He said, “I don’t want to talk bad about TNA. But if I am gonna keep it 100%, like I always try to do, I think they are stupid.” He further explained the reason behind his negative sentiments by saying, “They were supposed to train me. They sent the ring to my gym but they never sent anybody over to train me. And they never put over the time to train me.”

The moment in reference was from June of 2013 when he made his debut in TNA. He was expected to be a big star in the company due to his MMA background and sheer size, but in September it was announced that Jackson was pulled off TV, most probably due to his in-ring ability. However, Jackson explained that he was never trained by the company before making his high-profile debut.

He further stated that he could have been a legend or a Hall of Famer if not for the sour relationship. He said, “I was serious about it. Who knows? I probably would have left MMA and been Ronda Rousey by now.”
