“If the money is right and the deal is right I would sign tomorrow night. Currently, the deal that I have with TNA goes through December 31st, and January 1st I am open in the wild,” Francis said.
“I am 100 per cent down with the possibility of re-signing with TNA. It’s just gotta make sense, it’s got to be worth what I know I’m worth. Some people get bogged down by a lot of different things when it comes to contract negotiations, mine is very simple. Do I believe you are going to push me the way I deserve to be pushed and how much money am I going to make? That’s very simple.”
AJ Francis On His Time In TNA
Francis went on to discuss how he has had a lot of opportunities in TNA. He noted that he loved his time there.
“TNA has done a very good job of giving me a lot of opportunities over the past year,” he said. “Do I respect the fact that TNA has done a lot for me over the past year? Absolutely. And I’ve loved my time at TNA. I’ve loved the fact that Tommy Dreamer believed in me – now everybody’s like ‘Wow, AJ’s so talented’- but flash forward back a year ago when I got fired, the only person that believed in me was Tommy Dreamer.
“I take that into account as well. There’s a lot of things there. I have proven over the past year that I am one of the top stars and the top heel in this business.”
Francis will compete in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet at TNA Bound For Glory.
