TNA Wrestling issued a statement on its website yesterday confirming the release of “Wildcat” Chris Harris. However, that statement was later pulled from the website.
WrestleZone.com is reporting that this doesn’t mean Harris came to a new agreement with the company as he was offered a new deal recently and turned it down as it wasn’t happy with it and instead opted to let his current deal expire.
Sources close to the situation have stated that Harris was unhappy in the last few months with his current role within TNA and it seemed obvious to some backstage that Harris would be leaving the company very soon. He had what was described as a “farewell dinner” with a number of TNA wrestlers following the TV taping on Tuesday.
SITE NOTE: I (Ryan Clark) am really excited about the weekly return of WrestleZone Radio. Matt Boone and I ran the show for nearly five years before we decided to take an extended break. The show returns Monday night with new co-hosts although I will be on for a weekly news segment each week. The show will air every Monday night prior to RAW from 7EST – 9EST. We return THIS MONDAY with special guest ROB VAN DAM and LETICIA CLINE. You’ll be able to call-in live and ask questions for both stars! I really look forward to you tuning in every week and interacting with you all. To visit the official WZR site: CLICK HERE!
