Jeff Jarrett & GFW File Lawsuit Against Impact Wrestling Owners

Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling have filed a lawsuit against Impact Wrestling’s parent company, Anthem Sports & Entertainment.

Jarrett has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit stating that Anthem has been making money off of GFW content since the merger between the two sides fell apart last year.

The lawsuit alleges that Anthem “reproduced, distributed, publicly displayed, offered for sale, and sold the GFW Amped content without providing any compensation or royalties to GFE or Mr. Jarrett.”

Jarrett’s lawyers are also alleging the Global Wrestling Network, stating it is too similar to GFW’s intellectual property.

Lawyers for Jarrett released the following statement to media:

“Mr. Jarrett does not have a comment on this case but we look forward to our day in court before the jury.”

It is mentioned in the lawsuit that they are seeking a trial by jury.

Jarrett was fired from his position with Impact Wrestling last October. He subsequently entered a rehab program and has returned to in-ring competition this year.

Jarrett won the AAA World Heavyweight title in June last year. He defeated Rey Wagner and Rey Mysterio Jr in a triple threat match at Verano De Escandalo. He is expected to defend the title against Fenix in the near future.
