Former TNA star “Wildcat” Chris Harris, who worked briefly for WWE as Braden Walker, recently spoke with Karl Anderson on an episode of MLW Radio’s “Talk’n Shop” Podcast, and spoke on his time in both TNA and WWE.
Harris talked about TNA’s early years, as he was present for the company’s first PPV event back in 2002:
“It was pretty crazy,” Harris recalled. “By the end of the night, we knew that we had done something great. But yeah, there was so much sh-t that went wrong, brother. It was scary… It felt okay to me because I was focused on my match.”
With regards to his brief time in WWE, Harris talked about the different backstage environments in TNA vs WWE, and Anderson recalled visiting Matt Bloom (aka Tensai) backstage at a WWE event. Anderson noted while he was talking with Bloom, in a short period of time four different agents came up to him and changed the plan for his match that night. This prompted Harris to say the following:
“Brother, brother, brother. Oh my God! That is the worst-run billion dollar company you could ever imagine… I absolutely f—king hated that place.”
