Jake Crist on Possibility of Signing with NXT

Former IMPACT Wrestling star, Jake Crist, was recently interviewed by Fightful. Crist was asked about the possibility of signing with NXT, as well as, why he isn’t bashing his former employer.

When Jake Crist was asked why he is embracing free agency and not bashing IMPACT Wrestling he had this to say:

“When people have bitterness in their heart and they just go on different podcasts and they’ve been with that certain company for X amount of years, I just feel like the credibility of that person and their stories just go down. It’s like, for my case, I was there for almost four years. If it was that bad, why would I stay? I get the paycheck, and so on and so forth, but if it was that bad, why would I stay for that long? So, I know certain guys, you know, different cases, but that’s just the way I look at things. I just try to push all the negativity out and try to bring on the positive. The positive right now is me being a free agent and me just looking forward to the future. Hopefully things start opening up and brighten up with COVID.”

Crist also commented on the possibility of potentially signing with NXT:

“I would love to land in NXT. The thing about me is I’ve been in this business for almost nineteen years. Nineteen years in July. I’m probably dating myself or whatever. That’s fine. I’ve been in this business for nineteen years. Luckily for me, in every major company that’s on TV, I have friends everywhere. In every single locker room, I have friends. I can actually see myself in every single place. I can see myself in WWE. I can see myself in NXT. I can see myself in Ring of Honor. I would love to go to New Japan. Would love to. My door’s wide opens. My DMs are open. So, please, anybody from there that wants to get a hold of Jake Crist, hit me up. But, yeah, I can see myself in every single major company. That’s kind of a good thing, I think. It’s good to have friends.”
