Finally it seems that school bullying is actually getting some attention in the media.

Wrestling was used as a defense by some scumbag lawyer in Florida who was trying to get somebody off for murder in 2001 for a 1999 killing. PTC tried to blame that on WWF and got sued by the company was was forced to pay 2 million dollars and apologize.

I think it was just because of Berlyns trenchcoat.
Pretty sure I remember wrestling being linked with it. Pretty sure Foley references it in his second book.

Either way, WCW were being cautious due to bad publicity/links to the incident.
