Santino Marella On TNA: Once We Get That TV Deal, We’re Number Two. I Know Tony Khan Has Lots Of Money, But The Fans Speak
Santino Marella says that TNA is coming for the silver crown.
TNA Wrestling is expected to land a television deal in the near future, a move that will almost certainly make the product more accessible to fans around the world.
Speaking with Lucha Libre Online for a new interview, Marella spoke on the current status of TNA, saying that the promotion will be number two when they land a television deal.
“The people from TNA in the past are happy for us. Obviously, the current locker room is ecstatic about the growth. When I came here, it was not like this, I know sometimes we were in Nashville or even Toronto, we had 350 or 500 people. But we believed in ourselves. Now we have the audience size that feels right and we deliver every time. Every time we’ve had a sold out crowd, we’ve never not had a good show. We’ve never wasted an opportunity. Bound For Glory is going to be another one, we’re going to capitalize on that audience, we’re going to send the message out to the wrestling world, we’re here. We’re knocking on the door. You better look out because once we get that TV deal, we’re number two man. I know Tony Khan has lots of money, I get it, but the fans speak. The fans dictate who’s number one, number two, number three, not your bank account. Of course WWE is number one, they’re so far ahead that we’ll never catch it in my lifetime. Number two is attainable, number two is something we can really do. If we accomplish that, that’s humongous.”
