TNA Takes Legal Action Against Scott Steiner Over “Disparaging Remarks” On Twitter

It was smart to put that in Stieners contract given his history of saying negative and nasty things when things dont go his way.

Well a contract is a contract it’s there to protect them. Rules are for every one if your not happy don’t sign it or ask to amend it.

NBC did the same thing with Conan O'Brien when they unceremoniousy fired him. They knew he'd tear them a new one, so they wanted to be sure some time passed before he did. He had to wait something like 6 months before he could speak out. But once he got his program on TNT, he let it fly! I watched the premiere episode and he had a blast. It's common practice for companies to make employees sign a "no disclosure" agreement, as well as a contract that bans them from talking bad about the company if they are ever released. If you don't think you can do that, or don't like being forced to sign these types of contracts, then you shouldn't work for companies that require them. Once you sign it, it's a legal and binding contract and if you violate it, you can and will be held liable.
