Magnus Interview: Career In TNA, Samoa Joe and Ring Ka King


iMPACT! Wrestling star Magnus recently did an interview for the Daily Star discussing his career in TNA, his odd pairing with Samoa Joe and working for TNA's recent project, Ring Ka King. Here are the highlights:

On his career so far in TNA

Quote

I am frustrated. I’m conscious of the dreaded ‘potential’ word. It’s a horrible thing to be labelled with. You have no idea how many times I’ve been told: ‘One day, you will be world champion,’ or: ‘You’re the future, you have so much potential!

Circumstances were difficult with the Nigel(Wolfe) thing. I know that Vince(Russo) was really disappointed that it couldn’t happen because we had such great chemistry. There were big plans. Sh*t happens.

The political side of wrestling

Quote

If someone’s a big fan of yours of course you’re going to think they’re making the right decisions. I can’t sit here and go: ‘I hate Eric B.’ I like him. It’s business. He has his opinion and it’s down to me to make it change.

I don’t think there are many people in the world who are as young as me and have the same experience as me.I might be frustrated, but I’m developing a foundation and I’ve always been a big believer in that. My career idols are Stone Cold, HHH and Jericho.I was always going to be someone who honed their craft. I believe I can find that act that will draw money.

Working with Samoa Joe

Quote

I was really pleased to be put with Joe. Who wouldn’t be? He is one of the top 10 wrestlers in the world today. I love Joe’s work. He is solid, athletic and intense. I’ve always wanted to do a serious programme with him, and I think the contrast would really work.

His experience working with Ring Ka King

Quote

It feels very special to be in on the ground floor and to be in such a good spot. Jeff Jarrett and the team behind it have faith in me as a top guy, and I have delivered.

WWE Officials Discuss Cole's Commentary
Posted by Steve Carrier on 12/28/2011 at 04:53 PM

WWE officials held a meeting last week after the RAW ratings came in where Michael Cole's commentary was discussed.

TV ratings patterns show fans have little interest in seeing anyone on TV besides the top Superstars. Consideration was given to maybe that's because of Cole burying the talents for the past year.

The following is from WWE.com:

WWE physician Dr. Chris Amann has confirmed that Alberto Del Rio suffered a groin tear during the tag team main event of the Dec. 19 edition of Raw SuperShow.

"We were able to look at an MRI, and it appears as though he has a groin injury that’s severe enough to require surgery," Dr. Amann told WWE.com. "Fortunately for Alberto, the surgery is minimally invasive and the recovery time is usually four to six weeks."

Check back with WWE.com and tune in to Monday Night Raw SuperShow at 9/8 CT on USA Network for the latest updates on Del Rio’s condition.
