Lucha Underground Executive Trashes The Final Deletion and TNA Creative, Issues Apology After Jeremy Borash Responds

July 6, 2016

As fans continue to weigh-in on the highly debated Final Deletion match on TNA Impact Wrestling last night, one person who wasn’t a fan of the match, or TNA in general as it seems, is Lucha Underground Executive Producer Eric Van Wagenen.

Van Wagenen took to Twitter after The Final Deletion and posted the following:

Execution is everything… sorry guys, nice try. This is @IMPACTWRESTLING creative right about now… @LuchaElRey pic.twitter.com/XDmuW0GBkg

TNA’s Jeremy Borash responded to Van Wagenen’s harsh criticism by Tweeting the following:

@EricVanWagenen Best of luck to you and everyone at LU! I hope to check it out when my cable system gets @Elreynetwork. Hear it’s great!

Van Wagenen finally apologized and then plugged tonight’s Ultima Lucha Part One episode of Lucha Underground:

Can’t we all just get along? Apologies to all affected by my very dickish tweet. I do respect TNA for thriving in a very tough business.

Just one more opinion and then I’ll take twitter’s advice and STFU. #UltimaLuchaDos is going to be awesome tonight. @LuchaElRey
