Rampage Jackson on TNA: My Dream Came True To Be A Pro Wrestler, But They Never Trained Me, I Didn’t Get A Chance To Do Much

Rampage Jackson wishes his TNA run went differently.

Back in the year 2013. Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson was part of the Main Event Mafia after signing a deal with TNA Wrestling. Jackson is well known for his MMA run where he competed in PRIDE FC and the UFC where he scored knockout wins against the likes of Chuck Liddell, Wanderlei Silva, plus so many others.

During a conversation on his Jaxxon Podcast, this is what Jackson had to say about his TNA run and what he wished would have happened.

“I signed with TNA. I did a deal with Paramount Pictures and I went over to Bellator. They did a whole big deal for me. One part of the deal, I was going to be a pro wrestler. My dream come true. They never trained me. I went there, I was working with a couple of guys. They had us as the Main Event Mafia, but they never trained me. I never got a chance to do much. It was short-lived. I was working with Sting and a couple of other guys. Samoa Joe. I was very disappointed that TNA didn’t ever put the time in to train me or to really use me. They let me get hit upside the head with a hammer from Tito Ortiz. I was so mad at that. Let me kick Tito’s ass.

“Being there and seeing what they go through, as a MMA fighter, I was like, ‘I don’t think I have it to do what you guys do.'”

Rampage only had one match in TNA Wrestling, but was never involved in anything further with the promotion before he departed weeks later.
