Road Warrior Animal says he is keen on a return to the WWE or TNA.
The legendary tag team wrestler told the NY Daily News: “I’d love to work for the WWE or TNA behind-the-scenes, not only to train the young talent but how to relate to the fans, which is so important.”
Animal is part of Saturday’s RingsideFest convention in New York along with Terry Funk, who was interviewed by About.com to promote the appearance.
Funk talked about a range of subjects, including TNA, whom he was quite critical of.
“They are kind of looked at as the graveyard, you know. I mentioned that to some people and I don’t want to keep on calling them the graveyard because I really don’t want to tag that to them. But it is. It is kind of like the WWE’s graveyard. And, I’m not talking about the guys. They’re old, they’re this or they’re that or can’t get the job done.
“They can but it has got a definite pattern to it. It’s where somebody goes ahead and leaves the WWE and they wind up down there. Boom, just that quick. I think that they need to develop their own talent along with that. Does that make sense to you?”
Funk continued: “I’m not knocking the talent that they’ve got, they’ve got great talent. But it’s got a constant repetition that is like over, and over, and over. I’m not saying that those guys can’t get the job done, because they can. But they need to work on developing their own talent and their own individuals also. Spend more time on that.”
