As noted, WWE is accused of hiding the long-term effects of neurological injuries, failing to provide care for the wrestlers' repetitive head injuries "in any medically competent or meaningful manner," and placing "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."
WWE sent Wrestling Inc. the following statement regarding the suit:
"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."
