World Wrestling Entertainment Inc was sued on Monday by Jimmy
"Superfly" Snuka and dozens of other retired male and female wrestlers
seeking to hold it responsible for neurological injuries they claimed to
suffer by participating in its bouts.
The complaint was filed on behalf of more than
50 plaintiffs who have performed with WWE or its predecessors since the
1970s, including Joseph "Road Warrior Animal" Laurinaitis and Paul "Mr.
Wonderful" Orndorff.
It accused Stamford, Connecticut-based WWE and
Chairman Vince McMahon of intentionally classifying wrestlers as
"independent contractors" rather than employees, as a means to avoid
liability under applicable worker protection laws.
