Jeff Jarrett’s Trial

Posted: Jul 1st 2020 By: TheMix.net

There has been loads of speculation, but Jeff Jarrett’s lawsuit against Impact Wrestling is about to begin. While there is still a small chance of settlement, it looks like the court case will happen after all.

Jeff Jarrett’s lawsuit is directed at Anthem, the company behind Impact Wrestling.

Jarrett and Anthem parted on bad terms. Shortly after Impact acquired GFW, Jarrett took an indefinite leave of absence.

Shortly after leaving, Jarrett claimed Anthem continued to use tapes he had the rights too. Evidently, this led to the complicated lawsuit.

What Is The Reason For The Lawsuit?

The reason for the lawsuit? The GFW (Global Force Wrestling) master tapes, which allegedly have been deleted already.

According to Jarrett, Impact Wrestling has 16-hour long master tapes with unaired television footage. He also states that each hour equals $300,000.

After a little basic math, this means Jarrett seeks $4.8 million from Impact Wrestling. Of course, you do have to remember WWE only paid $3 million for their WCW library.

Deleting master tapes is pretty unusual though, especially for a bigger wrestling promotion with experience. But does this mean Jeff Jarrett should get compensated for his alleged loss?

As it stands, the jurors were selected on the 29th of June. Today marks the start of the trial.
