NWA Superstar Trevor Murdoch was recently interviewed by Metro and commented on the time that a disagreement between himself and Taz led to Murdoch not being signed by TNA (Impact Wrestling) several years ago, and more. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On the incident that led to his departure: “I’m pretty sure the reason why TNA stopped using me at the time was I didn’t have a deal and I was wrestling Rhino. Taz had just come in as a producer, it was his first few matches as producer. We’re putting our match together and Taz asks me, ‘Trevor, what’s your finishing move’ I go, ‘Well I do a top-rope bulldog’. He goes, ‘Oh wow! That’s very impressive for a guy your size!’ F**k yeah it is, that’s why I used it as a finisher!

“He goes, ‘Well, this match tonight, can you hit Rhino with your finisher, cover, he kicks out at two. Then pick him up, shoot him off, ducks your clothesline and gores you, one-two-three’. I’m pretty stubborn and I was like, ‘Taz, if there’s anything else you want off the top rope – I’ll do a beautiful high crossbody, sh*t, whatever you want me to do’. But I don’t have a contract here. I said, ‘Legitimately, that’s one of two moves that when people see me they go, he might do this! And I don’t wanna throw that away, nor do I wanna waste it.’ ”

On being called out by Terry Taylor after: “Taz is in there with Terry, and I proceed to get my ass chewed by Terry Taylor because I’m not a company guy and I’m being difficult. I just – I dunno, WWE let me go so there really wasn’t much anybody business-wise could scare me or intimidate me with. I just laid it out, I said, ‘Terry, I’m not trying to be rude or disrespectful by any means! But I’ve been here for the last seven weeks and you guys haven’t given me a deal. The only thing that I’ve got is my bulldog, and I don’t see why that’s a big deal for me not to do that’. I said, ‘I told him that I’d do anything else you wanted, but that’. They proceeded to sh*t on me and tell me I wasn’t a team player. I had a few choice words – one of them was ‘kiss my ass’ – and I walked out the door. I went and had the match with Rhino, we did great business, never got a phone call again from them.’”

On NWA being a good fit for him: “There’s nobody pulling me back. Nobody’s saying, ‘Don’t do this, don’t do that’. As a matter of fact, they’re encouraging me to pish the boundaries a little bit, ‘Be you!’ I’ll be honest with you, I’m so in love with the business right now. NWA is what wrestling should be. You can sit down with your friends, your family, kids, everybody. They may not have watched one episode of NWA, but they can sit down and watch an episode as a family and everybody knows what’s going on.”
