WWE Interview With “Cowboy” James Storm: What Led Him To NXT, Backstage Reaction, When Will He Be Back
Former TNA World Heavyweight Champion, “Cowboy” James Storm spoke to WWE.com after he made his NXT debut. Below is some highlights from the interview:
WWE.com – Can you walk us through how the conversation of you coming to NXT began?
James Storm – “It came about because I’m good friends with road Dogg and Billy Gunn. They put it in Triple H’s ear that I was free and clear of all contracts, to see if there’s some interest there. I actually called Road Dogg to see if it was OK that I went up to the NXT Nashville show not too long ago. He said, ‘Yeah, just try to stay out of sight.’ So, I stayed in the locker room. There were reports that I was sitting in the front row at an NXT show, and I didn’t deny that I was there. I just said, ‘I saw the reports and I’m sorry, but that was not me sitting in the front row.’ [Laughs.]
Then, [WWE Performance Center Head Coach] Matt Bloom pulled me aside and asked if I was available to come down that Wednesday and Thursday to Orlando. I went down and talked to Triple H at the NXT TakeOver: Respect special. Then the next night, he asked if I was willing to appear, and I said yes.”
WWE.com – What were you thinking as you walked into the NXT locker room in Nashville that first day?
Storm – “I really didn’t know what to expect because I didn’t know if these guys were looking at me, going, ‘Here’s a guy coming in, trying to take my job.’ Basically, that’s what I’m doing. I’m trying to find a spot. i learned a long time ago that you don’t have to worry about your spot if you’re doing your job right. But all the guys were so cool. All of them came up to me; a couple of them made me feel kinda of old, like, ‘Hey, I used to watch you 10 years ago.’ [Laughs.] But nobody said a negative word or gave me a dirty look, or anything like that. Everybody was super-cool and actually welcoming me in with open arms.”
WWE.com – The million-dollar question: When will we see you back in NXT or even WWE?
Storm – “That’s the million-dollar question. That’s not really up to me. My job is to go out and get myself over, as they say. And it’s up to what we call ‘the suits’ to make the decision of whether to bring me back to NXT or the WWE main roster. I got so many people all the time saying, ‘We want to see you and Bray Wyatt go at it on the microphone.’ I always say that you never know what’s going to happen in wrestling. And I just take one day at a time.”

TNA Provided An Update On Mickie James & Other Reactions About Controversial Angle From Impact
TNA Wrestling provided an update on their website about Mickie James following the controversial storyline from Wednesday night’s episode of Impact Wrestling, where James Storm pushed Mickie James onto the train tracks. Many suggested that Mickie had been killed off and it go a lot of negative attention online including Jim Ross and TAZ. Below is a video of the the angle form Wednesday’s Impact:
TNA issued the following statement:
“On Impact this past week Mickie James thought she was coming to Nashville to meet with Country Music Executives, to further her already amazing music career. The “meetings” were set up by Mickie’s friend, the leader of The Revolution, James Storm and all seemed to be on the up and up.
That is until Mickie James got to Nashville, Storm was there to greet her and told Mickie the real reason he invited her to Music City, USA and it had nothing to do with music. Storm revealed he wanted Mickie to join The Revolution, to which Mickie was not only taken aback, but wanted nothing to do with joining The Revolution.
Then Storm walked Mickie James to the train station ant that is where Storm, for whatever his reasons are, knocked Mickie James onto the tracks. While Storm’s actions are despicable and boderline criminal, we have reached out to Mickie James and have not yet gotten comment. We also reached out to security at The Nashville Star Train Station who were first on the scene after James Storm left and they were able to tell us that Mickie briefly blacked out and showed symptoms of a concussion. Mickie was tested and passed all concussion field tests. Mickie was emotionally disturbed following the events.
We will do our best to keep everyone up to date and we wish Mickie a very speedy recovery. We will be following up with Mickie James to see if she plans on filing criminal charges with Nashville PD.”
Here is what Jim Ross had to say about the storyline on his blog:
“I’m a big fan of both Mickie James, who was on our talent roster when I was in WWE, and James Storm whose work I’ve always enjoyed a great deal but the creative that they were provided Wednesday night regarding the train was undesirable and completely unrealistic and had me feeling embarrassed for two, very good talents. I do like the direction of Storm becoming a deranged character with scary tenacities but the train business did that few favors.”

James Storm Talks About TNA Impact Wrestling Cancellation Reports
James Storm was recently interview by the v2 Wrestling Podcast and he talked about the recent reports that Destination America is canceling TNA Impact Wrestling.
“I’ve been told by the higher-ups that there’s nothing to worry about,” Storm said. “TNA is owned by a billion dollar company, Panda Energy, so the money is going to be there. They talk about the network saying this and that. Every network wants great ratings, but the problem is that it takes time for the casual wrestling fans and viewers to find Destination America. A lot of people don’t have the channel, or it’s a premium channel and they have to pay for it. My mom actually couldn’t find it until like a month ago. So it’s just taking people a little longer to find the Destination America channel.”
“Nobody really knows except for the network and Dixie Carter, that’s how I look at it. Dixie cares about the wrestlers like they’re her own kids. If something’s going to go down, she’s going to have a meeting and talk about it with all the guys, so that’s how I look at it.”
