Pro wrestling veteran Mr. Anderson appeared on the Refin’ It Up podcast to discuss various topics, including the circumstances surrounding his recent return to TNA Wrestling.

Mr. Anderson said, “After a nine-year hiatus, made my return to TNA… TNA was in Minneapolis, and it made sense. I reached out to a bunch of people, I connected with a bunch of fans. I crossed paths with Matt Hardy and Nic Nemeth and a couple of the — Tommy (Dreamer).”

He continued, “Just, ‘Hey, I’m interested in doing anything, if there’s a spot for me,’ and it turns out there was so, I was able to work here… Here’s the best part about it: Two weeks ago, we had the kids, and my daughter said to me, ‘Dad, I think you should go work for one of those big companies again,’ you know? ‘I wanna see you work for WWE or TNA,’ and I knew that it was gonna happen, but I just bit my lip, and didn’t wanna tell her… We had ‘em two weekends in a row, and I was at the show. My wife and my mom picked the kids up from school. They live two and a half hours away, brought ‘em here… They were like, ‘Where’s dad?’ ‘Well, we’re gonna go to a wrestling show tonight and dad’s gonna come and sit with us, but, he’s got some other stuff he has to take care of first.’ So, they got seated… We did a promo segment and then we did a match later on…”

Mr. Anderson added, “So that was just really, really awesome for me personally.”
