Eric Bischoff Comments on His Ongoing Litigation With TNA Wrestling

March 25, 2017 | Posted by Jeffrey Harris

– During the latest edition of his Bischoff on Wrestling podcast, Eric Bischoff discussed his ongoing litigation with TNA Wrestling. As previously reported, His lawyer in the case recently filed for a default judgment in the case for unpaid money. You can check out the highlights below.

Eric Bischoff on his current litigation with TNA: “Jason Hervey and I of course have Bischoff-Hervey Entertainment. Our company is the company that contracted with TNA originally back in 2011. The letter your referencing wasn’t a “letter” it was a motion that was filed in Nashville circuit county court. I think it’s Davidson County. Once a motion like that is filed it becomes public domain. Anyone who is interested can find their way to the Davidson County Circuit Court Clerk and find a way to get those documents. It’s called a “Motion To Compel.” There are all other sorts of motions associated with that. Essentially we’ve been trying to resolve this issue quietly through the court system for quite awhile. TNA and their legal representatives just continue to fail to produce documents and fail to show up at hearings. Basically fail to do anything. So our lawyer just decided enough is enough and filed the appropriate motions and the documents will speak for themselves.”

Bischoff on how there’s a lot he can’t talk about right now: “I don’t have to preface it but it’s my way of letting everyone know. There’s a lot of things I can’t talk about right now. It’s no secret I am in litigation with them. It’s been public knowledge for quite awhile. When you are in the middle of litigation you live in a tight little box. You can only talk about things in the public domain. You are not allowed to talk about things outside the public domain. It falls under the “confidentiality provision” in an agreement where someone can claim that they are. Rather than deal with all that muck and mire I just play it straight, stay in my little box and only talk about things out in the public domain.”
