Roderick Strong and Austin Aries in hot water with TNA

[What Would Kevin Do?]

They had to put a foot down somewhere, and when they told their TNA wrestlers to fly to the East coast immediately because of the impending storm, Aries and Strong should have listened instead of trying to seem like big shots with more important things to do than help build up the only viable competition to WWE on the market today.

It doesn't matter, as their employer, TNA has NO RIGHT to dictate what legal activities they do on their days off. They did not miss the show, therefore, there is no issue. You can't punish someone for doing nothing wrong. To me, this seems like nothing more than TNA saying "We're more important than ROH, and you're going to recognize it."

No harm was done to TNA, no harm was done to ROH. How the hell can you punish them for meeting their contractual obligations?
