In a recent interview with Busted Open Radio, former TNA Wrestling President Scott D’Amore discussed several topics, including his departure from the company and how he knew that it was happening two days before the TNA Hard To Kill pay-per-view back in January.

“Here’s your scoop for your headline, I found out that what was happening with me two days before Hard To Kill. I was about to get on a plane, I found out kind of what was in the cards, Len Asper and I had a chat about it, even though I had seen some signs, it still hit me pretty hard, but I did what professionals do, I locked that in that place in my brain and kept it there and flew to Las Vegas with Tommy Dreamer and the rest of the team.

I hate when people give me all the credit, and I hate when people give me all the blame. TNA succeeded because of the team we were able to assemble, I’m proud to have led that team and I’m proud to have assembled that team. I dutifully finished out the Florida tapings, and I left the building that night thinking that’s it, okay, I fulfilled my obligations. I woke up the next morning and did two things, I put Jordynne Grace in the Royal Rumble, and I started looking about where I could raise funds to acquire TNA.

Any of the BS that I tried to buy the company, and that’s what led to me leaving was not the case, it boiled down to a difference of opinions on how things should be, there was no f you, no f you, I’ve spoken with Len Asper since then, like as I said to him the day we talked about it, or it might have been the day the announcement went ahead, he said I hope there is no hard feelings. I said I can’t say there are no hard feelings, but there are no personal feelings.

It was very conflicting, I was very proud of what we had done as a group, and what we accomplished and where we came, and I was upset that the reigns got taken away from me at a time that I think we were perched and ready to continue to explode.”
