Reby Hardy Allows Lawyer To See Text Messages From Impact Lawsuit

Impact Wrestling President Ed Nordholm has made it clear that the Hardys gimmick “broken” is their property that they own the rights to. He had this to say in a recent interview with LAW: 
“I think it’s unquestionable that the ownership of the characters in the storyline resides in Impact Wrestling,” Nordholm said. “I don’t think even the Hardys would dispute that. They’ve all signed contracts. Their contracts are standard contracts. Not only in the wrestling industry, but in the entertainment industry, generally, the producer of the show owns the content and it doesn’t really matter who in the creative team came up with the idea of what the character should be. The person that owns the storyline and the character is the person who invested in taking that idea and put it on TV. That’s what we did. Impact put those characters on TV, and the contracts with those people are indisputably contracts that provide their IP to Impact.”
Zeb Colter, who is the head of the creative department at Impact, responded on Twitter

NEWS: Thanks @EdNordholm for clearing it up on @LAWradio. @IMPACTWRESTLING owns BrokenBrilliance IP 100%. No dispute.@RealJeffJarrett

Guys. Giving an “interview” to YOUR OWN NETWORK while lying through your teeth is now considered “NEWS:” ?????? https://t.co/TCP81KysBW
