Jeff Jarrett & GFE Denied Expedited Discovery In GFW Master Tapes Lawsuit
Monday, Jeff Jarrett and Global Wrestling Entertainment were seeking an order from the United States District Court of Tennessee regarding the Global Force Wrestling master copies, requesting an expedited discovery regarding the masters while also requesting ruling requiring Impact Wrestling’s parent company Anthem Sports & Entertainment to allow them access to the masters so they can be copied as Jarrett’s side has filed a copyright on each hour of footage. According to Pwinsider.com, the court denied that order, ruling that it has not even been confirmed that Anthem has even been officially served with the lawsuit. The site adds that the motion wasn’t even sent to Anthem’s attorney, but a registered agent for Anthem. The court noted that even if they ruled in Jarrett’s favor, they would have no idea who to send the order to, since there are not attorneys attached to the Anthem side. The court also ruled that the original motion featured no “memorandum of law” attached that would prove GFE and Jarrett’s arguments.

“Several Levels” Of Security Added To ‘All In’ Following Jacksonville Shooting
Cody Rhodes says they’ve added “several levels” of security to All In on Saturday due to the recent shooting at a Madden tournament in Jacksonville that left two people dead.
Rhodes participated in an AMA on Reddit and was asked if he and The Young Bucks beefed up security at the upcoming event due to 24-year-old David Katz shooting fellow gamers at GLHF Game Bar on Sunday, then killing himself.
“Security was beefy from the jump,” Cody replied. “But we’ve added several levels and the building is an incredibly secure and disciplined building.”
The Florida shooting also left 10 people injured from gunshots and one with a non-gunshot injury.

Drew Gulak demands another championship opportunity:
Despite a losing effort against WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander at SummerSlam, Drew Gulak has not given up on his quest for a better WWE 205 Live. Believing The Soul of WWE 205 Live got lucky at The Biggest Event of the Summer, Gulak announced his intentions for a rematch.
However, The Philadelphia Stretcher was not satisfied with just waiting for an answer from WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick. As Akira Tozawa prepared to face Colin Delaney, they were attacked by The Brian Kendrick, Gentleman Jack Gallagher and Gulak. Calling out Alexander, Gulak demanded a rematch for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship and declared there would be no peace on WWE 205 Live until he got what he wanted. When the champion confronted Gulak, Maverick and WWE officials did their best to diffuse the situation, but Gulak slipped away when Alexander made his way into the ring.
Alexander has never been one to back down from a challenge and could request that Maverick grant the rematch in an effort to finally silence Gulak.
