D’Lo Brown Discusses a Return to WWE or TNA, Indy Wrestling, and More

The hosts of the VOC Nation Wrestling program recently interviewed former WWE and TNA superstar D’Lo Brown. On the show, D’Lo Brown discusses a return to WWE or TNA, Indy wrestling, and more. Below are some notable quotes from the interview.

On all of TNA’s recent financial struggles and talent releases:

“Being there on surface level, I have to take a step back and look at things from 30,000 feet, I think that they’re going through some growing pains. They’re restructuring and trying to fortify their product. It was a huge financial burden to take the show on the road, and although the shows have been successful, I think it’s part of the natural growing process of the company. And in a sense, they’re like pruning a tree [in looking at the company releasing certain talent, including himself].”

On whether or not IMPACT WRESTLING went on the road too soon:

“Ready or not they had to go. It was time to move on. The crowds were becoming stale; they weren’t adding to the product, they were taking away from it.”

On whether he knew his release was coming or not:

“This was completely out of the blue. We just solidified a deal that Friday, and things changed over the weekend. It caught me completely by surprise.”

On if he will ever return to TNA:

“The door is always open to return; we parted amicably. I felt like I did a really good job there and I received a lot of praise from the upper echelon. I’m open to a reconciliation.”

On if he would ever return to the WWE, possibly as a trainer:

“Jobs don’t grow on trees, and those jobs are based on a need basis. If that opportunity ever arises, I’ll be ready for it, but in the meantime, I’ll do the things that I can do and have control over.”

On if he will begin to compete in different independent promotions:

“Absolutely. I think that the match I had with Kurt Angle and then the next week with Joseph Park got the wrestling juices flowing again in me. I thought I was going to feel like hell and I actually felt good. I’m back in the gym killing it trying to get back into wrestling shape. I’ll be taking wrestling bookings and I’ll be out there having fun.”
