Chris Harris Speaks On Leaving TNA, Signing With WWE, More!

[Outsiders]

Its official former TNA wrestler Chris Harris has signed with WWE. Yesterday he published a statement on his official website regarding the circumstances of leaving TNA and signing with WWE. Below is the statement:

 

Due to confidential negotiations, I have had to keep quiet for some time. I have read a number of wrestling sites reporting what they suspected was happening with me. I have had numerous calls from radio stations and internet sites and have answered none. Fans on the site and in person want to know. Truth is, I wanted to keep quiet until it was official. Yesterday evening, I signed a contract with the World Wrestling Entertainment.

 

I apologize for not responding to anyone, but there was no need to stir up the gossip until I had something official. Not to mention, I am not sure of the rules yet and didn't want to cause problems with my new employer. I have put a lot of thought into this decision and feel that it is the best for me. Wrestling is my life and I had lost my passion for it. I have been unhappy for some time. It was the right time to make some changes. I have fulfilled many dreams in my wrestling career, but the ultimate dream is to be at the top of the wrestling world...and that means the WWE.

 

I will say nothing bad about TNA. I am grateful for everything they have given me. I appreciate the fact they have helped advance my career to where it is today. The past 5 1/2 years have been some of the best in my life, but also some of the most stressful. I have worked my ass off to become what I am today. Now it is time to take the next step.

 

I don't know what the future holds for me. It is time to start at the bottom again and fight my way to the top. I am proud to be part of my new family. Even though I have not worked for WWE before...I feel like that is where I belong.

 

I want to thank everyone for all of the support they have given me over the years. I can only hope that you continue your support. The real journey has just begun. I will put my heart and soul into this journey and let God lead me.

 

I always remind everyone to "live the dream". This is my dream...and it's time to start living!

He sure sounds like he has already become a cog in the WWE machine. It's doubtful he'll rise above anything more than the midcard, but at least he knows what to say when interviewed.

 

Good luck at taking that next step.

Considering he was nothing more than midcard in TNA, being midcard in WWE would be a huge career improvement. Midcard in the WWE will guarantee a couple TNA World Title reigns when he is released and resurfaces in TNA in a couple of years... if TNA is still around.
