Steiner sues TNA

Scott Steiner filed another lawsuit against TNA on Monday.

Steiner alleges that TNA allowed an under-the-influence of "alcohol and possibly drugs" Jeff Hardy in their ring during a TNA live event in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.

Steiner claims as a result, he suffered nerve damage to his neck and back as well as an injury to his biceps. Steiner alleges 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."

Steiner is seeking $750,000 in damages. As of Monday afternoon, TNA had not been served with the lawsuit yet. There is a hearing set for November 30th where TNA is trying to get Steiner's first lawsuit dismissed.

This is a completely believable story. That being said I think he's probably full shit.

I think that it is incredibly likely that this is true and if Steiner succeeds here it could lead to quite a few more lawsuits, it wouldn't surprise me if Jeff has been under the influence many, many times whilst wrestling in TNA and if someone wants a good payday they could sue.

But use it now? I love it when this shit comes out like a year or so later. Why not do it right then and there? It's not that I don't believe him, but come on, he had so much time to talk about it and shit.

I love Scotty's rants on TNA. You know as crazy as he is, that every single word he said was true. TNA is an absolute shithole, and I love seeing them getting called on it.

He is only using it now because TNA are suing him. If they just left him alone he never would have filed this case.

Pretty sure that TNA went to court to force him to stop saying bad things about TNA even though he no longer works for that. I think that is what started it.

Not even sure why TNA would be bothered about such a no body bashing them.

That is the confusing thing because by suing him TNA just gave Steiner's comments more publicity and showed that the comments were hurting them. The best way to deal with it would have been to ignore it completely. Now they have just opened a can of worms and Steiner doesn't seem like someone that would back down from anything. He will follow this through until the end.

That's most likely because he's too stupid to stop. But honestly, he's pretty much proven his point if TNA is trying to sue him like you said. Plus, it's the most entertaining shit right now.
