Former ROH star Moose recently signed with TNA and he spoke to Sport’s Illustrated’s Extra Mustard blog about his big debut and more. You can check out the full interview here along with a few highlights below.
Signing with TNA: “When I decided to go with TNA, it just happened that the taping was on Tuesday and I signed that day. I didn’t know how I was going to be taken by the crowd. I was nervous just because of that–it was a brand new company and you never know how they’re going to take you, but it didn’t long at all for the ‘Moose’ chant to start. I saw everyone doing the fist pump and doing the chant and I said to myself, ‘I guess I’m home.'”
Interest from WWE: “I was grateful that WWE had interest in me. We’ll see what happens in the future.”
