Jake Something talks TNA return, rebrand, Monty Brown. (Patreon)

Fightful spoke to TNA Wrestling’s Jake Something ahead of TNA No Surrender.

Jake told us that leaving TNA a few years ago to venture outside was scary, but also awesome. It was something that he felt like the had to do, and believes it made TNA respect him more. He said that Josh Alexander contacted him about coming back, and had him reach out to Scott D'Amore. He said that just a couple of minutes after messaging D'Amore, they started working on a deal to bring him back to the company.

We spoke about Monty Brown, and Jake noted that Monty is now a popular personal trainer at a gym near Saginaw, Michigan that he would go to.

Jake walked through some of the names listed throughout his career, and noted that the Something puns do grow old at times, but he said that if it sticks with people, then it's working. He said that even though he was listed as "Dirty Beserk," he never used that name.

He found out that he'd be working with Oleg Prudius (the former Vladamir Kozlov) the day of TNA Hard to Kill, and was worried that fans wouldn't be as excited to see him after Rhino popped up. He said he was pleasantly surprised with the reaction.
