BloodSport: Tossed WWE Concussion Suit Becomes Triple Threat Match

Note: The WWE lawsuit has been subject to widespread media attention, much of it noting the apparent lack of civility amongst the Court and the attorneys. As attorneys we are advocates and mouth pieces for our clients whose role is to present the facts and legal arguments to the courts. The injured wrestlers claims have tragically been buried under this mountain of distraction. As I have said at every opportunity the case is about the wrestlers. It is really the WWE that benefits from this circus-like back and forth that has turned the legal struggle into more of a storyline than a measured deliberation about the WWE’s historical failures to maintain workplace safety and the long term health issues including drug and alcohol addiction and neurological diseases that impact the wrestlers in these cases.
