That's pretty generic for a trademark, even if it just applies to wrestling. I'm with it being mostly for seo burying.

is this kinda like how moxley was on bloodsport so wwe introduced a way lamer version of bloodsport for the 3 months leading up to it and immediately dropped it the week after the show

Oh noooo they can't use the Collective name anymore, has anyone trademarked "GCW: gently caress THAT OLD MAN IN HIS STUPID WITHERED rear end"

They would be stupid to spend a dime fighting for it, just let it go name your poo poo something like "Die Vince Die" and cash in on the fans that'll buy shirts like bucks cease and desist and move on.

Lauderdale tweeted/retweeted to the effect he can’t elaborate due to either a non-disclosure or non-disparagement agreement, but based on the context it seems like their deal gave IWTV the rights to the shows they coproduced with GCW and GCW found this out the hard way when they tried to do something that would’ve required holding those rights.

Comedy Baseless Speculation: Someone GCW doesn’t like is buying IWTV and their video library.

GCW was led to believe they owned the masters for every they paid to produce but it seems that is not the case.

It's definitely possible someone is trying to buy IWTV but I feel like we would have heard something if that were the case. I'm wondering if they're trying to start a collective streaming service or something and that's how this came up.

I'm honestly going to wait for more info before picking a side here because right now the story is being told exclusively from one side (the side of a company I watch every show of, but still). Who's to say Brett didn't have someone properly read the contract, or it genuinely isn't in the contract or something in between, we don't know. So I'm just going to watch it unfold for a bit before deciding who's side I'm on.

Ultimately if it means no more GCW on IWTV that eliminates a lot of the value of that service for me.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I remember being sketched about IWTV a long time ago because of who was involved but I don't remember exactly why.

I don't know what the dispute is over. If IWTV filmed, produced, hosted online, and put all the infrastructure to GCW shows they should probably retain the rights to own that footage, but GCW is owed equal degree of ownership too since they're the ones who booked and wrote the shows. Probably just your average contract dispute? :shrug:

They both put in about 50/50 in getting shows out there. Probably. Speaking as someone who's previously worked for a production company.

I believe its owned by Vin Gerard and there was a dispute early on about ownership, maybe that's why?

While IWTV is being discussed, I like their library but the app is pretty bad. If you search for specific talent on Highpots you get results as long as that talent has footage on the channel. Do the same thing with IWTV, you just get a black screen and a back button.

it's got a pretty terribly designed interface, especially in the Roku app, and the watchlist function is astonishingly hit and miss. I've been able to overlook it because of the sheer volume of content though. If they're starting to be lovely people to the companies they work with, I might have to rethink that, but obviously I have no idea what's going on behind the scenes.

Before IWTV there was Powerbomb.tv which was basically the same platform but with Adam Lash involved. Powerbomb was suddenly dissolved and IWTV created, seemingly to cut Adam out of the loop. Adam claimed to be a big part of Powerbomb and made a big stink. People didn't really care because Adam was rumored to be kind of a creep so it was funny to see him screwed over.

Wasn’t powerbomb linked to Michael Elgin somehow or am I misremembering?

I feel like there was some drama when he got outed as a bit of a poo poo.

One of the people who thought that they were an owner got turfed over criticizing the decision to stream Elgin in IWA-MS, iirc.

IWTV's iPad app is pretty terrible. It's the iPhone app that's stretched out. It didn't even fill the whole screen.

The thing that really irks me about the IWTV app is that when you're browsing promotions, they're in no discernible order. You'd think alphabetical would be the wise and easy choice. Nope!

In the Roku app, the order is the date when they last uploaded a show, which is absolutely no help to anyone.

I mean, that's most streaming services, isn't it? Clic on "movies" or "tv shows" and none of that poo poo's in alphabetical order.

It makes more sense to me with something like Netflix where it's a curated list of movies they want you to see. If I clicked on a "Hardcore Wrestling" category, I wouldn't expect to see an alphabetical list of shows. Listing all of your promotions out in a Latest Events kind of order with no option to change it is wild to me.

I find it works a lot better to just use the website in chrome on android rather than the app tbh. The live stuff especially. The Roku app seems completely slapped together and it's hard to navigate to the live button somehow
