According to Sean Ross Sapp on the Fightful Select Backstage Q&A Podcast, it was noted that individuals were upset upon learning that the letter had been leaked. Others remarked that the letter did not reflect a collaborative effort and, therefore, did not represent the views of everyone involved.
It was clarified that the intention was never to speak for the entire group but rather to convey the sentiments of several TNA talents, who were all loyal to Scott D’Amore.
”There were some unhappy that the letter got out. There were some that said, “well this wasn’t a collaborative effort, so it didn’t represent all of us.” Which it was never said to represent everybody. It represented several TNA talents. But was actually sent and there are a lot of people loyal to Scott.”
