Mance Warner joined TNA at TNA iMPACT! live on January 23rd, aligning with his girlfriend Steph De Lander to take out Sami Callihan.
Warner lost the GCW World Title to Effy at The People vs. GCW, but now has ownership of the TNA Digital Media Championship along with Steph.
Speaking to Sam Roberts on Not Sam Wrestling before The People vs. GCW, Mance was asked about the new TNA-WWE relationship.
"I've done everything, in my opinion, on the indies that I can do. I've conquered GCW. I've beat everyone there is to beat on the indies. It's about goals. My next goal is, who the hell do I want to fight? You have to level up. Do I want to fight people at TNA? You have the Hardy Boys. Mancer against Jeff and Matt. Mancer against Joe Hendry. Mancer against Nic Nemeth. You have people at WWE. Mancer and CM Punk. You give me a fucking mic and we can just talk. Kevin Owens. Me and him. Beat the shit out of each other. There are people out there that I want to test myself against. TNA and WWE. I just want to fuck people up and get paid. I want to get paid to fight people, hurt people, hit the pay window. That's the dream of America. Pay me to hurt people. I do fighting. I fight," he stated.
Asked about Joe Hendry specifically, Mance said, "I know that motherfucker can sing, but if I get in there and hit him with some taters, what's he going to do? I want to see that. I know the Hardy Boys can do everything, but I want to throw them off a ladder. I just want to hurt these people. It makes me feel good."
Hendry is the reigning TNA World Champion.
