As noted before, 2 former WWE wrestlers Vito Lograsso (Big Vito) and Evan Singleton (Adam Mercer in developmental) filed a class-action “concussion lawsuit” against WWE in Pennsylvania. The lawsuit seeks unspecified economic damages and medical monitoring. They are being represented by the same lawyer hired by former WWE star Billy Jack Haynes in his similar lawsuit against WWE.
WWE lawyer Jerry McDevitt issued the following statement in response to the new lawsuit:
“This lawsuit is virtually identical to the one filed by the same lawyers in Oregon, neither of which have any merit. WWE has never concealed any medical information related to concussions, or otherwise, from our Talents. WWE was well ahead of sports organizations in implementing concussion management procedures and policies as a precautionary measure as the science and research on this issue emerged. We will vigorously contest this lawsuit.”
