TNA News Former TNA star Petey Williams talks about what he is doing now, which TNA tag team he is in a band with, and how he felt about being released By Rich Twilling Nov 10, 2009 - 11:32 AM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Former TNA superstar Petey Williams spoke out about his release from TNA ."Out of the blue, I received a call from head of talent relations for TNA, Terry Taylor, saying my contract was not going to be renewed. I still don’t understand why the contract was not renewed. It may have been a money issue since I was the highest paid guy in the X Division. They also mentioned freshening up the roster but I am one of the youngest guys so that doesn’t make sense. I guess more than anything, I would like an explanation why I was released." He also talked about what he was up to now, including playing in a band with the Motor City Machine Guns. He is also currently working as a personal trainer. "I have been working out for most of my life and it feels gratifying to help people achieve their goals." Petey also talked about Scott Steiner and the wrestling business in general. It is a very good read and to do so, click here. Twill's Two Cents: Petey made a really good point about being one of the younger guys on the TNA roster. His release still boggles my mind, but good for him for pursuing (and succeeding in) other interests. I hope to see him back in a ring though. HELP SUPPORT DOT NET!
