– TMZ reports that three more former WWE talents have sued the company – Luther Reigns, Ryan Sakoda and Big Russ McCullough.
The lawsuit claims WWE “under the guise of providing ‘entertainment’ …. has for decades subjected its wrestlers to extreme physical brutality.” They say WWE has known for years that the in-ring work they do has resulted in dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and other ailments. The suit claims WWE is in the business of “selling violence.”
The suit is asking for damages and an injunction that would prohibit WWE from subjecting its wrestlers to the physical punishment that is claimed in the suit.
Reigns was signed to WWE from 2003 until 2004 but worked WCW and the indies from 1997. He wrestled until 2006 and suffered a stroke. Sakoda was signed from 2003 until 2004 and was paired with Jimmy Wang Yang on the main roster. McCullough worked in WWE developmental and was released in 2001, never making the main roster.
