Big Papa Pump gets the lawyers....again

[Stopspot]

Scott Steiner filed another lawsuit against TNA today in Nashville Chancery Court, according to The Nashville City Paper.
Steiner, in his latest lawsuit, alleges that TNA allowed a chemically incapacitated Jeff Hardy in the ring during a house show in Mount Pleasant, Michigan "while under the influence of alcohol and possibly drugs" according to the report. This time, Steiner claims TNA allowed wrestler Jeff Hardy to enter the ring during a match last year in Mount Pleasant, Mich., while under the influence of alcohol and possibly drugs.

Steiner, who is claiming nerve damage to his neck and back as well as an injury to his biceps due to Hardy's work while allegedly intoxicated, is alleging that "[TNA] knew or should have known that their agent, employee, representative, and/or servant was too incapacitated, intoxicated and/or under the influence of a controlled substance and should not have been allowed to enter the ring thus endangering the life, health, well being and safety of Scott Rechsteiner."

The Nashville City Paper cites that Hulk Hogan was responsible for "writing and approving the script" of the bout (which sounds off on paper, considering it was a house show).

Steiner is seeking $750,000 in damages.

Steiner and TNA have a hearing set on 11/30 in regard to TNA attempting to dismiss Steiner's first suit against the company, a counter-suit filed alleging they breached his contract for failing to give a proper accounting of royalties owed as well as failed to pay royalties. TNA's argument is that Steiner, contractually, has to give them 30 days' notice of the breach and to give them a chance to repair it before he can file for breach legally. That suit is in response to TNA suing Steiner for disparaging the company and its management, including Hulk Hogan, Dixie Carter and Eric Bischoff, via his Twitter account.

TNA has not yet been served with the lawsuit.

PWInsider.com will have more on the new lawsuit tomorrow.

I'd love to see Steiner being his own lawyer in court :dawg:

I don't know when that match happened, report says in November 2011, but that's when Jeff Hardy was silver and clean.

Don't know what's Poppa talkin' about. Steiner and Bully Ray vs. Hardy and RVD? That didn't come after Victory Road.

So what I think Steiner is saying that Hardy is conning everyone and is still on drugs. Wow. :steiner:

 

[Lacky]

I wonder if they are better than Randys fuck lawyers?

 

[Testify]

Yep, Scott claims Hardy was still intoxicated AFTER he came back last year.

Here's the skinny report from that house show, proving the match did happen, but not pointing to absolutely anything.

Report by David Maybee, PWTorch reader

TNA's first show on the tour at the Soaring Eagle Casino was nearly identical to the next night in Battle Creek, Mich. I attended live and enjoyed the show.

James Storm kicked off the event with a promo, asking if there were any beer drinkers in the arena.

(1) X Division champion Austin Aries beat Jesse Sorensen to retain the X Division Title.

Earl Hebner got his own entrance prior to the next match and Jeremy Borash introduced him as "the most infamous referee in professional wrestling."

(2) Knockouts champion Velvet Sky beat ODB to retain the KO Title.

(3) James Storm beat Magnus. Quick match to get Storm in and out of the ring.

(4) Mr. Anderson beat Abyss via DQ. Before the match, they did Anderson's microphone spot where no mic dropped from the ceiling, so Jeremy Borash stood on a chair and held a microphone over Anderson so he could do his introduction.

After intermission, Ric Flair cut a promo.

(5) A.J. Styles beat Gunner.

(6) Rob Van Dam & Jeff Hardy beat Bully Ray & Scott Steiner.

I'd bet Bully Ray would have to say something about it if it was true.

I'd like to hear that audition if Steiner was his own lawyer.
