Top star and current TNA Heavyweight Champion Moose has revealed why he chose TNA Wrestling over WWE and AEW.
At TNA Hard To Kill 2024, Moose defeated Alex Shelley to win the TNA Heavyweight Championship.
This marked Moose’s second reign with the gold and followed the former NFL star re-signing with the company last year.
In a new interview with Steve Fall of Wrestlingnews,co, Moose revealed why he chose TNA Wrestling over WWE and AEW. He said:
“I mean, it’s well known that me and Scott have a great relationship. I mean, Scott is the one who trained me to be a pro wrestler.”
“So obviously without his guidance and without him, I wouldn’t be in the position I am now. A lot of people ask me, ‘Oh, why did you turn down going to WWE and going to AEW to stay in TNA’, and Scott D’Amore is a big reason for that.”
“It’s one of those things if Scott D’Amore isn’t here, then Moose isn’t here, so that answers that question. So yeah, me and Scott are always talking. He’s a huge mentor to me.”
“Obviously, we have multiple relationships. We have the mentor-student relationship. We have the boss-employee relationship.”
“Then we have the friend relationship. Then we have the big brother-little brother relationship. There’s so many different relationships between myself and Scott. We’re always talking.”
“He’s always guiding me on things I need to do to get better and things I need to try and things that I can maybe stop doing.”
On February 7, TNA Wrestling announced that Scott D’Amore was exiting the company following his contract being terminated. The company appointed Anthony Cicione as the new President.
Moose will defend the TNA Heavyweight Championship against Alex Shelley at TNA No Surrender on February 23.
