Reason Why Jeff Hardy Was Able To Use ‘Obsolete’ Reference
Last Monday on Raw, Matt and Jeff Hardy were cutting a promo to discuss their Raw Tag Team Championship Ironman match at Great Balls of Fire, and the direction of the team going forward. During the promo, Jeff stated that some assumed that they “would fade away and classify themselves as obsolete.”
As seen of various occasions, anything relating to the “Broken Hardys” gimmick, due to the IP tie-up with Anthem/GFW is at a standstill. WZ reported the Jeff Jarrett conference call in which he stated, “The ownership always lies with the publisher, and that’s not new to this industry, or intellectual property law.” However, the reason why Jeff was able to use that line, according to PWInsider, is because he wrote the song. As a result, he could use that as simply reciting lyrics.
Matt & Reby Hardy Give Update on ‘Broken’ Dispute
Also during the conference call, Jarrett stated. “…hats off to those guys in the performance, but it goes to the ownership, and there’s multiple writers. There’s writers who were a part of the ‘Broken Brilliance,’ that it’s very obvious that they’re no longer with the company. Matt Conway and Billy Corgan, to be exact. But you have Jeremy Borash, Jimmy Long, and Matt [Hardy], and Jeff [Hardy]. So there were a group of writers, without question.”
According to Matt & Reby Hardy, an agreement was reached last week, which also included a clause that Reby would be fined $5,000 every time she said something disparaging about TNA. Matt emphasized that Reby has not said anything for weeks, but Anthem continues to stall on their end of the deal.
True. @EdNordholm & @LeonardAsper could end this issue, we've been willing to. Reby's been peaceful for WEEKS while they blatantly stall. https://t.co/R0i2qSCEYa
