As noted, MLW has filed a 44-page amended lawsuit against WWE which adds more detail and arguments regarding WWE’s alleged violation of the Sherman Act regarding anti-trust practices and more.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe amended lawsuit focuses its anti-trust arguments on how companies monetize their content and how WWE ices out other companies in their practices. The suit argues that pro wrestling companies need to strike media rights deals to be successful and that WWE has taken actions that make that almost impossible, which has hurt MLW and other possible competitors. It maintains its previous claims that WWE’s involvement caused the FOX-owned Tubi to cancel their contract with MLW the night before a deal was set to be announced between them, as well as the allegation that Vice backed away from a deal with MLW after a WWE executive told Vice that Vince McMahon was unhappy they were working together. The suit argues that with A\u0026amp;E owning a minority share in Vice, their connection to WWE through the WWE programming block on Sundays hurt MLW’s tanding with the network. While all the financial information from the Tubi deal and their current deal with Reelz are redacted, it is noted that:\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“In sum, WWE’s predatory and unfair anti-competitive conduct in the Relevant Market is multi-faceted, with the intent and effect of expanding and maintaining its market power. This conduct includes, but is not limited to: (1) substantially foreclosing the Relevant Market through maintaining exclusivity agreements with major media companies and interfering with competitors’ media rights deals; (2) substantially increasing barriers to entry in the Relevant Market by raising rivals’ costs and restricting their access to the critical and scarce inputs required for professional wrestling programming, namely athletic performers with the requisite physical skills, acting talent, and marketability to be professional wrestlers, including by hiring away rivals’ wrestlers and not using them and by threatening to never hire talent that previously signed with rivals (“blacklisting”); and (3) blocking and foreclosing the access of rivals to professional wrestling venues, which are necessary for the production of professional wrestling programming. The combined effect of the conduct is that WWE has maintained its dominant market power.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough its predatory and exclusionary conduct and abuse of its market power, WWE has substantially harmed competition in the Relevant Market by depriving MLW and other competitors of access to key media distribution platforms. Its conduct has harmed purchasers of media rights for professional wrestling programming by depriving them of programs and enabled WWE to impose and maintain supracompetitive prices, and in turn has harmed wrestling fans by reducing their choices and quality of professional wrestling programming and increasing their costs of consuming that content.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a result of WWE’s anti-competitive and predatory conduct, MLW and other professional wrestling promotions have suffered and will continue to suffer substantial monetary damages and irreparable harm.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lawsuit also goes into specific details regarding WWE’s alleged tampering with talent contracts, claiming that former talent relations head Canyon Ceyman encouraged Swerve Strickland to get out of his deal with MLW so he could sign with WWE. It also alleges that WWE hired Davey Boy Smith Jr. away from MLW but then never used him outside of a dark match, which they argue makes it clear that WWE was intending to impair their ability to build themselves up. PWInsider notes that Smith is not identified as a former WWE star and a WWE legacy talent, and that WWE could argue that they knew of Smith long before he worked for MLW.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe suit also points out that AEW has reached out to WWE demanding that they not tamper with talent contracts, which appears to be referencing the AEW talent meeting where Tony Khan revealed that AEW legal head Megha Parekh emailed Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan telling them to stop contacting AEW-contracted talent.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lawsuit also details some of the history of wrestling in the early 200s when WCW and ECW fell and were acquired by WWE, pointing out that WWE moving to TNN in 2000 directly contributed to ECW’s death and WWE acquiring the company’s assets in bankruptcy court.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lawsuit also makes additional allegations of WWE blocking venue bookings beyond the previously-noted claim that Triple H contacted Madison Square Garden to get the ROH/NJPW G1 Supercard blocked in 2019. The suit claims that WWE prevented AEW Dynamite tapings from taking place at Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2019 and 2020. It also argues that WWE has run events opposite AEW PPVs to attempt to prevent those shows from being profitable.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cdiv class\u003d\"blogger-post-footer\"\u003e\u003cscript expr:src\u003d'\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/Klq?i\u003d\" + data:post.url' type\u003d\"text/javascript\" charset\u003d\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c/script\u003e\u003c/div\u003e"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.klqwrestling.com/2023/03/mlws-amended-lawsuit-against-wwe.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7964262/posts/default/5421861746233967955"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7964262/posts/default/5421861746233967955"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.klqwrestling.com/2023/03/mlws-amended-lawsuit-against-wwe.html","title":"MLW’s Amended Lawsuit Against WWE, Details On Alleged Talent Tampering"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Kaliqo~"},"uri":{"$t":"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16883827855779815366"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"32","src":"//images-blogger-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/proxy?url\u003dhttp://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GAU61F_GcXw/Sq5xKvM2cyI/AAAAAAAAALA/SD6S9DAAU3M/S220-s100/allura-logo.jpg\u0026container\u003dblogger\u0026gadget\u003da\u0026rewriteMime\u003dimage/*"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964262.post-8289781401678470286"},"published":{"$t":"2022-09-30T13:01:00.002-04:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2022-09-30T13:04:29.896-04:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"WWE"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Concussion Syndrome"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"NFL"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"All Elite Wrestling"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Wrestling News"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"NWA"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Triple H"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Chris Nowinski Blasts NFL's 'Tua Disaster' While Praising Pro Wrestling Promoters"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003cdiv\u003eFans watching last night's NFL game between the Miami Dolphins and the Cincinnati Bengals witnessed a scary moment when Dolphins starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had to be carted off the field on a stretcher following a rough sack.
