the bud.”
His Feud With James Storm:
“At the beginning, we had a great in-ring segment.We put in loads of great little subtle nuances, and I thought this would be really good…Suddenly we get the word that this is what they want to do with this train thing. I think some of it unfortunately tied in to that they knew I wasn’t going to stay. That was an issue. Nonetheless, when the train thing came about…I’m trying to be as positive as I can. This was one situation that when it was described, I couldn’t find a single person that liked it. I couldn’t find a single person, apart from the guy whose idea it was, that didn’t say “what the hell is that?”
