Trevor Murdoch recently spoke with Fightful about the NWA World Title, TNA, his WWE run, WLW and other topics.

Murdoch said he never had a contract when he worked in TNA in 2009:

“I was legitimately on a phone call deal. Like every week, I was sitting around waiting to get a call going, ‘Okay, we’re going to use you this week.’”

Murdoch said he believes Triple H taking over WWE is a good thing:

“I had a chance to work with DX and Hunter behind the scenes. He was constantly talking to us about wrestling and wrestling ideas. When I heard that Hunter was taking over, I was stoked. You’re gonna see a whole brand new product, in my opinion, a product we all love and enjoy again in about three months. You’re gonna take some time to build different angles and stuff like that, but one thing about Hunter is he’s not afraid to listen to the people and he’s smart enough not to give it all away.”

“Right now, there are some other companies out there, and I’m not gonna name any names, that are just throwing every single thing they have as soon as they get their hands on it. They just wanna get it out and give it to the people. There’s something to be said about a nice, slow build of things. That’s what you’re gonna see out of Hunter in WWE. We’re gonna have this conversation in about three or four months, and we’re gonna be talking about what’s going on in WWE because they’re gonna have pro wrestling on their TV.”
