TNA Wrestling issued a response to the cease and desist letter from independent wrestler Justin “Krimson” Carnes over the weekend.

The response claims that Carnes’ claims will not hold up in court as wrestlers have worn facepaint dating back to the 1980’s with The Road Warriors, while there have been tons of wrestlers with clown-esque features and that there have always been similar wrestlers who were placed together in stables.

TNA Wrestling will not be pulling The Decay or Crazzy Steve from television. The company tape television later this month at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida from April 21st through to April 24th with the faction involved in company storylines.
