Magnus Talks the Mickie James Train Angle, His World Title Run, TNA

Former TNA star Magnus, who recently announced he will be appearing for Global Force Wrestling, was interviewed by the Podnasty Wrestling Podcast and opened up about his time in TNA. Below are a few select highlights from the discussion.

Magnus expressed his displeasure of the infamous train track angle with his significant other, Mickie James:

“The only person who did like it was the person who wrote it. He had the final say on it, we all suggested alternatives, we all thought it was not going to work and it was not going to get a reaction, and our disregard for it and that was the result of it. That was one of the reasons where we just kind of said ‘okay, it’s maybe time to wrap this thing up.'”

He said he believes his TNA World Heavyweight Championship run was ended prematurely:

“To me, I don’t think that decision was just based completely on business. What’s done is done, you know, they made their bed, they’re lying in it and when it comes with what they’re left with now, you get what you pay for.”

Magnus also said TNA was not the place for him when all was said and done, and did not enjoy the end of his run:

“No, absolutely not. Some of that’s to do with them, and some of that’s to do with me,” he said. 

“Nobody owes you a good time or anything like that, but due to a number of different things I wasn’t having fun there anymore and I just like to work for Jeff (Jarrett) again. I think Jeff is a great boss, a great wrestling guy and he’s got a lot of great experience in the business.”

Editor’s Note

He has the look, could use a little in-ring work, but has much potential. Hopefully it’s used well in GFW.
