Explain to me why NOAH can't show Joe/Misawa, BUT

[YouStayClassy]

....PWG and IWA-MS can sell 2007 DVDs with Samoa Joe on them.


If you don't know what I'm talking about, in January the NOAH promotion is going to release the "SPECIAL DOUBLE BUDOKAN EDITION 2" 10/27 & 12/2/2007" DVD. The main event is the highly anticipated Mitsuharu Misawa vs. Samoa Joe GHC title match.

HOWEVER, "(Due to copyright restriction, only still photos of this match appear)". That has to be the weakest thing I've ever heard of.

And yes, I know this match is pretty underwhelming, but STILL.... that question is killing me.

Those matches in PWG and IWA took place before the whole TNA talent can't appear on DVDs.

this match took place after that went into effect, plus NOAH dvds will sell on highspots.

so basically TNA has all the right in the world to not want their talent to appear on a DVD that would not benefit them, on a show that took place after TNA decided to sign TNA talents to that kind of deal

Ah, that makes complete sense. Thank you.

Do you happen to know when this rule went into effect, approximately? I would assume around May/June?

[Joekishi]

IT would have to be may/june because that's when the MCMG dropped out of PWG

[mcmahonfan85]

it was early May, because it came a few days later after ROH's Good Times, Great Memories which was on April 28

also, if you want to see Misawa vs. Joe here you go:
