Earlier this week, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com revealed Alberto Del Rio turned down a reported $400,000 contract offer from TNA as the perception in the wrestling world is that working for TNA is a “career killer.”

Former TNA X-Division Champion Manik took to Twitter and posted the following response to Meltzer’s comments:

the rumor is wrestlers consider tna a career killer.

how bout u bud Because of TNA I bought a brand new 3 story house, 2 nice cars, and boatloads of shoes, and put a bunch in my savings, and I just signed a 2 year extension and got a raise….4 years ago I was homeless.

Forget saving my career, being here has saved my life and helped me take care of my extended family who was struggling as well.

But it’s not trendy to some ppl so I guess none of that stuff counts right?

Check out the rest of Manik’s Tweets on the subject of success over at @MaskaraManik.

You tell him...um...who's playing Suicide now? TJP?

He doesn't even understand the point.

If you're a no name independent, TNA can't kill your career because... you don't have one.

All he was before he went to TNA was a jobber for ROH.

TJ always seems to have an attitude, which has gotten him in trouble before but I can understand why he would be so ticked off. He's a talented guy, and I always liked him, so no biggie about this.

It's not like he's spewing bullshit like Davey Richards always does
