- TNA star Samoa Joe recently sat down Guru Magazine, where he discussed where he sees TNA in 5 years:
“I think five years from now, TNA will still be doing well and thriving, and will have more of an international presence around the world. For all of the criticism that people like to levy against the company – I’ve heard ‘it’ll be dead in five years, six years, whatever’ – every year we’ve grown, every year we’ve expanded and we’ve forged ahead into new markets – the UK, now India [with new promotion Ring Ka King], and that trend will continue. I think anybody that thinks otherwise is kidding themselves – and we’ll be more than happy to prove you wrong!”
On Wrestling’s Immorality:
“Obviously during the ‘Attitude era’ and even now we have pushed the borders on controversial topics and we do all kinds of things that the general populus may not like … but you’d be hard pressed to watch most TV nowadays and not find the same thing. Is it the greatest moral compass and example of how to live your life? Absolutely not, because we solve almost everything through violence! But at the same time, if you’re looking at it that seriously, then I think you’re missing the plot.”
- During a recent Q&A on JRSBARBQ.com Jim Ross said the younger stars just aren’t hungry enough:
“They aren’t hungry enough or willing to challenge a top star for their spot on the roster. Too many talents are content to not make ‘waves’ and to live quietly and somewhat financially comfortable within their comfort zones. I can assure you that the comfort zone complex is the kiss of death in most organizations and businesses and is not exclusive to sports entertainment.”
On whether The Rock is taking Wrestlemania seriously Ross wrote:
“Be assured of one thing about @TheRock…he wants…he needs to steal the show in Miami. There’s no way that Dwayne comes back to the bright lights and big stage to perform against @JohnCena, who is WWE’s biggest star, just for the hell of it. Wrestling is in Rock’s DNA and he has the motor and mind set to electrify…if you will. I’m intrigued by this match and it seems to be boiling down to a simple matter of respect and appears to be getting more personal by the Tweet.”
