According to an article from Bloomberg, a number of former wrestlers are teaming up to sue the WWE regarding head injuries. According to the report, the WWE is being accused of trying to conceal head injuries and not taking good enough medical care of them.

The WWE issued the following statement on the lawsuit:
“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”
I am not sure if these guys have much of a case. It is interesting because there is a lot of familiar names of the past who are suing!
