Leon Slater looks back on his first loop with TNA.
Slater signed for the company back in 2023, and has slowly but surely become one of the companies future stars. Most recently, Slater was able to capture the TNA X-Division Championship, dethroning Moose at TNA Slammiversary.
While speaking on the latest SWN podcast, Leon Slater was asked about how welcoming TNA has been to talent from the UK, with Slater recalling his first loop with the company.
“I remember on my first loop, I think I was maybe 19 or 18. So I was like a teenager coming into one of the biggest companies in the world for the first time where I’d only really met two or three people before. By the second day, I felt like I’d known everyone for10 years. That’s really just the type of locker room that we have in TNA. So not only do I think…we do a good job of nurturing talent. I think we do a really good job, perhaps even a better job of welcoming talent, especially people coming from the UK.”
Elsewhere in another recent interview, Slater spoke about how long conversations have been happening surrounding him winning the X-Division Championship. You can read more about that here.
