TNA Vs. WWE Lawsuit Updates
- The Associated Press picked up the story of TNA suing World Wrestling Entertainment and former employee Brian Wittenstein on alleged breach of confidentiality concerning TNA contracts. The new report includes more comments from WWE lead attorney Jerry McDevitt, who claims, according to the AP report, that "WWE never asked Wittenstein to disclose the information and that the company fired him when he did. Furthermore, WWE told TNA officials about the breach and sent back the information Wittenstein leaked." TNA's contention in the lawsuit filed this week is that a WWE employee notified TNA of the breach three weeks before WWE officially responded to TNA. McDevitt also dismissed TNA's claim that WWE tried to lure Ric Flair "or any other wrestlers under contract" with TNA. A hearing is scheduled for June 11 in Nashville to begin sorting out the dispute.
- At this time, no one within TNA wants to talk about the WWE lawsuit, not even privately and off the record, reports PWInsider.
