Moose has enormous respect for AJ Francis since he joined TNA.
The former WWE Superstar debuted for the company earlier this year at Hard To Kill 2024. He attacked Joe Hendry, before becoming embroiled in a feud with the Scottish wrestler. He is now aligned with Rich Swann on Impact, and has become a highlight of the weekly show.
This was a nice surprise, as Francis bounced back quickly after his release from WWE late last year. His hard work in TNA has not gone unnoticed, especially with the reigning world champion of the promotion.
TNA World Champion Moose took to social media to heap praise on AJ Francis. After Francis posted a photo of himself on Twitter acknowledging Reggie Bush getting his Heisman trophy reinstated, Moose replied to congratulate Francis for his hard work. He went on to call him one of the “hardest working dude[s] on our roster”.
“Hardworking doesn’t always have to be Fitness but AJ is definitely one of the hardest working dude on our roster….. Respect and Salute happy you are with us. #Firstclass“.
Moose Wants To Normalize Black Champions In Wrestling
Moose doesn’t want to have to acknowledge when a black wrestler becomes world champion.
After Trick Williams won the NXT Championship last night and Swerve Strickland won the AEW Championship on Sunday, all three major promotions have black world champion. This is a big milestone in wrestling, but not one Moose wants to have to keep acknowledging.
He took to Twitter last night to comment on himself, Swerve and Williams holding title gold. He asked people to normalize it, so that people no longer have to acknowledge it as an achievement, but just the status quo.
Moose said on Twitter:
“Let’s Normalize it so we don’t to Acknowledge it.”
