Former TNA star Gunner recently spoke to Wrestling Inc’s Sean Ross Sapp about his release from the promotion and his ultimate goal to end up in WWE. Below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On being cut by TNA and how he was used by the promotion: “I truly believe releasing me is just something trying to free up money. I’m 33, but there’s bigger doors opening up for me. I felt like I was underutilized, and I told them that. I don’t know if that was something that made them mad. We did those tapings in February, and there was a day I did four matches, and me and Bram were the last two guys in the tournament.”
On his career goal to end up in WWE: “The [TNA] tapings in May that I was a part of, the story lines got a little jacked up and I suffered from that. I always felt like there was a place for Gunner. I’d been there for six years, I’d paid my dues. I drove up for a year and a half on my own in 2009 and 2010 to work security to get a job. I honestly felt like it was a slap in the face, but a blessing in disguise. My ultimate goal is wrestle for WWE or a company that’s going to use me right.”
