TNA President Carlos Silva has faced his share of criticism from sections of the online wrestling community, but one of the company’s biggest stars has offered a very different perspective.
Moose recently came to Silva’s defense, explaining why he believes the criticism doesn’t reflect what is happening behind the scenes.
Speaking on the latest episode of Talk’n Shop, the two-time TNA World Champion didn’t hold back when discussing Silva’s leadership.
Moose strongly backs Carlos Silva despite fan criticism
Moose praised Silva in glowing terms, even comparing him to former TNA executive Scott D’Amore before making a bold statement.
“I think Carlos (Silva) is awesome,” Moose said. “I’d probably say he’s probably the best boss I ever worked for, and we all worked for somebody we’d consider a great friend of ours in Scott D’Amore.”
Moose argued that much of the criticism aimed at Silva comes from fans misunderstanding his role. According to him, Silva approaches decisions from a business perspective rather than a creative one.
“He makes a decision in a business sense of things. Not a wrestling side of things,” Moose explained. “If we all were business owners, some of the decisions that he has made, we would all agree with it.”
The TNA star also took aim at a vocal segment of online fans, suggesting that some criticism stems from disagreement rather than the quality of Silva’s work.
“But wrestling fans, especially the annoying ones, are in the mindset of, ‘If you don’t do things my way, then you suck,'” Moose said. “So I think that’s the only heat he’s getting.”
Moose wrapped up his remarks with an emphatic endorsement, saying, “I’m 100 percent a huge Carlos supporter, and I think he’s awesome.”
Silva has been the subject of online debate over several business decisions since taking over as TNA President. However, Moose’s comments offer a glimpse into how at least one of the promotion’s top stars views the company’s leadership. Sometimes the loudest chants come from outside the ring, but Moose made it clear he’s firmly in Silva’s corner.
