Eric Young: The secret about TNA Wrestling being an unbelievable product is getting out
With TNA Wrestling enjoying a nice run of success that includes multiple sellouts for some of their monthly big events, Eric Young credits the promotion for “putting the right people in the right place.”
During a recent media appearance in Hermosa Beach, California, to promote his upcoming Vinyl Obsession series on AXS TV, I asked the former TNA World Champion about what is powering this run which includes sellouts for June’s Against All Odds, July’s Slammiversary, August’s Emergence and September’s Victory Road.
“I don’t think (the success) is something that has happened just recently. This has been going on for two or three years, maybe longer. It’s doing the right decisions and putting the right people in place and just kind of sticking to what TNA stands for. TNA is a pro wrestling show written, produced and shown to the world for pro wrestling fans in those people’s minds. We have them in mind when they are writing the show. When I’m performing or when they’re writing or I’m cutting a promo, I’m thinking about people that consume the show, and those people are pro wrestling fans.”
He said TNA has not been a secret for fans watching the show for five or six years and that now, the secret is getting out.
“It’s the real world standing up and noticing that this is an unbelievable show, an unbelievable product, littered with unbelievably talented people and the people should be watching it,” he said.
I also spoke to Young about the TNA and WWE relationship which you can read about here.
