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.
