Former WWE Producer thinks TNA can “absolutely” be the number two wrestling company in the world
During an interview with Pro Wrestling Culture, former WWE Producer D-Von Dudley was asked if TNA Wrestling could become the number two wrestling company in the world now that the brand has a television deal with AMC…
“Absolutely. I think they could be number two. And I’m not knocking—understand one thing—I’m not knocking AEW.
Tony Khan doesn’t have somebody in his face telling him no to things that aren’t good, and yes to things that are good. You know, he doesn’t have it. He has a lot of yes people in his company that tell him what he wants to hear, and you can’t do that.
You know, Vince McMahon had a lot of yes people, but he also had real people in his life to help him, like Pat Patterson—the late, great Pat Patterson. You know, if Pat didn’t like it, he would tell Vince. He had that type of relationship with him. And you know, there were other people like that too. But you still had a lot of yes people.
And as far as I’m concerned, if Tony can get the help that he needs to help run that company, create better stories, or put more emphasis on the storylines, I think it’ll be a hard fight who will be number two, either TNA or AEW.”
