Last night on TNA iMPACT! Joe Hendry successfully defended his TNA World Championship against Jake Something. Following the match, chaos ensued, and the Director of Authority Santino Marella came out. Former World Champion Nic Nemeth also entered the ring to help Hendry. But in the end, Nemeth accidentally superkicked Marella.
Following the incident, Nic Nemeth and his brother Ryan Nemeth went to see Santino Marella backstage. The Most Wanted Man apologised to Marella mentioning that it was a complete accident.
“Hey, hey, hey, you okay buddy? I am sorry, man. Listen, listen, that wasn’t meant for you. You know that was an accident. Look at me, we go way back. OVW, we were there together. You know that was an accident… I’m sorry. From the bottom of my heart, you know I did not mean that. I’m sorry,” Nic Nemeth said.
Ryan Nemeth also backed his brother and stated that accidents happen. But despite it being an accident, Santino Marella decided to suspend Nic Nemeth for four weeks without any pay.
“Look, you know I have the utmost respect for you and your family. And we do go back. At least 20 years. That’s why, this is going to be a difficult decision, okay? I can’t have this kind of behavior flying all around. You almost broke my jaw. That’s why… It’s not even about me okay, it’s about this… I have to protect and respect the authority. I’m going to have to suspend you for four weeks, I am sorry, without pay. Okay? Before I decide to press the charges, just leave it at that. Okay?” Santino Marella said.
Do you think Santino Marella made the right decision?
