Christian was recently interviewed by “Talksport”. During the interview, the topic of AEW arose. Christian revealed that if he could give wrestlers who were considering the promotion advice, he’d tell them go for it. He went on to discuss why he left the WWE for TNA and how it brought him to a new level. Here are the highlights:

On Why He Went To TNA:

I did go to TNA when I left WWE briefly in 2005 for three years. When I went there, it was solely to prove to myself, even if it was on a smaller platform that I could carry main event matches, programmes and promos and be the face of a show. I needed to do that. I needed to gain that confidence and go back and be able to do it. It happens for different people at different times, you just have to be confident in your ability.

I always said to myself when I walked into the arena ‘today they’re going to know how good I am’ and that was the attitude I carried with me every single time and just felt like at the end, you can’t hold talent down. If you have it, eventually it’s going to shine through and you just have to keep pushing.

On What He’d Tell Current WWE Talent That Is Considering AEW:

I would say… I would never want to steer anyone in a certain direction. If they asked me for certain advice I would tell them. I would put it on myself. What I needed to do was I needed to take a chance on myself.

I needed to bet on myself. And if you’re willing to bet on yourself then sometimes it works out and if you believe in yourself and your abilities that will be the case.
