In a post on their official social channels, IWTV (IndependentWrestling.TV) issued a statement after news emerged today that there had been a settlement in the lawsuit between themselves and GCW (Game Changer Wrestling).

The statement reads, “IndependentWrestling.tv (IWTV) is pleased to announced that it has settled its lawsuit with Game Changer Wrestling (GCW). This settlement verifies IWTV’s contention that GCW should be held accountable to the agreement which they had previously signed with IWTV. The lawsuit was never over ownership of the video footage – as IWTV partners can attest, the IWTV agreements clearly state that the promoters retain all rights, title, and interest to the programs.

Rather than continue to waste time and money on legal fees, which could be better spent on boosting independent wrestling and our independent wrestling partner promotions, IWTV has agreed to accept a series of eight GCW live events which will be shown EXCLUSIELY on IWTV as well as distributed on DVD and BluRay via SmartMarkVideo.

IWTV wants to take this moment to thank its fans and its partner promotions for staying loyal to independent wrestling and to IWTV during this period. With this distraction finally removed, we now look forward to years of streaming the best of independent wrestling from our partner promotions.“
