Several WWE legends, including many WWE Hall of Famers, have filed a lawsuit against the WWE. The wrestlers are claiming in the suit that the WWE is at fault for neurological injuries incurred from wrestling.
Bloomberg first reported that 51 different wrestlers have joined a lawsuit claiming that they are suffering from long-term neurological issues, which they say WWE is responsible for. The claim goes on to say that the company then hid those effects and didn't provide proper care.
According to the lawsuit, the WWE "placed corporate gain over its wrestlers’ health, safety and financial security, choosing to leave the plaintiffs severely injured and with no recourse to treat their damaged minds and bodies."
The WWE issued a statement to us, saying “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.”
