Sami Callihan praises the growth of TNA Wrestling

TNA has seen an impressive growth as of late, with some of the top wrestlers in the world working for the company. Meanwhile, the partnership with WWE has made things even better for them.

Speaking with Tru Heel Heat Wrestling, Sami Callihan shared his excitement about how good the product has become lately.

"TNA’s hot right now, dude. People want to talk about this company...I think TNA is finally getting the respect it deserves. I think we’re hotter now than we’ve been in years. We’re selling more tickets and more pay-per-views than we've done in over 10 years. Right now is the best time to be not just a TNA fan, but a wrestling fan in general...So, there’s no excuse not to give TNA a chance right now," Callihan said. [H/T: Wrestlezone]

As for the 37-year-old wrestler, the question is if he will continue to be part of TNA or if he will retire should he lose to Mike Santana.
