Scott Steiner Files Lawsuit Against TNA Over Match With Jeff Hardy

Source: The City Paper

According to The City Paper, Steiner alleges that TNA allowed an under-the-influence of "alcohol and possibly drugs" Jeff Hardy in their ring during a TNA live event in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.

Steiner claims as a result, he suffered nerve damage in his shoulder and neck as well as an injury to his biceps. Steiner alleges that "[TNA] knew or should have known that their agent, employee, representative, and/or servant was too incapacitated, intoxicated and/or under the influence of a controlled substance and should not have been allowed to enter the ring thus endangering the life, health, well being and safety of Scott Rechsteiner."

Steiner is seeking $750,000 in damages. As of Monday afternoon, TNA had not been served with the lawsuit yet. There is a hearing set for November 30th where TNA is trying to get Steiner's first lawsuit dismissed.
