WWE OBTAINS FEDERAL INJUNCTION ALLOWING CONFISCATION OF COUNTERFEIT MERCHANDISE
World Wrestling Entertainment successfully obtained an injunction order in the United States District Court of New Jersey on 4/15 in order to prevent distribution and sale of counterfeit items bearing the WWE name or any of its trademarks and copyrights over the next year. The order would also allow WWE and local authorities to confiscate any counterfeit items found being sold by bootleggers. WWE.
The injunction noted that counterfeit merchandise was found being sold on the grounds of MetLife Stadium on 4/7 for Wrestlemania 35 and it was expected that such illegal sales would continue over the next year within a three-mile radius of WWE's live events.
The Court ruled, "(a) WWE is likely to succeed in showing that Defendants have used counterfeit or infringing marks in connection with the sale, offering for sale or distribution of goods or services; (b) WWE will suffer immediate and irreparable injury and will have no adequate remedy at law if this Court declines to grant a preliminary injunction and order of seizure; (c) the harm to WWE should this Court not grant the requested preliminary injunction and order of seizure clearly outweighs any harm which Defendants might incur if the preliminary injunction and order of seizure is granted; (d) the public interest is served with the issuance of the preliminary injunction and order of seizure."
The injunction ordered that "Federal, state, and local law enforcement officers are hereby authorized and directed to seize any and all Counterfeit Merchandise and any records documenting the manufacture, sale or receipt of the Counterfeit Merchandise, in the possession, dominion or control of Defendants, their agents or persons acting in concert or participation with them. All seized items shall be delivered up to the care and custody of Plaintiff or Plaintiff’s attorneys pending further instructions from the Court. The seized goods shall be kept in identifiable containers."
Anyone caught selling WWE merchandise has been ordered to provide their correct name and address, to appear before the court to defend themselves and to provide all details on any additional material they know is being sold.
WWE filed an injunction bond in the amount of $10,000 and the order will remain in effect until March 2020, at which point WWE will likely pursue a similar order in Florida, where Wrestlemania 36 will be held. WWE annually attempts to obtain such injunctions to attempt to slow the tide of counterfeit merchandise featuring their performers, copyrights and trademarks.

How Much Money Are WWE Developmental Talents Paid?
New WWE talents that are signed to developmental contracts are paid on average $50,000 to $150,000 per year, according to the new WWE feature in Sports Business Journal. The average pay for developmental talents is around $80,000 per year.
It was also noted that talent salaries can climb into the seven figures if they make it to the top of the company on RAW or SmackDown.
Triple H spoke with SBJ and said talents are taught technique, timing, camera awareness and presence, and how to avoid injury once signed.(More like the 'WWE Way" of how they do it).
"It's the emotional storytelling," Triple H said. "We are way more akin to 'Rocky' the movie than boxing, from the shooting and production of it." (That's laughable since the 'storytelling' of the main roster is pathetic at best, and all promos are written for the performers. HHH needs to stop lying like this).
How Bad Is It For Impact Being On The Pursuit Channel? Here's A Great Example.
Since it’s been a couple of months, I just want to point out how bad it is that The Pursuit Channel, which is partially OWNED by Anthem, still has yet to be able to correct their cable and satellite guide listings to properly show that Impact Wrestling is a two-hour series. We continue to receive complaints about the issue from readers with different providers and again, this week, on my own provider, Sprectrum (Charter), doesn't even have the channel listed,another provider, Verizon Fios, the series is listed for 30 minutes with 3 replays, which means that if you don’t add time to your DVR (or pay attention enough to care), you'll end up with 30 minutes and nothing more of the show. I know that Impact management has been well aware of the issue and the channel is slow to respond to requests, but at this point, it’s beyond terrible that nothing has been fixed. I feel bad for the company as they obviously aren’t getting the proper support from a network that shares the same parent company ownership.
But they chose this because really, no other channel wanted them so this is how bad it's gotten, and it doesn't look like it's going to get any better any time soon.
