TNA takes legal action against Scott Steiner, reveals pay per appearance

[Testify]

TNA has taken legal action against former TNA wrestler Scott Steiner following months of "disparaging remarks" about TNA, Hulk Hogan, and other TNA employees, according to the Nashville City Paper.

TNA filed a "verified complaint" in Nashville Chancery Court on Monday seeking an injunction to prevent more disparaging remarks from Steiner. TNA claims Steiner breached a contract he signed in 2010 that says Steiner is "forbidden from making public statements, including tweeting, concerning TNA or any of its officers, wrestlers, or other individuals without prior approval."

A court hearing has not been scheduled yet because TNA has not filed an order for injunction after requesting injunctive relief in the matter.

TNA's statement seeking legal action against Steiner reads: “In blatant disregard of the parties’ Agreement, Steiner has engaged in a concerted effort to disparage TNA, its wrestlers, and other talent and cast them in a negative light."

Also in the filing, TNA reveals that Steiner was paid $2,500 per PPV appearance during his time with TNA.

2.5k per PPV?:dafuq:

* vince doesnt know if 2.5k is good or not cause that seems like a fuck load of money to me

 

[Farooq]

I want 2.5 k for showing up at a PPV Scott, why you playin' me dawg?

 

[Saylor]

They are going to sue Steiner for everything he's worth. Which unfortunately for them is nothing more than an understocked supply of steroids, some chain mail headwear, a few sex slaves locked up in a closet in his basement, and a box full of losing lottery tickets.

Lmao.

They're suing to stop him doing ANY MORE. Steiner won't lose much at all.

Stupid lawsuit though. Them suing Scott just brings attention to Steiner's remarks and lets others know they care enough about it to sue. Think about how many ex-WWE employees have slagged the product off. Do nothing, people forget.

Plus, 2.5k and Hogan gets 30k? Pfft, Steiner > Hogan.

Definitely agree. I'm sure a ton of people who couldn't give a fuck less about what Steiner has to say are googling him as we speak to find out what he has been saying because of the attention TNA has brought on to his comments.

I still can't get over that he was payed 2.5k for PPV. I mean, the Knockouts and some undercarders are reportedly payed between 500-1k. That's shit man.

Assmacher > Steiner TndA TndA

2.5k to cut an unscripted babbling promo and then be in a random tag match, do a couple of belly to belly suplexes, flex, and go back to his locker room and chill? Sounds reasonable tbh

Makes you realise how bs it is that Hogan gets 30k.
