Josh Alexander talks leaving TNA, MLP

[Chris]

On deciding to go to AEW:

“I had a meeting with TNA the year before and they picked up my option and they were like, ‘We really want to keep you.’ I’m like, ‘Okay guys, I would be doing myself and my family a disservice not to see what else is out there from a financial perspective. So, you guys come to the table with an offer.'”

“They never made me an offer, ever. They just took that and were like, ‘Oh, he’s leaving.’ I was like, ‘OK,’ even though we had conversations over time where I was just like ‘make an offer, guys’ and they just never did. So, obviously, I went and talked to two other companies and I had to make my decision there, and I chose AEW because it was just the right fit for me, right fit for my family.”

On MLP:

“Northern Rising is one of the most stacked cards I’ve ever been on for an independent wrestling show. Probably the most stacked show, to be honest."

“Even before I got signed, I was somebody that was trying to champion Canadian wrestling and try to get it noticed because I knew how difficult it was for anybody to break through. It means a great deal to me to be a part of this.”

Rough that TNA didn't even offer him a deal

TNA are so fucking stupid

Well letting two of the biggest stars that you have in Josh and Jordynne go, makes me wonder if they'll let it happen with moose also. I get Grace wanted to go WWE but not offering Josh a new deal is fucking nuts. AEW massive gain and the best signing since Bryan and Adam Cole for me personally.

What a fumble. This reminds me of when Bubba Ray literally said all he wanted was Heyman to offer him and Devon a raise even if it was just a dollar and they would’ve stayed in ECW.

Moose was actually given one of the biggest contracts in TNA history recently and it’s a long-term deal from what I understand.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Moose is a goof though sadly

I didn't know that had happened. Thanks for letting me know.

Good in ring though but we all got our own opinions and that's what makes it fun being wrestling fans. His match v Oba was mint .

I like him as a wrestler just not as a person. Too many flags like supporting a kid diddler and a racista
