Summary

Scott D'Amore (@ScottDAmore) is a retired professional wrestler and onscreen authority figure. He sits down with Chris Van Vliet in Detroit to talk about his time at TNA and his exit from the promotion, how he found out that he would be leaving, turning the brand around following previous fan backlash, making things right with Kazuchika Okada, Jordynne Grace and Joe Hendry appearing on WWE TV, his upcoming work with Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling, the first time he saw Petey Williams execute the Canadian Destroyer and more. Quote I'm thinking about: "...if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
