VIDEO: Ace Austin explains why he re-signed with TNA Wrestling

Former three-time X-Division Champion and two-time TNA Tag Team Champion Ace Austin has re-signed with TNA Wrestling — officially announced by the company Thursday morning.

The 27-year-old revealed the news during our recent interview (available now on YouTube above), explaining that the freedom TNA allows him to pursue other ventures and work with other companies impacted his decision to re-sign. 

He also said he has “unfinished” business: that being the TNA World Championship.

“I am definitely looking to stay with TNA because being with TNA allows you freedom that doesn’t exist anywhere else. If I stay with TNA, my options are still open in the whole world. There is no working relationship that TNA is not open to having and I love that. That has been one of the huge selling points for me since I first started was the freedom,” he said, “I am actively working on being a part of some acting and stunt projects this year. It’s a realm that I really want to get a taste of. The only place I can really do that effectively is TNA.”

“Not even just that, it’s unfinished business. I am a three-time X-Division champion, two-time Tag Team champion. There’s still one missing and it means a lot to me to complete that collection. When there is still opportunity on the table, you have to reach the peak before you can look towards the next peak, and I am still climbing.”
