Here are some highlights:
On working with The System (Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards,
Alisha Edwards & JDC):
“It’s almost like going on vacation when you go to work. All
those guys are my closest friends in real life. Thanks to
Tommy for having me work with my closest friends.
It’s joyful. It’s a vacation going to work because I get to
hang out with those guys. I’d never be the one to complain
about being in the group. We’re best friends.
Honestly, the last three years have been the best three
years of my wrestling career because I get a chance to work
with those guys.”
On finding out TNA would debut on AMC:
“We heard rumors all over the place. Social media, different
people spreading the word. But once we found out for sure,
and it was confirmed by Carlos, it was joyful. We were
excited. Especially guys like myself, Eddie Edwards, Frankie
(Kazarian), Eric Young, and just guys who have been in the
company forever.
We’ve been through the ups and through the very lows. I feel
like this was the biggest news that we’ve heard, especially
since I’ve been here. I’ve been in the company for 10 years.
I’m excited for it. I can’t wait until January 15th to start
rolling. This is a huge opportunity for me and the whole
company to get seen by way more people. So, we have to put
our best foot forward.”
On his mindset and approach to wrestling:
“I’m kind of different because I treat every show and every
event the same. I got that mindset from one of the coaches I
played with, Bill Belichick. It’s business as usual.
It doesn’t matter who I’m in the ring with, whether it’s
somebody who’s 300 pounds, 150 pounds, or someone that’s a
no-name or a superstar. I treat every match the same.
I’m always going to put 110% and be disciplined 110%.”
On his goals for 2026 and dream matches:
“My goal is just to be a better human being. That’s one
thing I know I can control. With everything else, I don’t
like setting long-term goals in wrestling. A lot of those
things are out of my control.
As far as dream matches, I think it’s well known my biggest
dream match is Brock Lesnar. He’s one of the guys I molded
the Moose character on.
But the only thing I do control is that whoever I share the
ring with, I’m always going to give 110%.”
Moose also discussed TNA’s growing partnership with WWE NXT,
working with top NXT talent, his personal goals for 2026,
and more. You can check out the complete interview at this
