As someone who attended two of those tapings, I can assure you that this was no huge loss.
I mean, they weren't atrocious or anything (other than Karen Angle's "you know who our husbands are?" promo), but nobody was ever going to pay a dime for Nick Aldis vs. Chris Masters or Gallows and Anderson vs. Killer Elite Squad.

TNA exists only to entertain us with stories like this.

Jarretts fault for not having backups. Anthem pretty much "buried" GFW content. He had to hand over any and all master tapes of GFW over to Anthem when that merger stuff all happened. I think if they found out he had back ups still, he'd have been sued for it. |

It's been a good long while since we've had some quality LOLTNA, and these f***ing morons pulling a BBC more than qualifies.

I cannot fathom how anyone can read that and not sympathize entirely with Jarrett.
I hope he kicks their asses in court.

Oh TNA, it's been so long since you've done something legendarily stupid, I missed you.

Now the Doctor Who fans are gonna laugh at us. Just this week, Mission To The Unknown, a long-since-destroyed story from 1965 that led into The Daleks' Master Plan was painstakingly recreated by University Of Central Lancaster students, featuring two of the original actors, as well as current Dalek performer Nicholas Briggs. There is a very real chance that in the near future, it will be easier to watch Mission To The Unknown than GFW Amped. What a world we live in. I can't wait for 2073 when a bunch of bored college students, backyarders, and the duct-taped remains of TJ Perkins re-enact a GFW show. |

Jarretts shouldve had a copy of the GFW stuff, its not Anthems fault Jarrett was a moron for not having data backup, also him believing the GFW stuff was more worthy than all of WCW, thats bllshit tbh. |

Not but it doesn't work that way. You don't sell someone your masters and then keep the masters. That would create a slew of legal messes for Jarrett if it came out he had an illegal copy sitting around, that's not even remotely okay and it would open Jarrett up to immediate issues of breach of contract to a business deal he had every reason to want to see go through. There's also no reason he could have expected TNA, through either malice or incompetence, to delete the masters. That's not something anyone would expect anywhere form a company producing television in an age where digital storage is so cheap and accessible. Trying to conflate anything to the dolar value WWE bought the WCW tape library for is a problem, that was such a weird and unique situation of Warner so desperately underselling to get rid of it, and putting that on him like he believed that GFW was more worthy than WCW is a big stretch. Like there's really nothing here that tracks, the thing you say he should have done would have been illegal as balls. |

While the GFW footage isn't worth as much as Jarrett is claiming, it's still ridiculous that Anthem would delete the masters.

Off topic, I'm curious on the condition of the master of TNA own Episodes and PPV. Hopefully they still have all the master since that the only thing of TNA that is actually worth anything.

Even if there's zero value in them right now, I have no clue why they'd delete them. WWE will eventually want every bit of wrestling content for their network. You'd think they'd keep the masters on the off chance WWE would throw a few grand at them for it.

Mediocre content is still content, and worth considerably more than blanks.
Impact did something really stupid and wasteful here, there's no getting around that.

That's actually probably the bigger story here in the long run, since who knows what else Anthem would designate as taking up too much space on a hard drive. They could have potentially wrecked one of their most valuable assets, and it would take a long time before anyone knew about it, especially if they were to attempt to sell portions or the whole of their content library. |

Only if we take it at face value; what they're claiming is dumb, but TNA is owned by a TV company. It wouldn't be a stretch in my mind for them to have deleted the masters for more spiteful reasons after the Jarrett deal fell through, where they just didn't care about preserving the footage and decided to be dicks about it. "We deleted the masters in the natural course of business" is a nightmare sentence and it sounds like a load of horseshit on some levels. |
