Der ehemalige mehrfache TNA X-Division und Tag Team Champion Senshi alias Low-Ki äußerte sich nun in einem Interview ziemlich negativ über die aktuelle Ausrichtung von TNA. So versuche TNA zu sehr die WWE zu sein, während man eher an das Ende der WCW erinnere. Man könnte beide Promotions nicht vergleichen, jedoch sieht er einige Parallelen zur WCW.
Im Wortlaut:
Vergleich WWE und TNA
"Well, I understood what I was getting in to before arriving there. I knew the nature of the profession and the business model of that particular company by comparison to all the other companies I had worked for previously. I’ve had many friends, many acquaintances, people that I respect and admire, work there before I did. So I had a lot of insight before arriving there, understanding how it worked and the nature of how it was run. It’s very difficult to compare them to what we consider pro wrestling because that’s not what they want to present to the public. They want to present something completely different with sprinkles of wrestling involved. Even right now, I’ve heard most recently, they’ve rebranded the company name to eliminate the term of wrestling inside of WWE, so it’s a completely different monster in itself. So it’s very difficult to compare a company like TNA…they wanted to compete with WWE so they were accentuating the wrestling. When we first began, the X-Division was what was showcased and what was drawing a lot of ratings, but then they eventually evolved into what they became today which was a lot more similar to what WCW ended up being."
Ähnlichkeit zur WCW
"It’s history repeating itself because it’s the same people in charge of WCW in charge of TNA. The same people. You have Vince Russo involved, Jeff Jarrett involved, I think Jeremy Borash was involved, Bob Ryder was involved…..it’s the exact same thing being repeated ten years later."
