Nic Nemeth ‘Bummed Out’ About Match Against MJF Being Scrapped: “I’m Gonna Try & Make This Match Happen One Day”
Nemeth addresses the situation.
Fightful received a comment from TNA Wrestling President Carlos Silva about TNA talents being pulled from shows that they were scheduled to share the ring with AEW talents on.
One of those situations was TNA’s Nic Nemeth being scheduled to face AEW World Champion MJF at Create-A-Pro’s May 1st show. The match has been pulled, and Silva cited ‘partner conflicts’ as the reason for these instances.
Nemeth addressed the situation on Busted Open and said he’s crushed by it. He stated that he’ll try to make the match happen at some point.
“You know, I was really looking forward to this. I was really, really excited… But yes, as of yesterday, as I was flying in, I found out it’s because of certain partnerships and brands. TNA President Carlos Silva had to make a difficult decision and protect a couple of brands down the line and things that are actually contractually obligated to happen. Ya can’t just kind of do whatever we want, even though I think some things were approved at a different time when it became the situation that it is now with a couple of different things happening at once… I’m crushed. I was very much looking forward to doing this but, it’s unable to happen at the moment so, we’re still doing the Create-A-Pro show and refunds will be available and also, MJF’s gonna do an open challenge there and he’s still gonna (be) signing and doing all the things at Create-A-Pro for that big show, and all of those things will happen. I’m going to wrestle Bear Bronson for the first time ever. I hate that it had to come out this way, I hate that this wasn’t all taken care of in the past but, that’s something we can all work on. I gotta start reading some fine print and we have to protect people that we actually work with and we have partnerships with. Usually, I’m pretty great about that so, I’ll stay on that for everything that we do because a lot of different things that TNA talent do, two out of three weeks or three out of four weeks are independent shows and getting paid that way and being able to go out there and have that leeway from the company but, we just need to be a little bit better communicating with each other going forward and I’m bummed out. I’m gonna try and make this match happen one day, and hopefully soon, but at the moment, it is currently not happening but, Friday, May 1st, I’ll still be there, Melville, New York for Create-A-Pro…”
MJF reacted to the reasoning for the match being pulled, and his comments can be read here.
Moose was pulled from a Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling event, and TNA X Division Champion Leon Slater is no longer facing AEW’s Ricochet at WrestleCon’s Mark Hitchcock Memorial Supershow.
