Newly signed TNA Impact Wrestler Caleb Konley recently joined The Roman Show to talk about how Matt Hardy helped him sign with TNA, his appreciation of Al Snow, who he wants to wrestle in TNA, and defending his FIP title this weekend. Below are some interview highlights:
On defending his FIP title against Fred Yehi:
“He won a battle royal to get this opportunity. Fred has blown up in the past couple of years. He came out of nowhere honestly. I remember seeing him at a show in Georgia saying to myself ‘who is this guy wearing this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pajama pants?’ He has done well for himself now it’s his opportunity. I look forward to it.”
On who in TNA he would like to wrestle:
“A lot of those guys I’ve been fortunate to have wrestled in the independent scene especially the X-division guys. There are other guys I haven’t work with like Rockstar Spud who I think are doing well. I’d like to get in the ring with them and Crazzy Steve.”
On Matt Hardy helping him get signed by TNA:
“I’ve known Matt and Jeff Hardy for a while. Matt was positive of me being in TNA. He put in a good word thinking I would be a good fit. Al Snow… I spoke to him on the first day. He told me to show that I am a star. Al snow has been influential for me.”
