Scott D'Amore discusses TNA firing

[Chris]

“Here’s your scoop for your headline: I found out that what was happening with me two days before Hard to Kill…I was about to get on a plane, I found out kind of what was in the cards. [Anthem CEO] Len Asper and I had a chat about it. Even though I had seen some signs, it still hit me pretty hard, but I did what professionals do. I locked that in that place in my brain and kept it there and flew to Las Vegas with Tommy [Dreamer] and the rest of the team. I hate when people give me all the credit and I hate when people give me all the blame. TNA succeeded because of the team we were able to assemble. I’m proud to have led that team and I’m proud to have assembled that team.”

“I dutifully finished out the Florida tapings and I left the building that night thinking that’s it, okay, I fulfilled my obligations. I woke up the next morning and did two things. I put Jordynne Grace in the [Royal] Rumble and I started looking about where I could raise funds to acquire TNA. Any of the BS that I tried to buy the company, and that’s what led to me leaving, was not the case. It boiled down to a difference of opinions on how things should be. There was no f you, no, f you. I’ve spoken with Len Asper since then. Like as I said to him the day we talked about it, or it might have been the day the announcement went ahead, he said I hope there is no hard feelings. I said I can’t say there are no hard feelings, but there are no personal feelings.”

“It was very conflicting. I was very proud of what we had done as a group and what we accomplished and where we came, and I was very upset that the reigns got taken away from me at a time that I think we were perched and ready to continue to explode.”

Scott speaks with alot of class.

It's a shame that it ended this way. MLP will be a nice way to see how much of his vision was really in TNA

 

[Cwalker]

I thought he wasn't allowed to talk about this

 

[Chris]

I don't think he was until now

 

[Cwalker]

I thought it was next year

 

[Chris]

That was what I personally speculated based on him being an executive lol

Motherfuc…

This whole time I thought you were spitting facts

 

[Chris]

No I think other has said it'd probably be a year too but everyone just said he was silent bc of his exit clause when he was fired lol I think him announcing MLP and then finally sharing his side at the same time just shows how long that agreement was for. As bitter as he has a right to be about getting fired, I don't doubt he got a nice severance too, I'm surprised they didn't make him wait konger to spend it on competing with them tho
