WWE Amazing Argument In Monopoly Lawsuit (This Is Kind Of Nuts)

They don’t own the whole thing. WWE is the biggest and most powerful wrestling promotion in the world. This has been the case for a long time now and no one has given WWE any kind of a serious threat for years. However, that does not mean WWE is the only wrestling promotion around, and now they have had to admit that in front of a judge as part of a lawsuit.

Earlier this year, Major League Wrestling, alleging that WWE is a monopoly on the wrestling industry. WWE has since filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit and, according to Dave Meltzer, presented a copy of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, which showed that AEW defeated WWE head to head in a thirty minute period. As a result, the company showed that they were not a monopoly on the wrestling business. There is no word on if the lawsuit will be thrown out or when a decision will be made.

In the WWE's response to the MLW lawsuit, besides the written response they provided an exhibit. The exhibit was the October 18, 2021 issue of the Observer that covered WWE losing the 30 minutes head-to-head with AEW as evidence they weren't a dominant monopoly.

Opinion: This is one of those things that is almost hard to fathom but it seems to have taken place. Ignoring the legal side of things, I don’t think there is much of a case to be made about WWE having a true monopoly on the wrestling business, but having something like the Wrestling Observer Newsletter as proof in a court of law is almost too much to get my head around.

What do you think of the lawsuit? What is the best wrestling company going today? Let us know in the comments below.
