  J. Sports & Entertainment LLC Files Lawsuit Against Marketing & PPV Consultant; Consultant Did Not Disclose Relationship With World Wrestling Entertainment
  
  NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- J. Sports & Entertainment LLC (JSE), announced today that they have filed suit against Jay Hassman, BTP Consulting, Len Sabal, Hassman's associate, and K-4 LLC for fraud and breach of contract with regard to their marketing and consulting services for NWA-TNA: Total Nonstop Action, the new weekly pay-per-view wrestling series.
  
  JSE terminated their professional services agreement with Hassman and BTP Consulting on July 15, 2002. The suit, filed in Circuit Court for Davidson County, Tennessee, alleges Hassman conspired to defraud JSE by concealing pertinent information necessary to JSE's business operations.
  
  Specifically, the complaint alleges that Hassman failed to disclose his affiliation with Team Services, a company which markets the competing World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) pay-per-view programming. The suit further contends that Hassman conspired to defraud JSE by providing false information about the extent of marketing of the NWA-TNA pay-per-view programs, the availability of the NWA-TNA pay-per-view programs, and about the actual number of pay-per-view buys for NWA-TNA.
  
  J. Sports & Entertainment LLC recently launched the NWA-TNA: Total Nonstop Action pay-per-view wrestling series that broadcasts live every Wednesday night. The series represents the first weekly original programming available exclusively on PPV. For more information on NWA-TNA: Total Nonstop Action, log onto http://www.nwatna.com.
