Why Moose Chose TNA Over WWE or AEW

Moose (@themoosenation) is a professional wrestler and the current TNA World Champion. He sits down with Chris Van Vliet in Las Vegas to talk about the return of TNA Wrestling, beating Alex Shelley for the TNA World Championship at Hard To Kill, why he choose to sign the longest contract in TNA history instead of going to WWE or AEW, his friendship with Scott D'Amore, how he came up with the flipping Spear as his finisher, what he learned from his 7-year career in the NFL, wanting to open up the Forbidden Door and have a match with Roman Reigns, who he puts on his TNA Mount Rushmore and much more.
