Mike Bennett recently did a Reddit AMA regarding his TNA Wrestling debut, “The Miracle” gimmick and more. Here are some highlights:

On whether his “Miracle” character is an homage to Chris Jericho’s WWE debut: “yes absolutely. as a matter of fact it was my biggest inspiration. I’m a huge wrestling historian, and all the greats have learned and taken from people who have come before them. ive always lived by: “to be the best, you have to learn from the best.”

On why he chose the outfit worn for his TNA debut: “ive been asked a lot about this. the short answer is, it got people talking. anyone can dress average. wheres the fun in that.”

On how hard it was to leave ROH: “it was one of the most difficult decisions of my life. when u work for a company for 6 years it becomes home and the guys/girls become family. plus leaving cole and taven who are literally my closest friends, was extremely tough. but from a career standpoint, I knew it had to be done.”

On why he went to TNA when talent has been leaving lately: “because I wanted to be what turns tna around. they offered me a great deal, and wanted to give me the ball. and I was up for the challenge.”

On his reaction at the end of the Philly Street Fight in Ring of Honor: “I told myself I wasn’t going to cry, and then as I laid there, and I heard the fans, and todd Sinclair came over and told me he loved me and how proud of me he was, I just lost it. roh was my family, they all came to my wedding, and I was leaving my family for the last 6years. then the philly crowd was just unbelievable. I debuted in that very building, and every fan that night told me to quit. then fast forward to my last night and they chanted thank you and please don’t go. philly made it one of the greatest nights of my life.”

On if TNA and Ring of Honor could ever have a working relationship: “I hope it can start to bridge a gap. I think it would be the best for pro wrestling. the matches would be awesome. its def. one of my goals is to get the two companies working together. because I know the talent and TNA are all for it.”

On comparisons between the TNA and ROH locker rooms: “as far as the wrestlers go, its extremely similar. just a group of talented guys who bust there ass. as far as other things, the main difference I noticed was the production value in tna compared to roh, and the mass amounts of people working on cameras and production. the roh editors and camera men are some of the best in the business, but they are over worked and need help.”
