iamtheman Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Vince Russo Accused Of Ripping Off A Gimmick by TNAWrestlingNews.com Staff on 07/03/2011 - 04:40 PM  1PW's Danny Rodd sent the following along:  Just wanted to let you know that an indy wrestler friend of mine is being SEVERELY ripped off by Vince Russo. His name is Justin Carnes and he IS on Facebook. He is very good friends with Rhyno and some others, has had tryouts/dark matches with TNA and also wrestled in Japan. He has wrestled with us in Toledo for Powerbomb Championship Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Ohio and many others and is VERY good. He developed the character "Krimson" (with face paint and all) nearly two years ago. Not only has Russo used the name, now Sting looks just like him! It's ridiculous. Justin is on my friends list and you can see his pics. He also has a lot of matches on YouTube. You can see THE Real Krimson here.. see if you notice anything and   Source:  http://www.tnawrestlingnews.com/headlines/311732392.shtml  so what do you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LWOLeN Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 LOL. Â The Dark Knight grossed over 1 billion dollars. Heath Ledgar won an Academy award for his performance. He made The Joker one of the most recognisable figures in the world. TNA is crearly implementing a little " Jokerism" in Stings facepoint to keep his character fresh. Just like WCW did after " The Crow" movies. Â But hey, I am probably wrong, because they are ofcourse copying some local indy wrestlers face paint....

The Miz Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 This "Krimson" looks like a Jeff Hardy / Heath Ledger's Joker rip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Sir Steve Redgrave Posted July 4, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 4, 2011 Krimson is basically a rip-off of The Joker anyway, so it's a bit of a joke that he's accusing people of ripping him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted July 4, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 4, 2011 Danny Rodd? Really? When Krimson is a rip-off of the Joker? I'm sure Vince Russo had his eyes on this Krimson guy and not the Joker from The Dark Knight. Â My guess is, since he's got to cough up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiaduck Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 It is quite ridiculous. Danny's logic here is that in January of this year, Krimson sent in a video to TNA to try and get a try out or something, and the video was a promo. In said video, he speaks just like the Joker and is wearing facepaint that's all messed up. Because Sting has turned heel 6 months later, and used smudged make up and talked like the Joker, it's clearly a stolen idea, right? Â It's an absolutely ridiculous accusation with no grounds at all because the only similarities lie within both of them being a spin on the Joker.

Nice to see Danny's got his priorities straight though and making sure all of his talent is covered.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted July 4, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 4, 2011 This would be like if Renegade was still alive, and tried to sue Batista for doing the rope-shake-thingy. Â Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicazze Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Funny thing is that Heath Ledger took elements of Brandon Lee's Crazy The crow character to reinvent the joker. Now sting who has been the crow has used both. Krimson can go to hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobberinho Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 This wouldn't have happened on arachnaman's watch, that's a certainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DJ Kris Posted July 4, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 4, 2011 Sounds to me the issue isn't just about the look, but also the name. TNA coming out with a Wrestler called "Crimson" having already been aware of "Krimson" really is taking the piss a bit, and to be honest, if it were me I'd be fucked off, but at least the same guy doesn't have the same look. But what's any of this got to do with Danny Rodd and 1PW? Â Original Krimson: Â TNA Crimson: Â Sting: Â Joker: Â I'm not really get the similarity with the look I'm affraid.

Toga Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Tis funny.. Roddz has also been spending some time emailing other promotions who have used pictures taken at 1PW and accusing them of using HIS copyrighted images and asking for money and/or the destruction of all promotional material. Â Im pretty sure the photographer owns the copyright to their work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafia Scum Scum Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 In recent weeks, Sting has changed his look to more like the Jokers, so that pic you posted is not the right image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
