Rob Van Dam addresses his contract status with TNA

Rob Van Dam posted an audio recording on iPadio, and briefly addresses his contract status with TNA towards the end of the recording, as well as other things.

"Of course, I have been reading a lot of tweets concerning my contract as of late with TNA. Questions such as, 'Is it true your contract is up?', 'Has your contract expired?', 'Are you re-signing with TNA?','Are you joining WWE?','What's the deal?' I appreciate all of the questions and I'm happy you brought it up, happy to address it - just not right now. I plead the Fifth due to the grounds that it may be detrimental to my ongoing business affairs. Thank you for understanding and very soon, we'll talk about just that."
