In an interview with Scott Fishman of The Miami Herald, TNA Wrestling superstar Chavo Guerrero discussed the changes in TNA Wrestling, cost-cutting measures, the pay-per-view schedule, the company going live and much more.
Highlights of the interview are below:
On the company’s recent criticisms and cost-cutting measures: “I’m going to go out there and bust my a** no matter what, because I do it for the fans. The fans who pay money to see us, they deserve good matches and for us to go out there to tear it down, so that’s where my motivation comes in. As far as the releases go, that’s the company protecting themselves and their best interests. No matter how much you think wrestling is family, deep down it’s a business.”
On the company’s decision to go live and move from the Impact Zone in Florida: “When TNA went live, it was either going to take off or it was not going to take off. It’s a crucial time right now in TNA, and I really hope it takes off because it’s better for the business, better for the wrestlers, better for the fans, better for everybody. They got the right players in place, but they have to tweak it all. You can’t beat our wrestlers, our roster is incredible.”
On the decision to cut back to only 4 major events per year: “I think it’s great. I like the fact we went down to four pay-per-views. You see when you have 12 or 13 pay-per-views a year, it’s watered down. Unless it’s a big one like a WrestleMania or something like that, a lot of them are watered down.”
