Former TNA World Heavyweight Champion Eric Young took to Twitter following last night’s TNA Slammiversary pay-per-view event and said something he shouldn’t have said. Young wrote the following tweet that has since been deleted:
“Real world!!! If you watched #Slammiversary2015 and didn’t like it GO f–k YOURSELF #ProWrestling #proud #5thday #agame #teameffort”
Young then tweeted out the following:
