There's suddenly a lot of things happening on that show which does feel like a nice change of pace - Wrestle House; Trey Miguel (he got his last name back!) / Eddie Edwards and Deonna / Kimber Lee were definite highlights.

The verdicts for Anthem v Jeff Jarrett are inquote:*The jury ruled that Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions, LLC is liable to Plaintiff Global Force Entertainment, Inc. for federal trademark infringement of the registered mark GLOBAL FORCE WRESTLING, violation of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act, unjust enrichment, negligence, conversion, and federal unfair competition for infringement and Tennessee trademark infringement for usage of the GFW logo. quote:While the jury came back with those verdicts, they have yet to award damages or punitive damages and Anthem is attempting to have everything thrown out of court to restart the entire trial process all over again.

Can an internet lawyer please explain how "Anthem Wrestling Entertainment, LLC’s liability in this action was caused by Jeff Jarrett’s own breach of his fiduciary duty and his duty of loyalty and that Mr. Jarrett is liable to Anthem Wrestling for such breaches," exactly? If the lawsuit was about Jeff being fired and the merger being cancelled, OK, sure. But it's about Anthem/Impact using Jeff/GFW's IP without permission and negligently destroying the GFW Amp'd masters.

I was expecting the jury to rule for Jarrett and award him damages of $1 but him maybe owing Anthem money is much funnier.

I would suspect it was because he's the reason that they could no longer use that footage due to his being negligent as an employee to the extent that he was justifiably released. (no clue on the destruction bit, though)

davidbix posted:But they didn't own the footage. If we're negotiating a deal—merger, sale, licensing agreement, whatever—that would end up with you being able to use my IP and the deal flames out because I go on a bender and you cut ties, you don't get to claim ownership the IP because you not getting it was my fault...right? I'm just spitballing, but it could have been that they had invested a certain amount into rebranding under the reasonable expectation that JJ would be competent and present that, while they definitely were not legally justified in using his IP without a deal after he was gone, his actions were also damaging to them on some legally recognizable level. Do you recall when they announced his termination? Was it initially a suspension? Was there a delay after events? Could JJ have been stringing them along for awhile to get them to use the IP for as long as possible before pulling out and suing and/or upping the price for which he would let them use the IP? It could be that they were operating under the expectation that he was coming back for part of the period of time that they used his IP. Obviously, if the usage of his IP was predicated upon his employment, it should have ceased as soon as that employment ceased, but I don't know how long he was in limbo for, when he told them that he was revoking the IP, or what procedure was even necessary to revoke their rights. Am I correct that they never formalized the right to use it, even while he was there, but just figured that it would be no big thing since he worked there and said it was fine? Either way, it's incredibly slopped on Anthem's part to have even begun rebranding before they had a deal in place to purchase or get a long term license for the IP employed. Their immediate desire to run away from the TNA name wasn't an unnatural one, but they clearly got ahead of themselves and are now, seemingly to at least some extent, reaping what they sowed with their incompetence. It was all very needless since the value of GFW was largely nil to the public, and they could have picked any other name and, aside from a couple weeks of unification matches, it would have had equal value.

Watched the Impact replay today. It was actually quite entertaining. I don't know if I'd honestly call it GOOD, but it was... fluffy. Popcorn faire. The low-octane wrestling is taking some getting used to, I've gotten so used to PPV calibur matches just being given away on TV that readjusting to the idea of "just a TV match, save the good stuff for the big shows," is kind of hard. Not that there's nothing good in the TV matches, Purazzo's style allows for some really fun sequences even in a low key match like the one she had this week for example, but the pace is in general lower and the impact of everything is lower and that's weird when you're used to watching WWE, AEW and NJPW. I do like how the show feels very distinct from AEW and New Japan. It feels very much like its leaning hard into being cartoonish, even with its more serious elements like, say, EC3's promo or the Good Brother's main event. Sometimes goofy, sometimes melodramatic, but always pastel in one way or another. I mark that as a big point in its favor because it makes it different from the other stuff I watch and therefore I'm not sitting there asking "Why am I wasting my time on this when I could watch *blank* and get it better" I don't think I could get this particular thing anywhere else, and for the moment at least I'm enjoying that thing enough to keep sampling.

Sure, some might say that the Canadian Destroyer has been overexposed. That everyone can do it and has and now they're forced to do crazier and crazier versions of it to get a reaction. But Lacey is here to remind us that no, not EVERYONE can do it.

I think Lacey does get a lot of the blame there because she just doesn't get herself over at all. That's always been the book on the Destroyer, hasn't it? That so much of it is really the victim taking a flip. That's why so many people used to discount it as an unrealistic looking move. Lacey just doesn't get over at all. But some of it I think is also just on the setup/execution. Trey goes through the middle rope and over the top of Swann and its up to Swann to grab on and help make it happen. Naomi does a slide under the rope and like loses all momentum as she grabs Lacey and tries to make it happen. Its awkward and slower and I don't think Lacey was in as good a position as Swann to flip. But also Lacey ain't Rich Swann and I seriously doubt she could have executed that even if Naomi had done it like Trey. Assuming she could have, which I at least have more faith in than Lacey's part.

Sliding belly down on the mat kills all Naomi's momentum and like others said even if she went through the middle rope I don't think Lacey could have executed it on her end.

Fightful says they're doing a two-night event, Emergence, for their shows on the 18th and 25th https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/exclusives/impact-running-two-night-emergence-special-event-women-s-match-headlines-exclusive Nothing known so far except apparently Deonna Purrazzo defending the Knockouts title against Jordynne Grace, with some kind of stipulation, is the main event of the second night

I’d guess Edwards defends against Eric Young, to continue the ‘beat the other four guys from Slammiversary in one-on-one matches’ theme. Brian Myers probably would be for Emergence, while Ethan Carter III is the obvious opponent for Bound for Glory.

^^^ I'm ok with that, too. Eddie worked hard during those last tapings, drat. https://twitter.com/IMPACTWRESTLING/status/1291184716834410496 Unless there's something bigger planned, I feel like they could've waited with that no DQ match for Emergence? Deonna promising Kimber a title shot if she gets a win over (and softens) Jordynne before the title rematch is one of my favorite wrestling tropes.
