The first show back in the covid era had a Brian Pillman Jr match. I have never seen a lazier performance in a wrestling match.

The latest Observer says WWE wants to use MLW as their sub-NXT like Evolve so probably not for much longer.

getting caught up on all this weekend's indie shows.

No Peace Underground continues to be a surprisingly well produced spectacle. They got Parrow doing really great deathmatches, including beating on Tremont's trainee trio. Also heel Effy. Gay carnage. And that was the first 20 minutes.

Well, this stinks!

https://www.timesleader.com/news/1495263/local-pro-wrestling-production-company-sues-nj-wrestling-outfit posted:

A city-based wrestling-focused video production company has sued a New Jersey independent wrestling group, accusing the latter of breaching their contract by holding pay-per-view events.

IndependentWrestling.TV claims it might be out a half a million dollars over the alleged breach of contract.

IndependentWrestling.TV, which has a home address of 67-69 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, filed the suit on Friday through their attorney, Lars H. Anderson, of the Kingston-based Hourigan, Kluger & Quinn.

According to the suit, IndependentWrestling.TV entered into a contract with Game Changer Wrestling, based out of Haddonfield, N.J., on March 19, 2020.

The suit suggests that IndependentWrestling.TV would film, produce and distribute the New Jersey company’s professional wrestling bouts.

The suit says that IndependentWrestling.TV and Game Changer wrestling had agreed to terms that included IndependentWrestling.TV having exclusive rights to hold pay-per-view events for Game Changer.

But, the suit alleges, Game Changer changed their minds.

“On Dec. 1, 2020, (Game Changer) informed (IndependentWrestling.TV) to breach the distribution agreement by producing and live streaming (Game Changer’s) pay-per-view events through an alternate platform,” the suit says.

The suit goes on to say that Game Changer proceeded to have a total of 36 pay-per-view events between Dec. 5 and May 15, and IndependentWrestling.TV says these “were a violation of the signed distribution agreement between the parties.”

IndependentWrestling.TV claims it notified Game Changer of the alleged breach of contract, but that the pay-per-view events continued to occur.

The suit says that damages cannot be calculated until Game Changer provides the full amount of revenue garnered by the pay-per-view events, “but it is believed the damages are in excess of $500,000.”

The suit is asking a Luzerne County judge to enter a judgement in favor of IndependentWrestling.TV. No lawyer of record was listed in the document for the New Jersey company.

Is it just me or does this seem like an open and shut case for IWTV? GCW's run a hell of a lot of iPPVs since the pandemic hit.

I think one thing that makes it hard is IWTV claiming that they lost a potential $500k from this. They don't run on-demand shows or PPVs, they charge a flat monthly fee. Can they prove that enough people ended their subscriptions to the tune of $500k?

It seems very cut and dry that GCW breached the contract based on the small bit of info in the article, but it seems hard to determine actual damages for the type of business model IWTV runs.

36 PPV events in that timeframe seems wild but they're probably counting each show from the 24-hour marathon

I'm guessing they could argue that every GCW buy would have translated to a new subscription for IWTV.

I'm confused about the dates though. They entered this agreement on 3/19/2020, but they're looking at shows from 12/15/2020 and on. I know GCW ran plenty of PPVs on Fite in the time between, right?

e: added years because I know I'm gonna confuse myself without them

I think that's when GCW tried to get out of the contract, I remember some "don't trust nobody" style tweets coming from them near the end of the year.

people who rightfully had a contract ignored him which is something they have a right to do

i mean i already knew that Brett Lauderdale was an idiot from when he said the n-word, but this confirms it.

oh and too dumb to get a lawyer.

good dude don't always translate to smart.

also until i get some clarification on the audio of him very clearly saying the N word that somehow drastically changes the context and makes it okay, like a gun was to his head forced to say it, he's a piece of poo poo.

GCW is probably going to die from this lawsuit. i will feel sympathy for the wrestlers and absolutely zero for Brett.
