Veteran star reflects on growth, NXT partnership, and future goals
Summary
– Moose says TNA’s move to AMC is the biggest moment of his decade with the company
– He credits the NXT partnership for expanding TNA’s visibility and momentum
– Brock Lesnar remains Moose’s ultimate dream match if the opportunity ever arises
Moose believes TNA’s upcoming debut on AMC represents a turning point not just for the company, but for everyone who stuck with it through years of uncertainty. After spending more than a decade with the promotion, he described the announcement as the most meaningful news he has heard during his tenure.
According to Moose, longtime roster members felt a shared sense of validation when the deal was confirmed. He pointed to veterans who endured both the highs and the lows of the company, noting that the AMC move feels like proof that TNA never stopped moving forward.
Moose explained that AMC’s national reach creates a rare opportunity to present TNA to a broader audience. With the company now available in millions of homes, he said the responsibility is clear for the roster to deliver at the highest level and define what this new era looks like.
Despite the scale of the moment, Moose said his mindset remains unchanged. He approaches every match with the same preparation and discipline, a philosophy he credits to his football background. Whether it is a television debut or a standard show, his focus stays on effort and execution.
Moose also spoke about TNA’s working relationship with NXT, calling it a major factor in the company’s recent growth. He believes the partnership helped introduce TNA talent to a broader audience and played a role in making the AMC deal possible.
Reflecting on crossover matches, Moose praised Oba Femi as a future star and highlighted his chemistry with Ethan Page. He said working with NXT talent allowed both sides to showcase their strengths on a larger stage.
Looking ahead, Moose avoided setting long-term booking goals. Instead, he emphasized personal consistency and accountability. While much in wrestling is out of his control, he said giving maximum effort every time he steps into the ring is not.
One dream remains in the back of his mind. Moose named Brock Lesnar as the opponent he would most want to face, citing Lesnar’s influence during his football years and the presence he brought to the ring.
As TNA prepares to debut on AMC, Moose views the moment as both a reward and a responsibility. For him, the mission is simple: perform, stay disciplined, and help prove that TNA belongs on a bigger stage.
