TNA files a lawsuit against WWE

[Snowman1]

TNA filed a lawsuit in Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday against WWE and former office worker for both companies, Brian Wittenstein, according to the Nashville City Paper website. TNA alleges that Wittenstein shared contractual information that he had gathered during his time with TNA (from 2008 to 2011) with WWE, where he worked briefly in 2012.

"This wrongful disclosure and misappropriation allows WWE to effectively price TNA out of the market and cause irreparable harm to TNA’s business and profitability,” the lawsuit reads. "WWE now knows the confidential details of TNA’s business affairs including its marketing and business strategy and analysis, which leaves TNA vulnerable to WWE’s unfair position in the market. An injunction issued on Tuesday demands that WWE and Wittenstein return any confidential information he gathered during his three-year TNA employment.

WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt responded to the lawsuit. "Our reaction is that no good deed ever goes unpunished," McDevitt told the Nashville City Paper. "What the WWE did here is what you would hope any company would do in these circumstances it found itself in." To read The full story, visit Nashvillecitypaper.com.

WWE will win. :dawg: Lol @ TNA sueing though. :dawg:

I read elsewhere that WWE fired this guy for doing that, which seems odd. But either way, it was pretty unfair, but there's not much they can really do to WWE about it. If they've obtained documents, they can return them if they haven't gotten rid of them already (if not, that's what makes it weird for firing Wittenstein), but they could have always made copies or jotted it down in other ways.

Lol at TNA thinking they'll win this.

Lawls at ignorants who're laughing at TNA because think they're good attorneys and know the legal job well. Rofl. Keep trippin boys. I'm not saying who'll win this, but I know that you don't look at the size of the company, ignorants!

Translation: I'm a mad TNA mark.

I'm laughing at you and the worthless company that you support, they won't win sh*t, all they've currently won is the "Jealousy" award.

They will never get as big as WWE, so they thought filing a lawsuit could help their case in getting something to trend on Twitter, something that has the name of the company in it.

Yeah, I'm mad and hating here.:burns: Way to go Crayo.

If you actually read my post, you could see that I'm stating that you just don't know the legal side so well, whether it's TNA vs. WWE or an angry Greek vs. USA.

Keep doing it guys, changing the meaning of the posts in your favor so you can make yourself the smartest. That lasts...:haha:

What makes you think the legal side of TNA is good? They're as shitty as the company itself.

What makes you think their legal department is bad? We don't know shit about that, clearly your irrational hatred for a show you don't even watch is clouding your judgement.

Good grief.

Well, let's see how this ends. I believe nothing big will come out of this, but you never know.

Good grief indeed. :facepalm1: It's like a freaking twilight zone, brother.

The way I see it, WWE fired the mole in a timely manner and told TNA about it. Had they hidden the information, I could see TNA's point. I also don't think WWE needed the information as it's not hard for them to find out the contract status of talents. If they want someone at TNA, they go after them. They don't need inside information for that.
