Eric Bischoff Requesting Default Judgment in Lawsuit Against Impact Wrestling

March 21, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

– Eric Bischoff may win his lawsuit against Impact Wrestling by no-show. Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that Bischoff Hervey Entertainment and Garret Bischoff, who filed a breach of contract suit in 2015 for $114,500.02 in unpaid money, has now filed a motion in Davidson County Court asking for a default judgment.

According to the site, the motion claims that Impact officials had failed to produce required documents or appear for a deposition that was scheduled for last year. The motion claims that the company’s lawyer informed them that he doesn’t have the documents required and may withdraw from the case.

The motion states, “Due to all the circumstances surrounding this matter and the continual delay of Defendant in participating in the case, Plaintiffs request that this court enter an order striking the Defendant’s answer and enter a default judgement in this case … as well as award Plaintiff its fees and expenses incurred as a result.”

Impact Wrestling has until April to respond to the motion, after which a judge will hear the matter.
