Shawn Daivari spoke with WrestlingInc for a new interview. Check out the highlights:
On choosing to lose Feast or Fired in TNA in 2010: “This is how much of a hot head I am. We were going to do this Feast or Fired thing, and me and Cody Deaner were supposed to come down with the briefcase at the same time for a tie. The following episode of Impact was going to be a live one, and it was going to be Hogan and Bischoff’s first Impact. They were coming in with creative control, and Bischoff was going to be a producer on the show. Terry Taylor tells us Bischoff is going to decide if he really wants to keep us around. We were going to have a match on the following live Impact. The winner got the (unknowingly losing) briefcase. We open the loser briefcase, and we’d be like ‘I don’t want it, I didn’t win it, you won it.”
On quitting over the whole angle: “Bischoff was going to legit decide who was going to stay on the show. I was so mad and frustrated that was a question, because I just signed a new contract with them. I was so f–king pissed. We just signed this contract after they were dragging their heels, so I was like ‘f–k this, give me the briefcase, it’s my last night, if you’re not going to fire me, I quit. Give me the briefcase and let me get the f–k out. I don’t want to wait for Bischoff, let’s do it tonight.’ Terry said he had to ask Dixie, so he went and told Dixie how pissed I was and she said ‘fine, if he wants to go, let him go.’ The worst part is I thought I was possibly saving Cody Deaner’s job, but they ended up firing him anyway! It’s pretty s–tty.”
