TNA wrestlers were recently blocked from competing against talent from other rival promotions and it has caused an uproar within the industry with AEW’s MJF being one of the more outspoken ones as his match against Nic Nemeth next month was effectively canceled. MJF has continued his rant against TNA’s Carlos Silva, who cited “partner conflicts” as the reason, stating the following on Busted Open Radio earlier today:
“Let’s talk about TNA and the fact that they are pulling young talent off of shows when they’re barely paying them any money whatsoever and telling them, ‘Hey, you can’t wrestle because there’s a guy from another promotion that’s wrestling on this show.’ Does that help young talent grow? Does that help young talent become better inside the squared circle? Moreover, does that help young talent put food on their plate so they can eat? What Carlos Silva is doing is disgusting. And if anybody supports him or that company at this point, it is very hard for me to wrap my head around.”
Also joining in with his criticism of TNA’s new policy is West Coast Pro promoter/owner Scott Bregante who posted the following to social media. His promotion is running two events next week though it’s not clear how his show is affected.
“Working with talent on an independent level, after clearing everything, and doing business, only to have said talent pulled after the fact, high or low profile, gives me zero reason to work with anyone from said company making said arrangements. Abysmal dogsh*t.”
“When you have an understanding and it gets cleared, all parties involved have weighed risks. To get it cleared by multiple channels and by multiple companies, to then have said company go BACK on it, is garbage. And a Memorial show at that.”

Abysmal dogshit.
