In an interview with the Jordan Garber NOW podcast, former TNA World Heavyweight Champion Magnus commented on his decision to leave TNA Wrestling, WWE possibly purchasing the company’s tape library and more.
Highlights of the interview are below:
On his decision to leave TNA Wrestling: “It’s no secret at this point that my departure from there was because of money, but also because of a failed relationship with the guy in charge and that is as much my fault as it is his fault.”
On winning the Global Force Wrestling Heavyweight Title: “I told Jeff Jarrett of course I’d work for you, I’ll help you out. Then we did the TV tapings in Las Vegas, which were phenomenal. I had no idea. He just said your gonna win and you’re gonna be the champion and I said fantastic. Thanks. It was just business. I guess he just deemed I was the suitable candidate.”
On the potential end of TNA and WWE purchasing the tape library: “It would be sad. If it’s not going to be in a good place, then it may be a better thing. If they get acquired by WWE, it won’t be the worst thing in the world. If they are going to cease operating, at least they could live forever on the Network and have a good legacy. I hope everyone there is having fun and continuing to make money.”
