As the legal battle between Impact Wrestling and The Hardys continues it appears The Hardys have hired legal representation as Reby Hardy Tweeted the following:
“From now on, someone will be speaking for us regarding the ridiculous situation we’ve been put in. And not on twitter. Thx for the support.”
Reby also posted the following on Twitter, noting Impact Wrestling had sent The Hardys a legal proposal regarding use of the “Broken” gimmick:
UPDATE: TNA sent an absolutely laughable legal proposal re: trademark, usage & ownership. Sigh.
We tried to play nice. Truly.
Oh well.— Reby Hardy (@RebyHardy) March 18, 2017

Fun facts ! Maxel was never legally cleared to work/appear on camera. Wanna check them TV child labor laws & get back to me, TNA ?

Fun facts ! I filed for the #BROKEN trademark when all the shady business from JJ & Anthem got back to me, WEEKS before his contract was up.

If owning my husband was that important, why not file/apply – oh, I don’t know – BEFORE his contract was up ? BEFORE you found out I did ?

How about every other former talent still working under their “TNA name” & gimmick without issue. Wouldn’t that look weird in court ? Yeah.. pic.twitter.com/kNuaTTcyty
