On the recent episode of Konnan’s “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, Scott D’Amore debunked the rumors that he tried to buy TNA Wrestling and consequently, was fired from his role as President.
D’Amore elaborated that he did indeed attempt to acquire TNA, however, this was only after he was released from the company. He pointed out,
“It’s public record, I tried to buy the company, right? To set the record straight — for those that say I tried to buy it and then I got let go, I mean, I had got let go and then I tried to buy it which was the more logical series of events. So it’s like, look, I think I know where I want this thing to go and I know where we can take it and I’m willing to put my money and others money where my mouth is and say, ‘Hey, let us acquire it and see what we can do with it.’ Ultimately, that was turned down so they continued to do their thing. Once the bitterness, the hurt feelings, and the anger subsides, just sit there and go, ‘Okay, what’s next?’”
