Furthermore, TNA’s Billy Corgan went on Twitter and said Dave Meltzer, who broke the story, is being worked by a “sloppy angle.” Corgan wrote:

We noted earlier that TNA issued a statement on the reports and shot them down, indicating that they would pursue legal action. Meltzer replied to the statement on Twitter responding to a fan:

Meltzer also compared Corgan to Vince Russo and the incident that happened last year when Russo accidentally e-mailed Mike Johnson of PWInsider:
Sort of sad about Corgan, his words are almost identical to Russo about Mike Johnson when he did that story last year.

I'll be fine being the Mike Johnson, but quite sad he's the Vince Russo.
