I'm not going to comment on a legal battle, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. As I said, I'm not going to comment on a legal battle.

Double J's 5 year plan create as many wrestling companies as he can and sell them to anthem. Ring Ka King and All Wheels Wrestling are next to be sold.

Wasn't the 5 year plan the name of Stalin's program to modernize soviet Russia?

I'm not going to lie to you, it's sort of tight but the support is going to be great and our ass won't be too exposed. Anthem: Are you describing your wife bra and panty set? Jeff: Of course not (puts it back in the drawer), are you buying my pitch?

Starting companies prepare themselves to lose money in order to make money in the future.
TNA's plan is lose money in order to lose more money.

That... That is not true at all. It depends on the terms of the agreement. Like, right off the top of my head, Konami was the initial publisher for Skullgirls, but they don't own it and never owned it. Exactly. There's three trillion creator-owned comics that are wholly-controlled by the writers and artists, not the publisher that issued them. KISS owns their songs, not the record company.

By Jarrett's logic, Pop TV is the real owner of the Broken Hardy stuff as well as everything else Impact has done in the past year and a half, because his idiotic, reductionist understanding of publishing rights as the whole of IP law is hilariously malformed.

In Jeff Jarrett's defense, he mostly specializes in bird law.

All that effort and money spent fighting for the rights could had been used for something else. But TNA this is the same company that sued WWE for telling them that a former TNA employee was trying to give them inside info on TNA contracted talents when they didnt have to tell the bastards.

Jeff succeeds in spite of himself, which is why I can't give him credit for pulling off some startlingly amazing con here. It took him finding an absolute dumbass to be the third person in the world to care about GFW, not some great hustle. Money on dumbass lawsuits and shit like paying J-Woww 15k for an appearance against Jersey Shore's time slot are things TNA sees as a good idea and not reasons why it's a miracle they're not six feet in the ground.

TNA botches its own demise. Better companies died from less things that TNA keeps surviving from.

Like, right off the top of my head, Konami was the initial publisher for Skullgirls, but they don't own it and never owned it. Oh come on, he's right, that's why the record company constantly allowed Led Zeppelin's music to be used in movies, television, and commercials. Can you imagine if the record company didn't own the rights, and Zeppelin owned the rights? Their music would rarely be licensed. And it's why Disney bought Star Wars from Fox, and not George Lucas. Don't know why Fox would sell off the franchise, but, hey, these things happen. I just hope George got a little bit of money from that.

Wasn't the 5 year plan the name of Stalin's program to modernize soviet Russia? No that was Mao Zedong with China. Though whatever bullshit scheme that Jarret has cooked up will suffer the same fate as Mao's first 5 year plan. Meaning that it will be a monumental disaster/f*** up of epic proportions that somehow only ends up making everything 10 times worse than it was before.

Double J is a hell of a con/salesman. I think people need to remember that applying for a trademark first does not mean it is granted there and then unconditionally, there is a long road ahead for the Hardys and Anthem and by the time it's done the gimmick will be worthless. How long it takes is besides the point. If you want to keep possession of something so that nobody else uses it, or even say that you own it in talent's contracts, you need to have proof that you own it for it to hold up in any way. WWE puts the trademarks in for every possible phrase, name and statement humanly possible months in advance because they can use that later or have it ready when the time comes. Should the Hardys have done the same if there was that intention, sure, but at the end of the day, it's about putting up or shutting up. The company owns it? Great, show the damn paperwork.

Dixie's 5 year plan:
Year 1-5: Do stuff badly.
Jarrett's 5 year plan:
Year 1-5: Let's see if we can do it even worse.

Odds are there's gonna be lots and lots of power struggle and invasion angles, 'cause that's the only thing they try to do.
