NWA Lutte Internationale Press Release on the Dino Bravo/WWF situation

NWA Lutte Internationale promoter Frank Valois released this statement, earlier today.

 

"We were made aware in the last few days that Dino Bravo has appeared on World Wrestling Federation programming while he was still under contract with NWA Lutte Internationale. In fact, Mr. Bravo still had contractual obligations that he refused to fulfill by no-showing TV tapings & live events in the last 7 days. Lutte Internationale and the National Wrestling Alliance did not authorize this Dino Bravo appearance on WWF programming. Therefore, Dino Bravo was under breach of his contract with Lutte Internationale. We also consider that Mr. Vincent K. McMahon has tampered with Mr. Bravo, given his contract situation.

 

After discussing with our team of lawyers and visiting multiple options, we have chosen to not go forward with a possible lawsuit against Vince McMahon, Dino Bravo and the World Wrestling Federation. However, effective immediately, all World Wrestling Federation contracted talents are hereby BANNED from appearing on any NWA Lutte Internationale events, unless they cut ties with the World Wrestling Federation. Therefore, Lutte Internationale has rescinded their invitation to Vince McMahon to send talents for the Johnny Rougeau Memorial Cup in May 1985. We will reveal in the next month the new format of the tournament. The only current WWF talent exempt from this ban is Andre the Giant, because of the specifics of his freelance contract around the world. Therefore, we can confirm that Andre the Giant's invitation to appear in the Johnny Rougeau Memorial Cup still stands and we're hopeful that he will accept this invitation.

 

No comments on this matter will be made going forward by Frank Valois or any other NWA Lutte Internationale talent or official."

RE: Dino Bravo

​It has come to our attention that NWA Lutte International has filed outrageous and egregious claims agains the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and Dino Bravo (Adolfo Bresciano). ​It is in relation to these incredulous statements that the WWF will be serving Lutte International with a gag order on the matter. Neither the WWF nor Mr. Bravo, in any way, tampered with contracts or acted unlawfully in this matter. It was clearly pointed out that Dino Bravo was in negotiations with the WWF when Lutte International opened and Mr. Bravo then sought the opportunity to go back and work for the WWF at the appropriate time. There was no signed agreement for set dates with Lutte International that the WWF knew about, thus they were able to offer Mr. Bravo a guaranteed deal for select dates. Should Mr. Bravo perform to his potential, the WWF would then offer him a full time contract to work for the company. It is with that evidence that the WWF will file a lawsuit against NWA Lutte International if the company and Frank Valois continue to defame or try to disparage the brand, World Wrestling Federation.
