Mike Santana Is Coming For The Top Spot In TNA
Outside of promoting his own show, Mike Santana wants to be the top star of TNA.
WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard recently spoke with Santana about his future plans with the company. He revealed that he wants to grow as a performer and become a top star in TNA as a singles star.
“I think, honestly, it’s to continue growing as a performer, getting into my groove, and that all comes to more you work, right? The more you do something, the better you get at it. There’s so much talent in TNA right now, so getting in there with all those guys and being able to mix it up. Also, I always try to take something away from every match that I’m in. So, there’s a lot of talent, there’s a lot of options,” Santana explained.
“And of course, like I said in my promo after the match [at TNA Rebellion], I’m coming for the top spot. Anything that I do, in my life in general, I do it to the best of my ability. I’m aiming for the absolute most success I can. I didn’t take this leap of faith and bet on myself just to coast by,” he pointed out. “The same way that I did with the tag team, we worked our asses off. We became one of the top tag teams in the world. I plan to do the same thing on my own. And thankfully, I’m still young. I’m still hungry. I still love this. You have to love it to do it. I’m hungrier than ever. Honestly, I’m ready to go. And whoever wants to step up, step up. Let’s get it.”
