IMPACT Wrestling Champion Moose recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet. The former NFL player discussed several topics during the interview, including the reveal that WWE offered him a position on the Tough Enough show.
‘I remember doing the tryout, and they were like, ’˜Hey, we really like you, but all we can offer you is a shot on ’˜Tough Enough’” Moose began.
“For me, I was in the position where Moose was going to be a household name. I didn’t want to stop everything and start fresh” the IMPACT Champion recalled.
“I was set to sign back with Ring of Honor, and I got hit up by IMPACT. They [IMPACT] told me they would pay me 4 or 5 times more what I was going to be offered for my 3rd contract” Moose continued.
“To me, I looked at Ring of Honor, no disrespect, as a big name indie. I saw TNA as an actual wrestling company because of all the history they had” the new IMPACT Champion concluded. “This was my chance to go and play with the big boys, so I joined TNA, which is now IMPACT Wrestling.’
