TNA Original Abyss never made the jump to WWE, despite their interest in signing him during the 2000s.
During a recent interview with Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, the TNA Hall of Famer was asked about rumours that he was approached with WWE offers, to which he replied:
"I'll tell you flat out, it was true. There were opportunities presented, I think in 2005 and 2007. There might have been another time. It was extremely humbling and extremely exciting. I was just in a place where I was with TNA since the very beginning, and I felt like I was one of the cornerstones that helped build it along with AJ [Styles], Jeff [Jarrett], Samoa Joe, Sting, and Christopher Daniels. The opportunity was there. I just, at that time, I felt loyal to TNA being there from the beginning. That was something that I couldn’t walk away from".
Real name Chris Parks, he has been working with WWE as a producer since January 2019.
Cody Rhodes recently spoke about his pitches to get The Monster Among Men in the Royal Rumble match, to no avail.
