Josh Alexander Comments on His Goal to Regain TNA World Title If He Stays & Signs New Deal with TNA Wrestling

As noted before, Josh Alexander’s contract with TNA Wrestling is currently set to expire on February 14th and he is expected to enter free agency.

Pro Wrestling Wire held a recent interview with Alexander. One of the topics discussed included Alexander’s thoughts about his goals for his wrestling career if he were to sign a new deal to remain in TNA.

“It’d be the same thing that it was when I came back from my tricep tear, just to regain the TNA World Championship and finish that historic reign I was on because it didn’t end the way I wanted it to. I had to give it up, I had to relinquish the title because I tore my tricep and that was not the way I wanted that reign to end. I don’t think it’s the way anybody wanted it to end. I just never got it back in that year and a half after coming back from injury and it’s something that is certainly disappointing but the wrestling business is the wrestling business, it ain’t just about me, there’s a ton of moving parts and there’s a ton of people in that company that are so over and so talented and deserve that championship along the way. It didn’t end the way I wanted it to, so that’s something that will eat away at me.”
