From PWInsider

On how close he was to signing with TNA: He was all ready to sign with TNA for a one year contract and called Vince McMahon up and left a message informing Vince of his desire to sign with TNA. After going outside for about an hour and playing with his kid, he came back to about four messages left on his machine from Vince. They had a good conversation and Mick stated that Vince is “extremely persuasive, so much so that he said if you were to look up the word “persuasive” in the dictionary, there’d be a picture of the conversation Vince had with Mick. Mick stated that he truly believed that Vince was at his best when there was competition, and the he believed that there should be another option. But apparently, Vince convinced him that he might regret the decision to move to TNA. Mick also said that the WWE would do “a lot of things” for him and that they didn’t necessarily offer him more money, but the WWE made it so that he decided not to sign with TNA.
