UPDATE: Former TNA X Division and World Champion Austin Aries posted the following comments on his Twitter account in response to the rumors of Destination America cancelling TNA programming and iMPACT! Wrestling. Aries took to task the journalists who broke the “scoops” for spreading negativity. You can read his comments in full below.
No matter who’s wrestling companies you root for or hate on, remember the human element. We’re all people working to provide, just like you. If you need to spread negativity or wish the worst, step back and ask yourself why and what good it brings you… The world’s a sphere for a reason…what’s put out there, it all comes around. I would extend those comments to the journalists who provide for theirs by reporting on what I do… Just because you have the “scoop” doesn’t make you a #GR8 reporter. Knowing when it IS and ISN’T responsible to share that scoop does.
ORIGINAL: In an update on earlier reports, Austin Aries’ contract with TNA expires at the end of June. There has not yet been word of TNA re-signing him but we know the company wants him to stay.
