Other News: Chris Harris stuck in no-man's land - says why he hated WWE; screwed for TNA return Jan 11, 2009 - 2:33:28 PM
Former TNA tag team champion Chris Harris left TNA in 2008 searching for greener pastures after his post-AMW singles run in TNA resulted in an unsatisfactory experience.
Harris wound up in WWE and was quickly brought to the ECW brand where Harris claims he was set up for failure.
"When I got there they changed everything - my personality, my look, my name," Harris said on the Monday Night Mayhem radio show. He added that it was the most miserable experience of his life and only resolved the "what if?" question in his head.
Harris says he was brought into WWE and didn't expect to be thrust on camera when he debuted on ECW TV in July 2008. He claims WWE gave him 20 minutes to come up with a new look and name before going out for his debut match against Armando Estrada.
"These guys are supposed to be pros, it's a billion dollar company, and for them to just throw me out there like that, I think it was set up to fail," Harris said. He added that the quick gear and look change is where "I got that stupid singlet."
As for a return to TNA, Harris says he wasn't thinking about that when he left for WWE. There were creative differences, which was turned into an Impact storyline of him always complaining about not having enough TV time. Now, discussions haven't turned out well for Harris to return to TNA, where he picked up his first national exposure.
"They're not feeling the same way (about a return) because they're a little bit more pissed off than I thought," Harris said. He closed that he hopes he can still have some sort of working relationship with TNA in the future.
