Scott Steiner - TNA Lawsuit Update, Final BFG Standings Heading Into Tonight's Impact
- According to PWInsider.com, a trial date of March 31st, 2014, has been set in the pending lawsuit between TNA Wrestling and former TNA star Scott Steiner. A pre-trial meeting will take place on March 14th, 2014, in Nashville, Tennessee.
The trial stems from TNA suing Steiner back in 2012 for defamation of character, following numerous Twitter rants by Steiner directed at Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, Brooke Hogan and other TNA personalities. TNA also claimed that Steiner was in breach of his TNA contract. Steiner then counter-sued TNA in September of 2012 for breach of contract.
