It’s undeniable that TNA Wrestling gets a lot of flack in the industry for picking up a lot of past WWE or Ring of Honor stars and rebranding them.
The current TNA World Champion Drew Galloway recently appeared on Interactive Wrestling Radio to discuss that very same issue.
You can listen to the full interview right here. Below are some of the highlights:
What does Drew think about being seen as a TNA talent and not a WWE castaway?
“I appreciate that. For everybody that’s leaving the WWE right now like Cody, Barrett… They’re going to do things because they have those capabilities… But the other guys that aren’t too sure of themselves and aren’t too sure where they’re going to go, I just wanted to set an example and show that there is a big world out there. The wrestling world is on fire right now! Just go out there, prove what you can do and you may get the opportunity somewhere like TNA to really show what you can do on the biggest stage.”
What does he think about the constant negativity towards Impact Wrestling?
“Just watch the show! it is as simple as that. I have seen a difference since I’ve got to the company. At first, they’d ask me why I was there. I’d ask their opinion. “Ok, what’s wrong?” What’s your opinion of the product?” I like to hear the negatives because I like to hear if it is constructive and see if I agree with them. That is the only way you get better is if you get a constructive opinion. But, generally, they just didn’t watch the show! Fast forward to the past few months. The same kind of fans are saying they are watching the product and they’re very happy with how it has been especially since the move to POP TV.”
