Yeah he didnt bad mouth either company and rightly so in my opinion, its no secret TNA has never had the best booking and overall wrestling mindset at times but there intentions were always good towards him and was more often that put in the position of being the top star within the company and in doing so put himself on the map and that part of his career shouldnt be ignored, you could also tell throughout the interview just by the way he was talking that he is clearly motivated to be there with a point to prove.

He's a class act.It showed how intelligent he is and his enthusiasm for the business is still there.Vince must realise what a tremendous talent he has right in front of him.

Man I've missed so much wrestling, didn't know Ambrose won the belt. Good for him and credit to wwe for being brave and making the change, look forward to that shield triple threat!!

It will be great to have bryan back on this capacity I wouldnt have expected to see him return in a role so soon if it should be a one off and pairing him with ranallo is the perfect choice, this tournament should prove have some top quality matches from the first bout till the finale.

Sounds great and you're right,it will be great to see Daniel Bryan again.I had to laugh though when it mentioned Triple H about scouring the globe for cruiserweights.He hates smaller wrestlers.This is the guy that said he didn't want to put Kurt Angle over because he thought he was too small to be the world champion.

I do wonder what will come of the tournament should it really lift off as a success I guess we shall have to see, would be intriguing to see perhaps if some of them could earn contracts in NXT, the likes of swann and sabre jr will really shine amongst this kind of environment.

i think the triple threat match at battleground is the prefect place for reigns to turn heel and screw ambrose.

That route would be best suited for him right now, all depends on how much longer stubborn vince will be on wanting to get him over as a babyface.

I always thought the whole "small guys can't be big champions" ethos (which mainly comes from Vince) was hypocrisy. I realise they took it about Bret, but HBK is hardly a colossus himself. Nor Flair.

I agree but Triple H is just as bad.He also had it so the high flyers like Mysterio were not allowed to go all out so they couldn't upstage him.When Triple H said that about Angle,Gerald Briscoe turned to Triple H and said "What do you think would happen if you and Kurt fought for real?.".Size queen Triple H then sat down,shut his mouth and looked at the floor.
