Former TNA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles recently did an interview with Chris and Gavin of The Casual Heroes. He talked about Jeff Jarrett’s new wrestling promotion,
signing with New Japan Pro Wrestling and TNA. Check it out below:
On
the possibility of seeing Styles in Jarrett’s new promotion Global Force
Wrestling: When the information is available, I can tell you more, but
literally I know just about as much as you do about that. If Jeff has something
going on, I’d definitely love to be a part of it. I trust Jeff.
Why
Did He Sign With New Japan Pro Wrestling: Well, I mean I went to New
Japan, the biggest pro wrestling promotion in Japan and one of the most
prestigious wrestling companies in the world. A promotion I’ve been a fan of
since i got into wrestling. Well, there is a faction named the Bullet Club and
they don’t take crap from anybody. I figured why not join that team. I went
after a guy named Okada. He was in TNA for a very short time and they didn’t
use him very well but obviously he is very talented.
His
thoughts on TNA Executive Vice President John Garbrick’s statement that he
offered AJ a fair deal: Someone there was claiming that TNA was giving
me a “fair deal”, well I don’t see it that way. A pay cut isn’t a fair deal.
That’s not how business works. It just goes to show you that some people just
don’t know what they are talking about. You can cover what you want on your
show, but I really need to clear that up. It makes me wonder who this is a fair
deal too, because it’s not fair to the guy that you are giving it to. The
company was mismanaged and you could have gone another route instead of doing
that. I’ve been with the company for 11 years and saying that was a slap in the
face to me for saying it was a fair deal. To take a pay cut, basically half of
what you were making, you gotta be real, it doesn’t make sense.
But he doesn’t know what he is talking about because he has only been there for
a cup of coffee so… And I’m not bitter at TNA. I’m mad at this one guy, whoever
it is that guy that is now in a hiring authority that said he gave me a fair
deal.
