During a recent appearance on “The Takedown” podcast, Mustafa Ali revealed his reasons for re-signing with TNA Wrestling following his return last week. 

Ali is a former X-Division champion.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On signing a new deal with TNA: “We have put pen to paper, we have shaken hands, and we have committed. I am now officially a part of the TNA party, and I believe there’s only one man responsible for all of TNA’s success: and that is me. TNA is on the precipice of greatness, and it needs a great leader, and, I, Mustafa Ali, am that leader.”

On why he signed a new deal: “TNA was the right fit for, me, and I was the right fit for TNA. As you know, in wrestling in general and the industry of entertainment, sometimes it’s right place, right time, but it’s got to be for both parties. I absolutely love what the industry is today. I love that one roster has several options, several big time options to go make big time money, and not just the wrestlers. I’m talking about medical staff, producers, people behind the scenes, even people that cover the the industry. There’s so much to do that, if you’re not successful somewhere, it’s it’s really on you.”

On what he likes about TNA: “I felt like TNA was going to provide me with a platform to creatively really expand, some of these other organizations, I don’t want to say ‘bottleneck,’ but there’s a certain process there. The one thing that I really enjoyed about my previous stint at TNA is that if I wanted an answer, if I wanted to do something, if I needed a ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ I knew who to talk to and I would get that answer within minutes.”

During a recent edition of his “AdFreeShows” podcast, former WWE/WCW star Lex Luger revealed the favorite title victory of his career, mentioning his NWA US Title win from Nikita Koloff in 1987.

On his first NWA US Title win: “It was my first really big one. When I won that, I came out of that cage match with Nikita [Koloff] in Greensboro, and man, there’s a picture of me holding the belt up with a big smile on my face, I go ‘Man, I’ve arrived.’ Back then, the US Title was very prestigious. It was the number two belt in what we did behind the world title for a long time. It was a big deal, so I thought ‘I’m making it, man.’”

On having the longest combined US Title reign: “Not to brag or anything, but that’s a beautiful US title isn’t it. I don’t mean to brag, but still the longest-reigning US Champion ever both consecutive days, 500 something, and total days 900-something, almost a thousand days. I haven’t been unseated. Some say that’ll never be broken.”
