I'm just glad we're getting a season 2. Impact Wrestling should have confirmed with LU that Hernandez was in fact released from his contract. I blame them more than anyone for not doing their due diligence and checking directly with the other promotion. I can see if maybe there was some confusion on Hernandez's part, but they should never just take the wrestler's word.
Not too upset about losing Hernandez. He has a bit of a reputation for being dangerous in the ring, often times sending people in free falls like these.

That's pretty much Impact for you. They have a track record of incompetence, including:
Paying employees late, in most cases 2 months later than they should. One employee was caught working in a mall while under contract and another had to apply for food stamps due to lack of payment.
Refusing to pay medical bills of wrestlers injured on their shows, including one guy who broke his neck during a match. He was later released while recovering from his injuries. They also chose not to help pay medical bills of a wrestler who was diagnosed with cancer while under contract. He and his girlfriend later started a fundraising page asking fans to help pay for his treatments, which upset people in management because they thought it made the company look bad.
Having little regard for the safety of their employees. Incidents include allowing an NFL player with no training whatsoever to basically drop a wrestler directly on his head and sending another guy out for a match while he was stoned off his ***.
The reason why Hernandez was contacted to return to Impact was because one of the wrestlers on the roster wanted to work with him by the ring name of MVP. After that whole contract issue went down, Impact placed the blame on MVP instead of anyone backstage and fired him.
