#2 He almost joined TNA
TNA has attained a new life thanks to the introduction of Anthem. It is a huge move for the company and the entire concept of TNA might change. Back in 2009, TNA was on the verge of having a similar shift as the company was in significant talks with none other than Paul Heyman. Heyman had mentioned that he was so close to saying ‘yes’ to the promotion but added that he found it hard to agree with the terms.
Heyman wanted a stake in the company and full control, just like he had in ECW but TNA was apparently not ready to run with the idea. They had Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan during the time these discussions were on and if that wasn’t the case, we could’ve had a different outcome.
Heyman eventually made his return to WWE and for TNA, it ended up being a missed opportunity.
