According to NashvilleCityPaper.com, TNA has taken legal action against former TNA wrestler Scott Steiner. This is following months of twitter rants against TNA, Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and others associated with the company.

TNA filed a “verified complaint” in Nashville Chancery Court on Monday seeking an injunction to prevent more disparaging remarks from Steiner. The company claims that 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 officials, wrestlers, or other individuals without prior approval.”

TNA has not filed an order for injunction after requesting injunctive relief in the matter, and due to that, a court hearing has not been scheduled. Part of TNA’s statement reads as follows…

“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.”

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

    They’re coming off as so weak with all these lawsuits.

    If he really is in breach of contract then I guess they wouldn’t be much of a business if they didn’t sue…

    Is Steiner contracted with TNA still? Because if so then that gag order is legally binding but if he is not than they do not have a leg to stand on.

      He’s with Ring Ka King, which was founded I believe by Jeff Jarrett

    $2500 per PPV appearance? Wow, I imagined even he would get more than that.
