As revealed moments ago via Sports Illustrated, KC Navarro will be sticking around TNA for years to come.
In this chat with The Takedown On SI, Navarro discusses signing this contract with TNA, going to TNA at 19, his goals for this contract and more.
The Takedown: TNA Wrestling has confirmed with The Takedown on SI that it signed KC Navarro to a multi-year contract. Congratulations on this deal. I know you have been looking forward to it for a very long time.
KC Navarro: Since I was 19, I’ve been in the mix with Impact and TNA. Hard work pays off. A lot of years have gone by since then. I’ve busted my ass for this opportunity. It’s kind of like Matt Cardona says, ‘Always Ready’.
It all started at Under Siege this year when I got put in last minute to wrestle Laredo Kid, and it went from there. I’m just so grateful to finally be a part of TNA.
The Takedown: What goals do you have in mind during this extended run in signing this multi-year deal with TNA Wrestling?
KN: First, it’s to inspire anybody who doesn’t believe they’re enough or not big enough. I think I’m capable of doing many big things. Definitely want to bring the Tag Team Titles to FIR$T CLA$$. I definitely 110 percent want to become the X Division Champion. I have a set goal. It’s at the top of my list. If there’s anything I’m going to do before this is over, is I’m going to become the X Division Champion. It was one reason that I came to TNA. It’s one reason I always love TNA. So that’s the biggest goal for me, is to become the X Division Champion eventually.
