Nic Nemeth Explains Carlos Silva’s Decision To Pull Him From MJF Match, Cites ‘Legal Basis’ And ‘Contractual Obligations’
On Wednesday, it was announced that Nic Nemeth had been pulled from his upcoming CAP Wrestling match against AEW World Champion MJF on May 1.
Carlos Silva cited “partner conflicts” as to why the bout wasn’t happening.
Speaking on Youngstown Radio, Nemeth gave more insight into what he was told.
“A lot of things happened at once. I was out of the country doing a couple of UK dates and I found out that a couple of different things were happening. Our President, Carlos Silva, is very open when it comes to a lot of things. Behind the scenes deals, some things that people don’t always know about, ‘we’re trying to make this work.’ He’s very open to constantly ‘if this work, this doesn’t work, here’s why I can’t do this thing.’ We got a phone call and he said because of certain deep into contractual obligations, certain companies might have crossover with certain other companies that we are with their rival or streaming service or cable company. He goes, ‘because of the situation, and it’s debatable, and there are a few of them, we have to do the right thing now. It’s going to be a hard choice, but long-term, it covers their butts legally for everything.’ I’m crushed. You can have the business aspect, ‘You’re right, you explained to me and showed me the legal basis why we can’t do this rght now,’ but also, the part where I was like, ‘This is such a cool thing that is going to happen.’ Rarely do you get these special and cool moments with dudes from other companies and generations, in this case both, where you know it’s going to be good and big, and you just can’t get it done. I’m absolutely crushed,” he said.
Nemeth said that he was going to make the match happen at some point down the road.
Nemeth wasn’t the only TNA talent pulled from an upcoming match against an AEW wrestler as Leon Slate was pulled from his scheduled bout against Ricochet at the Wrestlecon Supershow.
