Zema Ion recently spoke with
Live Audio Wrestling On his time in TNA, New
wrestlers in the X-division and more.
On TNA bringing
In New X Division Wrestlers:"I think the X Division has needed some
fresh new talent for a while, and it seems like they got a lot of guys coming in
and getting opportunities. It's great for all of them and it's great for the
fans too because they're the real winners at the end of the day. The X Division
is a very exciting, innovative, fast paced style of wrestling. To be able to
bring in some fresh faces who are hungry and willing to put it all on the line
for an opportunity on live television - I think that's a great thing, and
hopefully there will be more X Division stuff in the future."
On Jesse Sorensen, his injury and future
match"Destination X was the first time he and I have crossed paths
since that night in February. I think Sorensen is aiming to come back, and
obviously I see the opportunity for a big feud there. I would love the
opportunity and I'm sure he would too. I give him credit for recovering at the
pace that he's recovering right now. It's crazy to see him walking to the ring,
you know. It seems like he's going to make a 100% full recovery. That was a
freak thing. I wasn't going to dwell on it. I continued doing the moonsault
after that just to show that it's not that I can't do this move, because I've
done this move a hundred million times. I continue to do it today to prove that
point; I'm not gun-shy or afraid to do so."
On some of
the wrestlers he would like to see brought into the X
Division:"There's so much talent out there. There's a guy in AAA
right now named Fenix, who I think is just phenomenal. I worked with him in
Mexico and he's probably one of the best high flyers in the world and criminally
underrated, so I think he's somebody who definitely deserves an opportunity.
There's a South African wrestler named Angelico, who I think could really make
some waves in the X Division if given the opportunity. So those guys immediately
come to mind. As far as the United States goes, there are so many guys like
Ricochet and Samurai Del Sol. I think they would be real assets to the X
Division."
On the positive reception to the TNA product
in recent months:"It motivates us even more to want to go out there
and steal the show and tear the house down, knowing that there's positive
feedback and people are enjoying what they're seeing. It just makes us want to
work harder to keep the momentum going. The morale is high, everybody is excited
and the opportunities are endless right now.
