HARDCORE HOMECOMING CANCELS SUNDAY'S EVENT IN BUFFALO, NY By: Joey Styles 9/14/2005 12:50:10 PM
HardcoreHomecoming.com has already been changed to reflect the cancellation of this Sunday's event at The Burt Flickenger Athletic Center in Buffalo, NY leaving two remaining dates this Friday in Cleveland and this Saturday in Monaca, PA (outside of Pittsburgh).
I was told by someone involved with Hardcore Homecoming that the venue had been contacted by WWE and told that Hardcore Homecoming was infringing on their trademarks and intellectual property. As a result, the venue demanded a letter of idemnification that stated that Hardcore Homecoming would be responsible if any legal action was taken against the Flickenger Center. I was also told that WWE used their clout with the New York State Athletic Commission to make things as difficult as possible for Hardcore Homecoming.
WWE made it clear that they did not want these events to occur and apparently has been successful in getting one of the three cancelled.
For the record, I was not scheduled to appear at any of these events so my contractual obligations to WWE were not an issue in this situation.
