In an interview with V2 Wrestling out of the United Kingdom, former TNA Wrestling superstar Christopher Daniels discussed his departure from the company, the potential of working for Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling promotion, Frankie Kazarian and much more.
Highlights of the interview are below:
On Frankie Kazarian’s status with TNA: “I can’t really confirm 100%, but I can tell you that the odds are very good that rather soon the both of us will be doing what we want to do in the world of professional wrestling.”
On his TNA release: “I’m not sure what their reasoning was, it wasn’t money, we never even got to talking about money. Part of me takes it personally, anybody that is in some sort of entertainment field where they are their own product, when you’re told, no, we don’t want you, of course a little bit of you takes it personally.”
On reports that Vince Russo is working for TNA: “I never saw Vince Russo and the creative team never said one way or the other. They’re denying it now, but when I was backstage, Frankie and I never saw any hint that Vince Russo was there.”
On the potential of working for Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling promotion: “I’m certainly hoping to work with Jeff Jarrett, I think he’s a great mind. I think that if someone could take something and make it out of nothing, I think it’s Jeff Jarrett.”
On breaking kayfabe: “I definitely respect the business enough to try and protect it as much as possible. When I came up, kayfabe was solid, but now I’ve seen the change in the mentality, the curtain has been pulled back and it’s hard to unring that bell now the word is out. It’s one thing for everybody to be in on the gag, but you don’t want to make people aware of it while they’re watching the product, like, people know there’s a gimmick to magic, but they never really know what the gimmick is. You want them guessing what they’re watching.
Daniels also revealed his dream opponent, talked about the influence of Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff in TNA and revealed whether he sees a return to Ring of Honor in his future. The interview is available in full at this link.
