TNA Officials Reportedly Misrepresented Value of Stolen TNA World Title

– TNA officials reportedly deceived authorities as to the value of the TNA World Title when it was stolen. As previously reported, the belt and a replica were stolen before a house show in Ottumwa, Iowa on August 18th while props were being unloaded from a truck. TMZ had reported that according to a TNA official, the authentic belt was valued at $6,000 and was returned but sources close to the police department say those claims aren’t true.

According to the source, the police department received a proof of purchase from Wildcat Belts that showed the actual value of the title at $2,750, the same price listed on its website. The police department are also holding onto the title belts as evidence for the trial, and the source says that the belts were not stolen from the truck when a stagehand looked away as previously reported. The police source claims that TNA was not honest to TMZ so as to mitigate the company’s embarrassment.
