Why Black chose WWE over TNA?

Former ROH Champion Tyler Black, who is expected to start at WWE developmental any time now, spoke with The Sun in the UK about signing with the company. Here are some highlights:
Which Superstar encouraged him to sign: “I’ve spoken a lot to Evan Bourne and he has encouraged me to make the move.”
Picking WWE over TNA and ROH: “To be honest, and no disrespect meant, but it wasn’t a hard decision to make. You have to want to test yourself against the best and WWE is the pinnacle of our industry. They were actually the last to make me an offer. I was renegotiating with ROH and TNA had made an offer, but when WWE came in it was no contest.”
What’s next: “I understand that I may have to sacrifice a little artistic integrity — and I don’t know if I’ll have to change my name — but I’m so excited about the challenge that lies ahead. If I knew exactly what I was doing I’d probably try to keep it from you, but the truth is I don’t know. All I know is I will report to Tampa (WWE developmental territory FCW) and go from there. I wouldn’t be averse to starting on NXT. I think it’s a really great concept. It’s a chance to get your character to stand out.”

I don't blame him, TNA is a sinking ship and I wouldn't want to be apart of it. WWE may suck right now, but it is the most known.

mmm i love Tyler Black....love him.

cant wait to see him

It is really simple.

TNA are willing to recklessly offer contracts to anyone. Getting an offer from TNA doesn't mean you are someone special, it simply means you can wrestle.

If you receive an offer from WWE, even if it goes nowhere it means you are a somebody. Although it may also mean you are big in stature. But usually it means you have the potential to be successful in wrestling. Plus, the line "WWE are offering me a contract worth *insert price here*" can get you the big bucks somewhere like TNA or (to a lesser extent) ROH.

i actually like the way he is putting over NXT...because this concept has helped get some ppl over pretty quickly...i mean it even got Naomi over pretty darn instantly

Wise choice on his part. He takes the chance of being made or not but it's undeniable that WWE is the top of the mountain, it's a risk worth taking.

deffinetely.....you can still be passionate about wrestling as well as wanting to set yourself up financially steady

its a job at the end of the day....and WWE is the best way to get a big budget for doing what you love

Or for wrestling once a month on TV.....have your pick

Risk worth taking, regardless. Once in a Lifetime opportunity, second chances are rare in wrestling.
