Abyss Confirms WWE Wanted Him to Face the Undertaker

In a recent interview with “Ring Rust Radio,” TNA superstar Abyss confirms WWE wanted him to face the Undertaker at WrestleMania 19. Former WWE and ECW talent Tommy Dreamer broke the news about WWE wanting to bring Abyss into the company in 2003 while appearing on “The Steve Austin” show in 2014.

When asked about the comments Dreamer made, and if he had any regrets for not signing with WWE in favor of TNA, Abyss said the following,

“I absolutely 1,000 percent would make the same decision again. I absolutely have no regrets whatsoever. Being a part of TNA since the beginning is something that I am extremely proud of. I’m not saying other places aren’t great places to go work, but for me the decision to stay on that occasion and several others is that I love TNA. I am TNA through and through and I always will be.

I did have opportunities to go other places and I am proud that I was afforded that opportunity. The reason I stayed was for loyalty and no other reason. Not stage fright as Tommy joked in that interview, it had completely to do with the fact the I love TNA through and through. The company has treated me fantastic over the decade plus years I have been there.

From Dixie to everyone there I am really happy there. I wanted to stay there and help build the company, be a part of something that I was with since the ground up. There is nowhere else in the World I could go and say that. That was the reason that I stayed and I have zero regrets. If I was asked to do it over again a 100 times I would do it 100 times.”

Abyss goes on to talk about his TNA career, the evolution of his character, and more. You can listen to the entire interview here.
