Here are some of the highlights from the interview provided by The Mayhem’s co-host, The Big Mosh.
*Lance was welcomed by Mosh & Blade for his third-ever Mayhem appearance. Right off the bat, and on a general perspective, Mosh asked Lance if the negative publicity that the wrestling business has received (on different angles) has been given over the past three weeks has bothered him personally. “It eats to the root & core for everyone in the business to a certain degree. It has taken its toll on each & every person in the wrestling business.”
*One of TNA’s original stars, Konnan, has done some recent radio & television interviews shooting on the professional wresting industry, but mainly Total Nonstop Action Wrestling — making some pretty inflammatory statements about the company, some of its talent, & the hierarchy of the organization. After reading Konnan’s comments from an interview last Sunday night. To Lance, Konnan has always been “a big supporter of his.” There were times in his stay within the company he was featured prominently, and there were times he was sitting at home for a few months. At one point in time or another, everyone gets frustrated — whether you are the champion of your respective company or not. Lance went on by adding that his relationship with Konnan was not an extremely close one (more of a professional business one, as they did not hang outside of the tapings & events), but he was always appreciative of the feedback Konnan gave him — as well as taking him to AAA in Mexico. “Each person has to make a choice,” Lance added about Konnan’s decision to go on a national stage to voice his concerns & issues on the company. Hoyt does not know what Konnan was dealing with on a business level, but Lance’s communication with TNA on his end has always been good. He sincerely hopes that Konnan has success where he goes from here: whether it be back to AAA, to the WWE, or back to TNA down the road — in addition to Konnan making a speedy recovery from his hip replacement.
*As a parting shot to the wrestling fans around the world that might be on the fence about continuing to watch/follow the product after what has happened collectively over the past month, Lance’s statement/words of advice to those individuals is very clear: “Stay in there….Don’t stop watching. Don’t give up. There is a lot of good people within the business, which will continue to grow. It’s going to get better. It’s going to be best for the fans”
*Plenty of discussion is contained in the rest of this interview, including Lance’s takes & thoughts on TNA’s Bound For Glory heading to Chicago, the company debuting in other markets, the rumors of negotiations of another possible network for TNA, his match vs. Abyss from this past week’s Impact (and whether or not Abyss “speaking for the first time” will “kill” his mystique & persona), as well as Lance’s recent decision to choose “ho’s before bro’s,” as the expression goes (choosing Christy Hemme & leaving VKM).
