It’s been over a year since James Storm left Impact Wrestling and the former TNA World Heavyweight champion has been working the independent scene ever since.
Back in 2015, Storm had a very short stint in NXT that ended when “The Cowboy” decided to return to Impact Wrestling.
He recently spoke to Inside The Ropes about his return to Impact Wrestling after his two-episode stint in NXT. He also knew the reunion of Beer Money might not last long.
"Before I went back, me and Bobby [Roode] talked about it that he might be leaving before I even went back," Storm said.
"Every man has to create his own path plain and simple. To me I had to go get my life straight I had to go do all this stuff. You know when I was with Impact Wrestling during that last run it was more, I don't wanna say going through the motions because I'm not that guy.
"When I go out there I like to bust my ass and earn my money. But it just seemed creative didn't know what to do with me which is to me, stupid. Because I was the biggest babyface they had. All you gotta do is give me a microphone, show me the ring, hit my music, and I'll go out and entertain the people. It's not that hard, it's not rocket science. So I don't wanna say I was going through the motions but to me, it kinda felt like I was."
Storm states that he is more than ready to jump on the road full-time if WWE calls him. He had some personal issues to clear up, which is why he didn’t stay long in the WWE. Storm said he wants to entertain people and has no issues traveling the world to get the job done no matter how long it takes.
"It's one of those things. I kinda threw it out there and only time will tell, we'll see what happens. Right now I'm getting in the best shape I can get in. Like you said, I'm getting my s--t together. It was more my personal and my family life that I had to get together and all that's taken care of.
"I'm one of those guys that I like to be considered a road warrior. Like I don't care about how many days I'm on the road. My wife loves for me to be on the road, she's like: 'get out of the house.' I just love to wrestle. That is why I got into wrestling is to wrestle. You always hear people complaining about being on the road too much and the travel and the hotels -- pussies, f--k that. That's what I'm about. Put me on the road because that's what I signed up for to entertain these people. Run around in the world in my underwear and entertain the people."
