AJ Francis tells critics to ‘cut that victim bullsh*t out’ regarding TNA pulling talent
AJ Francis has a message for the critics, calling out TNA for pulling out their talents from matches against AEW wrestlers.
Just ahead of the WWE WrestleMania 42 weekend, multiple TNA talents were scheduled to face AEW wrestlers. However, at the last moment, those bouts were canceled and replaced by other matches.
While TNA President Carlos Silva received major backlash for this, multiple TNA talents spoke out defending the decision, including Matt Hardy and now AJ Francis.
On social media, Francis praised Silva’s recent explanation for pulling Leon Slater from his scheduled match against AEW’s Ricochet. When asked by a fan if Silva was wrong for pulling his talents, Francis replied:
“No, because nobody had a problem w/ AEW not allowing Powerhouse Hobbs to lose to me at 4th Rope even though the next night in the SAME BUILDING I was in a SOLD OUT MAIN EVENT vs Nic Nemeth for the TNA WORLD TITLE… cut that victim bulls*it out. Every company protects interests,” Francis wrote.
