TNA’s Nic Nemeth has explained TNA President Carlos Silva’s decision to cancel his upcoming match with AEW World Champion MJF.
After a back and forth on social media, a match was recently announced for Create-A-Pro Wrestling, pitting TNA’s Nic Nemeth against current AEW World Champion MJF.
However, yesterday it was reported that TNA had cancelled the match, as well as other upcoming matches pitting TNA stars against current AEW talent, after an edict from President Carlos Silva.
Nic Nemeth Explains Why TNA Cancelled Match With MJF
Speaking to Youngstown Studio, Nemeth opened up on the match being cancelled, and the explanation given by TNA President Carlos Silva.
He said:
“So 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, things people don’t always know about, we put out there, he’s very open to constantly being ‘here’s why I can’t do this thing’.
“We had a phone call, 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 a streaming service, or a cable company.
“He goes ‘because of the situation, and it’s debatable and there’s a few of them, we have to do the right thing now’. It’s gonna be a hard choice, but long-term it covers their butts legally for everything.”
Nic Nemeth ‘Crushed’ By Cancellation Of MJF Match
Nemeth would continue on, explaining why the match was so important to him, and him being ‘absolutely crushed’ by the match being cancelled.
He said:
“I’m crushed, obviously, because you can have the business aspect, you explained to me and showed me the legal basis of why we can’t do this right now, but also the part where I was like ‘this is such a cool thing that’s gonna happen’.
“Rarely you get these extra special cool moments, dudes from other companies, dudes from other generations, or in this case both, where you you know it’s going to be good, and big, and awesome and you just can’t get it done, and I’m absolutely crushed, because I go ‘this is gonna be something special down the line’.
“We’re both still gonna be on the show, but one way down the line, one way or another, whether it takes months or years, I’m gonna make this happen, because it was a special one for me.
“I like to let everyone know once in a while I can still go, I don’t get tired, I got my stamina from St. Eds and Kent State wrestling team, it’s never going away. I want to show anybody whether they’re 28, or 35, or the next guy whose got the torch for AEW for the next 20 years which really appears to be MJF dominating, I wanted to go ‘hey listen, I can go too, and I want to see if you can hang with me’. This is something we thought we’d never see, that’s what makes it extra special.”
