Three former WWE employees have launched a class action suit against the professional wrestling promotion, claiming that the world’s largest pro wrestling organization, has been engaging in “egregious mistreatment” of its workers and that “the WWE has known for years …the brutality in the ring has resulted in dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and a lot more.”
Further claims state that the WWE has withheld medical research and other evidence related to traumatic brain injuries suffered by WWE wrestlers.

Shane Helms… Drew McIntyre… the Nexus… and, riding high at the top of so many lists, the late Sean O’Haire, who died this past Monday 8th September at the terribly young age of 43.
Born Sean Christopher Haire, the 6 foot 6 inch powerhouse debuted in WCW in 2000 after graduating from the company’s training programme at their development facility The Power Plant, and nailed the WCW tag titles with partner Mark Jindrak only three months later, a title he’d on to hold three times with both Jindrak and later Chuck Palumbo.
