On the TNA Hall of Fame:
"In all honesty, I don’t think any of
the people that you’re going to see that are still wrestling in an
Impact ring will be in the hall of fame for a while. I guess that’s one
of the drawbacks for having a hall of fame for a company that’s only 10
years old. How do you celebrate the accomplishments of a wrestler if
he’s still having accomplishments in the wrestling ring? That goes for
myself, Bobby Roode, James Storm, A.J. Styles and guys that you could
conceivably argue deserve to be in the hall of fame that TNA has. If
we’re all still accomplishing stuff in the ring, how do you induct us
right now? I guarantee that I’m going to be in that hall of fame. I just
think it’s good to be after I’m done being the new face of Impact
Wrestling and winning all of my matches."
On who will be the first person inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame:
"Maybe
Jeff Jarrett, but at the same time, Jeff is still competing in the
ring. He’s not competing currently for Impact, but he’s still wrestling.
He’s doing a lot with AAA right now; he’s still a viable competitor. I
believe that the first person that’s going to be inducted into the hall
of fame is going to be someone that played more of a role behind the
scenes and who helped create TNA. I’m not sure who it’s going to be, but
If I were a betting man, I would have to say it’s probably going to be
someone who had a lot to do with creating TNA, someone who got it off
the ground in that first year. But I mean this is all speculation. The
truth of the matter is, I didn’t know about the TNA Hall of Fame until I
heard the announcement last Thursday night, so this is all just wild
speculation on my part."
