Alex Hammerstone is feeling a certain type of way about TNA Wrestling after departing the company earlier this year.
Major League Wrestling‘s Alex Hammerstone recently sat down with Zack Heydorn of Sports Illustrated. While discussing his decision to sign with TNA Wrestling in 2024, Hammerstone said that they seemed like the best offer at the time.
“There’s been subtle discussions at every point with every company at the time last year,” Alex Hammerstone said. “When I was in free agency like that, that TNA deal seemed like the best — the best offer for me at the time.
“I understand that sometimes people get lost in shuffle, but with the size of the TNA product at the time, I thought that was a good opportunity to stand out. I was very happy with the match they gave me Hard to Kill. So, that just seemed like the most logical choice at the time.”
Alex Hammerstone believes perception is reality
Despite a hot start with the company, his push eventually disappeared, and Hammerstone believes the company simply stopped caring about him.
“At a certain point, perception is reality,” Alex Hammerstone said. “So I’m sitting there, and from my perception, I felt like the company stopped caring about me, and maybe I needed to do something in a different way. Maybe they were looking for something that I wasn’t giving them. But also, that was never a conversation that was had.
“I’d be very happy to be sat down and told, ‘hey, creatively, this is what we want to do. So we need to see more of this out of you.’ And I never got that. It was just like, hey, where are we going creatively? And a lot of times it’s like, well, you know what you’re doing with this guy. You know what you’re doing this that guy, so why don’t you know what you’re doing with me?”
