Mike Santana surfaced as a recent visitor on the acclaimed “Busted Open Radio” podcast, where he conversed about a myriad of subjects, notably his parting with AEW.
Santana, once a key player in LAX, confessed that his experience working under Tony Khan’s company felt akin to being on a “hamster wheel”.
A few key takeaways from the insightful podcast are outlined below:
Talking about his departure from AEW:
“It seemed as if we were on a never-ending cycle, repeating the same actions; the same actions since our early days in the company. Sure, it was exciting, you know, we had a reasonably good position, but we kept wondering, what’s next?… Our careers have a set expiration date. It’s incumbent upon us to exploit these years to the fullest.”
Discussing his TNA Immersed documentary:
“This documentary serves as a revelation of why I’m so deeply invested in this profession and why I pour everything into it.”
Discussing his struggle with addiction for the sake of his daughter:
“On her Christmas List to Santa, among the few requests, one was that she wished for Daddy to quit his bad habits. That was a turning point for me.”
