For a new FOX Sports feature which you can check out at this link, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross spoke with Billy Corgan about his new role in TNA, and below are some highlights:
On whether or not he took the TNA job for the money:
“Absolutely not,” said Corgan. “Dixie [Carter] and I really haven’t talked that much about money but we will get around to it one day, obviously. But now it’s time to go about the business of changing the perception of TNA and growing the brand. If we can do the job of growing TNA on a global basis the money aspect of the job will take care of itself. I want to make my mark on the wrestling business.”
On how he envisions TNA evolving:
“Deeper and longer storylines with bigger payoffs at the end of the story arc,” Corgan said. “Deeper journeys in the storytelling realm than we have seen previously, TNA-identified talents, developing a TNA ‘system’ regarding the in-ring product, establishing a TNA wrestling identity, storylines that are logical and that make sense because storytelling is the key tenement to the business. I also don’t want to hear the mention of other wrestling companies or a talent’s previous pro-wrestling accomplishments on our shows.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
