Quinton "Rampage" Jackson reflects on his short-lived wrestling career.
In 2013, Quinton Jackson joined TNA Wrestling and was part of the Main Event Mafia stable. Jackson made his name in MMA, winning the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship and putting the likes of Chuck Liddell and Ricardo Arona on highlight reels with knockouts and slams.
Speaking on his Jaxxon Podcast, "Rampage" looked back on his run with TNA.
"I signed with TNA. I did a deal with Paramount Pictures and I went over to Bellator. They did a whole big deal for me. One part of the deal, I was going to be a pro wrestler. My dream come true. They never trained me. I went there, I was working with a couple of guys. They had us as the Main Event Mafia, but they never trained me. I never got a chance to do much. It was short-lived. I was working with Sting and a couple of other guys. Samoa Joe. I was very disappointed that TNA didn't ever put the time in to train me or to really use me. They let me get hit upside the head with a hammer from Tito Ortiz. I was so mad at that. Let me kick Tito's ass.
"Being there and seeing what they go through, as a MMA fighter, I was like, 'I don't think I have it to do what you guys do.'"
"Rampage" had one match in TNA Wrestling.
Jackson will be part of Bloodsport Bushido on June 22.
