Moose Admits TNA Roster Was Upset Over Four-Week Break After Bound for Glory

TNA has been on a hiatus from their weekly TV show following Bound for Glory and now Moose has asked fans to be patient and trust the process.

While speaking to WrestleZone, Moose was asked about TNA taking a break after Bound for Glory and what he thought about it. Moose admitted no one on the TNA roster liked that decision, especially Mike Santana who won the TNA World Title at Bound for Glory.

Moose admits he feels bad for Mike Santana, who hasn’t been able to fully ride the momentum of winning the title in front of one of the biggest crowds in company history. Moose believes Santana deserved the chance to follow up immediately, but he also understands why the company made the decision to take time off.

“Yeah, I mean, nobody on the roster liked that — especially our new World Champion, Mike Santana. He just won the title and essentially brought it back home — first-time world champion, did it in front of the biggest crowd TNA has had, I think, in the history of the company — and then we take four weeks off. So I feel most sad for him because, in my opinion, that’s not the way that should happen.

But at the same time, I trust Carlos. I trust the team. I understand what the reasons why they did it. I’m on board, but at the same time, I feel bad for guys like Santana and other guys on our roster who love the fire that we got going on.”

Moose said he trusts Carlos Silva and the leadership team. He believes the people running TNA have proven they know what they’re doing, and the excitement will return once the tapings start in Orlando. He simply urged everyone to just trust the process.

For Moose, it also feels special because he began his TNA career in Orlando in 2016, and coming back feels like returning home.

“At the end of the day, we all just have to be patient — because the team, and Carlos as the head of the team, knows exactly what he’s doing. Hey, look, he’s brought us this far. As hot as we are, he’s a big part of it. We just have to trust the process. And I’m sure everybody’s going to be excited to go to Orlando.

I know I am, because when I started with TNA — we were actually called TNA when I started, back in 2016 — we were in Orlando. It’s always great coming back home, and I’m looking forward to it.”

When asked about the reason behind the four-week break, Moose said he didn’t want to say too much and get himself in trouble. He said Silva would be the best person to explain the full reasoning. However, Moose did share that the decision made sense and that fans just need to be patient and trust Carlos Silva and the team.

“The only thing I can tell you is it makes sense — and you just have to trust Carlos and trust the team. It’s all going to be okay. We’re going to go into Orlando and it’s going to be hot. I’m sure fans miss us, so it’s going to make the show even better.”

TNA will be going live on November 13, which will be its first live show since Bound For Glory on October 12 and subsequent TV tapings in Orlando will be held from November 13–15.

The break might have slowed the momentum, but Moose’s comments show that the TNA roster is still confident and working together. If the shows in Orlando are as strong as he expects, the time off could actually help the company instead of hurt it. So we’ll have to see what happens when TNA returns to their regular programming next week.
