– Tyrus spoke with the Arm Drag Takedown podcast with Pollo Del Mar about his departure from the company and Jeff Jarrett’s involvement, plus more. The audio and highlights (per HuffPost) are below:

On his Impact departure: “When Jeff Jarrett came along — because him and I have an uncomfortable history — I just wasn’t comfortable with the management. They [TNA] didn’t want me working for Jeff. Basically, it came down to either stay with Impact or I could go with Global. I was making more with Impact, and Global didn’t have the resources to pay me what I was making. [Jeff] was basically saying it was better for me to come to Global, because Impact was about to fold. He was very adamant about that. Two weeks later, at the TV tapings, guess whose ass is there working the shows? Jeff Jarrett. I was like, ‘Bitch, [are] you crazy?!?’ Who does that?”

On feeling betrayed by the situation: “Check it: If I would have quit and taken money out of my family’s mouths, went and worked there and then, ‘Oh, we’re going to have to go work Impact…’ How would that have gone?!”

On knowing that his time in Impact was coming to a close when Jarrett rose in power: “I was like, ‘Oh, s**t! Well, I’m out.’ Unless [Jarrett] and I were going to have a sitdown, which just wasn’t going to happen, I knew this was not going to be a spot for me,” he said. “I just wasn’t comfortable with it.”
