Current TNA Tag-Team Champion Scott Hall has reportedly been fired by the wrestling company. This comes a month after Hall was arrested on charges of disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest stemming from a disturbance at a bar in Seminole County, FL.
At last night's TNA iMPACT! tapings in Orlando, FL, Eric Bischoff announced that the tag-team champions The Band (consisting of Hall, Kevin Nash and Eric Young) were being stripped of the titles since Hall did not live up to the standards of the company.
Hall was arrested on May 14 at the Hitching Post Bar in Chuluota near where Hall lives. Police were called to the location around 1:43AM that morning on a disturbance complaint. The deputy that arrived saw the 51-year-old Hall yelling and cursing at the bartender and others. He later punched out the windows of a car and refused arrest.
Following the situation, Hall reportedly did not inform the company of his arrest. Instead, TNA management – along with everyone else – learned of the situation on May 22 when it was reported by The Orlando Sentinel.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is due back in court on July 1 for a pre-trial conference.
