WWE Lawsuit Dismissed

It appears the the lawsuit filed against the WWE, by 3 of their former employees has been rejected.


LAWSUIT LAYDOWN

The Stamford Advocate reported that the lawsuit brought upon World Wrestling Entertainment by former WWF and WCW talents Chris Kanyon (pictured above, top), Raven (pictured above, left) and Mike Sanders (pictured above, right) was dismissed by Senior U.S. District Judge Peter Dorsey this past Monday.

REGAL REWIND

Just to refresh everyone's memory, the lawsuit originally claimed that the WWE were listing professional wrestlers as independent contractors when by nature of the job requirements (drug testing, performing and dressing as instructed, being restricted from working for other companies, etc.), they were actually misclassified and were employees.

WWE had requested a dismissal several months back based on the verbiage of the wrestlers' booking contracts and several other points, leading to the Judge to side with WWE.

FINAL THOUGHT

Glad to see that the ex-WWE disgruntled employee factor is still alive and well.
