Matt Jackson talked about how the pressure they had been putting on everyone had forced others to try harder to compete.
Matt: "The pressure has been put on everybody in the professional wrestling business ... Everybody is trying harder now. It's very competitive again. We need competition again. The industry needs it to survive."
