I saw the list of people. Some of them do have a case, but some of them who joined are joining for easy money. The ones who i think have a case are those who wrestled for WWE the majority of their careers. If Rod Price is the guy who sold the trademark of the Last Outlaw for a developmental contract, I bet you he just wants to get back at WWE because he only lasted a few months in developmental instead of taking the money WWE offered for the trademark I can't find anything of Price having been in WWE. The closest I ever remember that he could be linked, was being in ECW, where he was like Jack Victory, a guy used basically as cannon fodder for the bad guys, when they were feuding with someone. WWE owns ECW. So suing ECW would be suing WWE

How many of these guys actually got injured while competing under a WWE contract? Not counting ECW or WCW.

Chavo Sr. wrestled 14 matches (including house shows) in his short stint, and I don't recall any mention of him having an injury so how is he even able to petition for this?! LOL I know some wrestlers have legit cases but the ones who haven't wrestled for WWE or had a short stint are laughable.

WWE owns ECW. So suing ECW would be suing WWE I'm figuring that's the logic that's being used here, it's just when you see a name like his there, who wrestled in ECW, before WWE ever owned it, with him, it screams more attempted cash grab than anything else.

Snuka clearly isn't greatful for Vince keeping him out of jail anymore. How can Snuka know that WWE is responsible for it and not all those $1 indy shows he did in his 60s, considering he was deemed not competent to stand trial? You either are not competent or you are. Which is it Snuka?

I don't think WWE owns ECW, i thought it was just their video library. I could be wrong. Seems like an awful long list of hard up for money guys looking for a payout. I mean really, its mostly guys still doing indy feds in their 60s and charging 10$ for an autograph. Or its the guys who didn't last in WWE and just want some easy change.

I think its ridiculous that they think its WWE's fault they had brain damage. No one forced them to get in the ring and wrestle or abuse steroids, it was their choice and therefore its down to them to take responsibility for their choices in life not blame their health issues on the company that gave them a career.
Its just as risky as being an MMA fighter or boxer, but the bottom line is its always THEIR CHOICE.

The only person I see in the list that's understandable is Chavo Guerrero considering he's been with WWE for a long time even during the deaths of Eddie & Benoit, but everybody else is just yeah no, No Chance in Hell!

The Jobber Lawsuit or "Looking for Relevancy in all the Wrong Places." Forget the fact that some are Hall of Famers. WWE could do a lot better in caring for their workers, active and retired. The reason why I stopped following wrestling for more than a year was the Punk podcast.

I can see why Kamala is doing this. He's had both his legs amputated from the knee down, and he has little to no money after all the medical bills. In fact, a lot of these guys are probably just after financial security.

As someone with a legal background, the plaintiffs are completely logical and sound in filing this case. I also spent time in the wrestling business, not for WWE. I know what guys who are mentioned on this list who are not hard up for money or doing this out of some grudge. The entire point of these lawsuits is to make people in power IE Vince & his family know that concussions are incredibly dangerous & ellicit life long effects. As a concussion sufferer(I've had 4 diagnosed and somewhere between 2-5 undiagnosed) from football, wrestling, and one accident with a shelf while sleeping. Concussions have basically made sleeping through the night impossible. They are not treatable and they are a very, very serious issue. Hopefully, the ignorance of fans who want to apologize for the WWE and their subsequent behavior will learn what the damages of concussions truly are and that these wrestlers deserve the utmost medical care provided to them at the cost of WWE. You have my sympathy when it comes to your concussions. I can only imagine the pain and frustration that you must feel, and I hope you find some relief someday. As for the wrestlers in question, I don't doubt that they are currently suffering or that the lifestyle of pro wrestling took a toll on their health. My question is how the lawsuit intends to *specifically* prove that WWE is responsible for these health problems when there is plenty of footage of these guys taking risks before and after their employment with WWF/E?

He didn't even work there long enough to risk a concussion.

Thank you for the sentiments. Much appreciated! As for the WWE's level of responsibility. They employed these men & women(let's not even dig into their con of independent contractor). They should be paying for their medical costs. If per say Road Warrior Animal can say on this show in this town I got a concussion but was not going to be paid if I wasn't working the next show in town B, that's where WWE is responsible financially for putting their talent at risk. These guys all working indies after WWE is 100% irrelevant.

Desperate people will do these kind of things. What the is Slick doing on this list?? I can only remember him getting a broken wrist for falling in the ring wrong back in 1987. I don't recall him getting his ass "beat" as much as Heenan did. I guess Tito Santana ripping his suit off at Mania 3 was enough to do this. A bunch of sad, old, workers who pissed away their money and now want anyone other then themselves to pay. I lost all respect for every one of them. And you Sabu. He has the least amount of talent and could only get over by being reckless. This suit will be thrown out faster then Snuka could cover up a murder.

Sabu is blaming WWE for his concussions considering the crazy crap he did BEFORE he got there?
Ok...
