Magnus Talks TNA Locker Room Being "Turbulent" Recently, Leaving TNA And Joining GFW,

Former TNA star Nick "Magnus" Aldis was interviewed by Rolling Stone. Below are some highlights:

Leaving TNA and signing with Global Force Wrestling:

"There is something I have to clear up. It's not so much that I'm leaving TNA for GFW, that's just a coincidence that I'm going there immediately. I had let TNA know that I was going to leave on June 30, and we left on good terms. We agreed to wrap things up the right way, and I loved the way that we did. Then Jeff [Jarrett] showed up on TV, and I looked at him and just said, 'What the hell?' I was backstage at the TV tapings, and little Kody [Angle] came running up to me and gave me a big hug. I didn't put two-and-two together, because I thought maybe Kurt had the kids. Then I saw Jeff's kids, and then I saw this SUV. Suddenly the window rolls down and Jeff is there. I just told him, "I don't even want to know." I had no idea he was going to show up, and I'm still not sure what is going on completely."

What the TNA locker room was like over the past few months:

"To be honest, it was very turbulent. I'm sure you're aware of the conference call that took place not too long ago. There were things said in that conference call that were a long time coming. I'm not about to throw any talent under the bus, but there were certain things that I heard in that conference call, like talent saying, "I'm disgusted by this" or, "We have a right to know." Anyone that's been involved with TNA knows that at times, I've been very outspoken. There was a point where I just sat there and thought that what everyone has to remember is that as an independent contractor in wrestling, nobody owes you a living. You don't have a right to be guaranteed a living just because you signed a contract somewhere. Most contracts, with exceptions, can just be canceled anyways. I just kind of went, "Nobody owes you a living." Every day that I get to put on a pair of tights and boots and get to feed my son, that's a good day."
