• Impact Wrestling Hall Of Fame 2018 Inductee Revealed

Abyss TNA Impact Wrestling Hall Of Fame 2018

Abyss made his TNA debut back in June 2002 and has stayed with the company since then. Abyss is also the only Impact Wrestling Hall of Fame inductee that has never worked for WWE.

However, that doesn’t mean WWE never offered him a contract. During an appearance on The Pancakes and Powerslams Show, Abyss revealed that WWE wanted to sign him back in 2006 for a program with The Undertaker, but he refused:

“There was interest from WWE. I was at a time in my career where my contract was coming up, but I decided to stay with TNA. It was definitely an offer there in 2006 to work with The Undertaker, but again, I was such a big part of the beginning of TNA, I was such a home-grown talent, a base talent who they were building around, I decided to stay.

I have no regrets, to be honest with you. Like I said, TNA has been my home and treated me so good, so in the end it was a pretty easy decision for me to make, and I’ve never looked back.”
