James Storm has an interview with Brian Fritz of the Sporting News discussing his Slammiversary, Beer Money and many other topics
On why the DCC didn't work:
“There's a lot of reasons (it didn’t work),” Storm said, “but the No. 1 reason that I want to stay is because it wasn't done the way that I had pitched it and wanted it to be.”
Storm says he wanted the faction with himself, Eddie Kingston and Bram to factor into the Ethan Carter feud:
“I had this planned out for this past Slammiversary,” Storm said. “We have our match and then EC3 comes in and tries to screw me by hitting me with a beer bottle. One, two, and I kick out. Then Bram and Kingston come down, beat up EC3 a little bit and they fight out and the fourth member comes out, takes off the mask and it's Jarrett and he hits Lashley with the guitar and then I pin Lashley.”
On Impact going on the road being a good thing for the product:
“It's really hard to judge who's over and who's not,” Storm said. “I think with us getting back on the road, it will show management we need to push this guy because he's really over or we should do something with this guy. It also helps younger talent learn how to work. Not just go out and do all these moves but to learn to work.”
On his time with NXT, he said the following:
“With the schedule of NXT and he was telling me we're going to try and run 100-120 shows from here on out throughout the year and stuff,” Storm said. “It's all great and everything but where I was, personally, in my life, I couldn't be on the road that much because I had some family problems, my wife wanted to have another kid. So, it was one of those things where it wasn't the right timing for me.
“Hunter straight up told me, 'Go get your life together. This is my number. Maybe in two years, we can do business again.'”
On rumors of possibly going into the Impact Wrestling Hall of Fame:
“I have no idea how that was even brought up,” Storm said. “I think the Hall of Fame is meant for people who are pretty much done wrestling. Not even winding down their career, those who are pretty much done. I'm not done by any means. I've gotten in the best shape I've ever been in. I feel great because of the schedule that Impact has been running and I could go another five, six years at least. I don't want to overstay my welcome. I'm just saying I've got good runs left in me.”
They state in the article that he will be back on television in late August.
