Former WWE Superstar Shelton Benjamin, who recently signed with the new upstart Global Force Wrestling promotion, noted on Twitter on Friday that he recently negotiated with TNA Wrestling.
“Many have asked will I ever go to Impact Wrestling,” wrote Benjamin on his official Twitter account. “[I] very recently concluded a dialogue with the company and while both parties are eager to do business, we were unable to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement.”
Benjamin continued, “This is very regretful with all of the possibilities that were possible. I have a lot of respect for Impact Wrestling and the talent who a few I consider great friends. Jade is not one of them.”
“The door is open on both sides, so hey, maybe one day,” Benjamin added. “I will continue to raise hell with New Japan Pro Wrestling, Pro Wrestling NOAH and back stateside with Global Force Wrestling, and pretty much all over the world!”
