In a post on social media, WrestleCon said that TNA
President Carlos Silva reimbursed the company after he
pulled Leon Slater from his WrestleCon match against
Ricochet.
All TNA talent were pulled from wrestling AEW stars during
Wrestlemania weekend, in a move which many believe was WWE’s
doing, protecting their partnership with TNA.
Others believe that Silva was not happy that AEW put
Collision head-to-head with Impact on a Thursday a few weeks
ago and decided to get revenge.
“He took a beating the last few weeks, so I want to give
Carlos Silva his props today,” WrestleCon founder Michael
Bochicchio wrote.
“A week ago, he called me personally to explain his
reasoning for pulling the match. He then asked if there was
anything he could do to make up for it. I simply asked that
he reimburse me for Leon’s flights/hotel since he was no
longer wrestling for us. Today, I was reimbursed for the
flight/hotel as promised. Thank you Carlos,” the statement
continued.
Silva pulling all his talent from matches did not go down
well with fans and other promoters, with one particular
promoter even going as far as saying that he will never work
with TNA talent again in the future.
