Even More Details On Ken Anderson’s TNA Release, What He Failed His Drug Test For, Eric Young’s Backstage Reaction and More

March 10, 2016

As we noted moments ago, Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet.com reported that Ken Anderson was fired from TNA after he failed a drug test following a January 19th match against Eric Young in Bethlehem, PA.

According to a TNA source, Anderson failed the drug test after he tested positive for pills for which he did not have a prescription. The source added Anderson’s behavior seemed odd during the day leading up to the match, and illegal pills were the cause of the drug test failure.

We were also told the match Anderson had with Young had to be cut short because Anderson was described as looking “very bad in the ring”, and Eric Young was reportedly furious with TNA management after the bout, to the point he could be heard yelling at officials to do something about the situation.
