14. Battle Between Matt Hardy/Reby Sky & Impact Wrestling Regarding The “BROKEN” Gimmick Continues

During a recent interview with LAW (which is owned by Impact Wrestling’s parent company Anthem), Impact Wrestling president Ed Nordholm had the following to say regarding them owning the “BROKEN” gimmick:

“I think it’s unquestionable that the ownership of the characters in the storyline resides in Impact Wrestling. I don’t think even the Hardys would dispute that. They’ve all signed contracts. Their contracts are standard contracts. Not only in the wrestling industry, but in the entertainment industry, generally, the producer of the show owns the content and it doesn’t really matter who in the creative team came up with the idea of what the character should be. The person that owns the storyline and the character is the person who invested to take that idea and put it on TV. That’s what we did. Impact put those characters on TV, and the contracts with those people are indisputably contracts that provide their IP to Impact.”

Below is what Dutch Mantel (f.k.a Zeb Colter in WWE), who is the Impact Wrestling Creative Consultant to Head of Creative, tweeted regarding this:
