James Storm says he was fined “so many times” during the Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff era of TNA Wrestling

While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, “Cowboy” James Storm talked about getting in trouble during the Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff era of TNA Wrestling…

“I remember I got in trouble. I got fined. Of course, I got fined so many times, just because I did a promo where I was saying, ‘The days of someone coming out here and talking for 30 minutes and taking up time for the younger generation is over. These people are paying to see the people that have brought this company to the forefront’ and all this.

I remember Bischoff calling me. He’s like, ‘Why would you say that?’ Blah, blah, blah. I’m like, ‘Well, you asked me to speak from the heart, this is what I believe. This is what all of us kind of built this company on, is priding ourselves going out there and working.’ Then when I start seeing Hogan not really plugging TNA, when he would do these talk shows and everything, he would talk about everything else, except for TNA wrestling, it’s like, that’s what they’re paying you all this money for? So that’s when I was just like, all right, this is not good.” (quote courtesy of ChrisVanVliet.com)
