Bloomberg News is featuring an article about a new lawsuit being filed against WWE by Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka and a host of other veteran talent claiming the company “hid the long-term effects of neurological injuries” after lengthy wrestling careers.
The lawsuit accuses WWE of failing to care for head injuries suffered by former talent “in any medically competent or meaningful manner” and for concealing the nature of long-term neurological injuries that were suffered as a result of wrestling.
WWE issued the following statement feeling confident it will be dismissed.
“This is another ridiculous attempt by the same attorney who has previously filed class action lawsuits against WWE, both of which have been dismissed. A federal judge has already found that this lawyer made patently false allegations about WWE, and this is more of the same.”
Chris Harrington provided the following list of plaintiffs named in the lawsuit to The Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online in addition to Snuka being identified earlier.
