TNA To Sue WWE Over Ric Flair?

[Arrow1]

"The argument could be made that TNA has the legal right to sue WWE since they are using a contracted TNA performer to draw ticket sales and DVD sales for the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame with Ric Flair being inducted with The Four Horsemen.

According to The Wrestling Observer, No word yet if TNA will pursue any kind of action against WWE but as of earlier this week, they had not made any decision. It's possible TNA could work out a deal where WWE would pay them a settlement for their usage of Flair.

For what it's worth, Ric Flair has admitted privately that the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame appearance is not a done deal legally and referred to getting TNA's approval as a "technicality."

That's going to really suck..

They won't sue.

I really think that it's just TNA's way of gaining popularity and profit out of all of this. If TNA were to sue, TNA would lose horribly, because WWE had a mass ammount of lawyers.... (Not Otunga).

 

[Crayo]

Otunga would own their asses!

 

[Arrow1]

Well, he is a real lawyer

 

[Crayo]

He's studied it, didn't think he was a real lawyer?

Yeah, but his position right now is just Kayfabe. He isn't a lawyer for WWE is he?

I doubt they'll sue tbh. The WWE will only show footage they own so it's not like they're breaching any copyright. Worst case scenario Vince will have to give TNA a small down payment.

Like that'll hurt Vince any, @[seabs].

Didn't he buy 3 Ferraris recently? I think you're right.

Haha yes he did indeed.

I honestly don't think Flair would allow them to do that, judging by an interview I read somewhere on him describing how happy he was for it to happen.

Wasn’t Ric Flair at the Hall Of Fame Ceremony last year for HBK’s Induction? He was on stage and everything, so if it wasn’t a problem then why is it a problem now?

 

[Adulator]

Why would they want to do that

Because he'll be inducted so TNA could see it as WWE trying to draw tickets by his presence.
