Recent TNA departure Sam Shaw appeared on the Two Man Power Trip
of Wrestling podcast, and spoke about the details surrounding
his release. You can check out the highlights below, or listen
to the full podcast at this link.
His TNA release:
"I wasn't too surprised to be perfectly honest. I had sort have
been on the shelf not really doing anything for quite some time
and I was extremely ready to get back on TV, just busting my ass
in the gym and being a student of the game and pitching ideas
like crazy. Just doing everything I could to get in front of the
right people and get back on TV. Things just didn't pan out the
way that I thought they might, I'm not heartbroken over it
whatsoever, I'm excited about the future and I think that there
are a lot of great opportunities out there right now for someone
like myself."
How he was notified of his release:
"I got a call from John Gaburick or "Big" as everyone calls him
and we had a nice conversation and he was responsible for
getting this character for me off the ground and he had a lot of
faith in me to run with a character like that and I give him a
lot of credit for that. We had a nice conversation, he just told
me that in all honesty that "we have two hours of TV a week and
we have so much talent on the roster" and said he felt bad just
keeping me off TV and wanted to give me the freedom to get out
there and use my talents and I think that was a very nice thing
of him to do."
TNA's storylines ending abruptly:
"I just feel like TNA in a sense has an identity crisis. Since I
signed there in 2012 and not to mention that I've been doing
stuff with them since 2008 because I trained at Bubba and
D-Von's School in Kissimmee, Florida and that is basically in
TNA's backyard with Universal Studios and The Impact Zone. I've
seen the place change so much and it seems like they have a lot
of momentum going into a new regime change and then it just sort
of fizzles out and they not so much drop the ball but they
really know how to start something that looks like it has
longevity and is going to be great and it just seems like they
don't know where to go from that point. They get to a high point
and it just fizzles out."
