has an interview up with Jesse James "BG James" Armstrong who, along
with Billy Gunn, will be headlining a show for Top Rope Promotions this
Friday in Fall River, MA.
He talks about Scott Hall's
"performance" at the last TRP show saying "It was pitiful and disgusting
to see the videos of Scott Hall. I know there's help there for him. But he just really doesn't want to quit what he's doing. And he's a friend of mine."
He
also talks about his own substance problems that occurred last year
when he was let go by TNA. "I had been famous. I'd made a ton of money.
Then I got fired and it felt like everything was crumbling. I understand
exactly where he (Hall) is at. I pray for him every morning. I've been
there. When you can't handle life, you just want to alter your mind. I
hadn't saved any money. I went through it like a crazy rock star. The
only thing I knew was to take more drugs. I shut myself in my home. I
contemplated suicide." He had a successful rehab stint, adding "The last
seven months I've had serenity. I'm a husband, a father. My life is
good today."
He also said that Gunn is on the road to recovery
from his own substance abuse problems as well adding, "He's doing great.
He's turned his life around as well."
