On what he thinks of the current turmoil reportedly going on within GFW/Anthem/Impact:

SS: The security is not there anymore. That’s what sucks. That’s what runs through my head. They are losing constant security with the talent. Nothing is secure anymore. That’s the one thing that every wrestler that signs a deal to work with a promotion like Lucha Underground, Ring of Honor or GFW… they want security. They want to be secure about their financial future, their job and to know they are okay for at least a certain amount of time. GFW hasn’t offered that in such a long time and that’s what sucks because I have friends and close family that work there. The hemorrhaging of money? I honestly thought they were saving money with new talent they were signing. They aren’t signing ex-WWE guys or these Hall of Famers that have just been sitting on the shelf for so long. They were signing new, fresh, indie talent and I am pretty sure they were giving them good deals but affordable deals.

On if he thinks Wale would be interested in buying GFW if Anthem put it up for sale:

SS: I think Wale is going to be the next big guy to build up a promotion. Maybe it will be MLW, who knows? I do think he is going to be the next big guy to fund a wrestling promotion and run it. I’d petition for that.
