Joe Alonzo explains his decision.
Former NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion Joe Alonzo announced that he was a free agent on July 1, as he had left the National Wrestling Alliance. Alonzo had been with the NWA since 2022.
Speaking with MuscleManMalcolm, Joe Alonzo was asked to discuss what led to his decision to leave NWA.
“I was told, ‘Hey, you got a lot of people watching how you’re gonna handle this, so make sure you carry yourself as a professional.’ So it’s been kind of on my mind that I knew signing with the NWA, when I started, that NWA is not the end all, be all, and I don’t want to make anyone upset, but it is a stepping stone to get to bigger and better places. So when I signed with NWA, I knew that it was always gonna be short-lived, and they asked me to stay. What they were offering wasn’t what I was looking for. I asked if they could do better, and they offered me something else, but it was a little too long. I think the one thing that has been said repeatedly over the past couple of weeks into this decision was that the one thing that money can’t ever buy is time, and nobody is guaranteed time, so I just think this is the best decision for me. A lot of people said it was a bad decision, but I think it was a great decision, and when you bet on yourself, you can never go wrong, and there’s nobody to blame but yourself if things don’t go your way," Alonzo said.
During the interview, Joe Alonzo warned Zilla Fatu that his mouth is reckless. Check out his comments here.
