WWE Scores Major Win In A Variety Of Lawsuits

So much for that. WWE is a huge wrestling company. Actually they’re a pretty big company no matter what profession we’re talking about. They have very deep pockets and all kinds of resources. That means people are going to come after them, even if there’s not much validity to the claims made. Some of those claims were brought up again in recent years, but this time they’re going in WWE’s favor.

According to PWInsider.com, a US District Court Judge in Connecticut has dismissed all lawsuits currently against WWE in regards to concussions. The lawsuits, many of which have been filed by attorney Konstantine Kyros over the last several years, claimed that WWE was responsible for a variety of head injuries due to not properly advising the wrestlers on the risk of such injuries.

I wonder if the lawsuit went like this.

Opinion: That’s about the only way it could have gone. At the end of the day, wrestlers have to know what kind of risks they’re taking when they get into the ring. I know some of the wrestlers aren’t doing as well as others, but to suggest every one of them has some kind of crippling injuries sounds like it’s a step too far. The details of the suit didn’t make sense and for once, WWE seems to be in the right here.

How big of a victory is this for WWE? How good of a name would Konstantine Kyros being for a wrestler? Let us know in the comments below.
