Sporting News got an opportunity to chat with Moose about his re-signing, his future goals with the company and testing the free agent market. Quotes are below:
Sporting News: First, we at SN want to congratulate you on signing a new multi-year deal with Impact Wrestling. What was the biggest reason for re-signing with the company?
Thank you for the kind words, as I’m very excited. I felt like I re-signed with the company because I have some goals when I first signed with Impact that I haven’t reached yet. So, I didn’t want to leave without fulfilling those goals before I originally signed with the company.
What are the goals that you haven’t been able to accomplish yet?
I definitely want to be the world champion, first and foremost. I always said I wanted to help Impact get back to where it was years ago. Everyday we take a step closer to doing that. I don’t want to leave when I know we are so close to getting there. We have some great guys on the roster. We just made some new additions that will definitely help the company and I want to be apart of that.
On the growth he’s seen from IMPACT Wrestling:
Since I’ve been with Impact, it’s been great. I know when I first got to Impact … I’m not going to lie, I asked myself, ‘Maybe I made a mistake by coming here’. As soon as Anthem bought the company and (executive vice presidents of Impact) Scott D’Amore and Don Callis came on board, things have been working great. You could see the improvement TV show after TV show. Everything takes time for people to start seeing the improvement. I think we are showing that improvement. Fans just need to be patient and things will keep on getting better.
On testing the free agency market:
I feel like I do have a name in wrestling that if I had decided to test free agency that I would have a lot of interest. In that mindset, there’s no reason to test the market because you know with all the pro wrestling companies out there that’s going to be some interest. But at the end of the day, I had guys hitting me up and asking me what my contract situation was. I told them. But that doesn’t mean anything. At this point, I have certain goals that I have set and I don’t want to leave without accomplishing them. If I would have won a world championship and obtained those goals before my contract was up, then we might be having a different discussion.
