January 29, 2016

TNA star James Storm recently spoke with Real Sport 101 to promote TNA’s UK tour which kicks off tonight in Manchester. Below are some interview highlights:

Why he chose to return to TNA instead of signing with WWE/NXT:

“I’ve been with TNA since the very beginning and I want to see them succeed, I feel like I have a lot to give not just to TNA but the wrestling business as a whole, I just felt that right now I can help TNA out a lot.”

Did he always plan on returning to TNA?:

“No, it was never an all-out decision to come back to TNA, Me and Hunter (Triple H) had a talk and as far as I’m aware left the door open, Hunter has done some great things for NXT, no matter what people may think of his on screen character, behind the scenes he’s one of the most passionate guys in the business.”
