Basham suing WWE
From PWInsider:
The Courier Journal in Louisville, Kentucky is reporting that an 18 year old man is suing World Wrestling Entertainment, Triple H and Dwayne Johnson for an injury he allegedly suffered in 2000 at the age of seven during the 2000 WWF Judgment Day PPV, which was headlined by Johnson vs. HHH in an Iron Man Match. According to the article, the crowd swarming after Triple H and Johnson brawled into the crowd caused a chain reaction that ended with a woman falling atop of the then-seven year old, causing knee and leg injuries. The lawsuit was filed after the plaintiff, identified only as "Basham" in the article, required surgery on his knee recently. His attorney is claiming there is no statue of limitations for filing the lawsuit since "Basham" was a minor when he was allegedly hurt. The lawsuit accuses the WWE of failing to properly stage the match and provide adequate security for its customers. Both Johnson and Triple H are accused of “reckless, willful and wanton conduct." WWE declined to respond to media requests on the lawsuit, which was filmed this past Monday. ![]() |

Shouldn't he be 17 if he was 7 on May 21, 2000?

He should go ahead and sue HBK for not controlling Rock and HHH.

15 years ago I fell over at school and grazed my elbow.
I'm having surgery on my elbow tomorrow. This is my schools fault from 15 years ago for negligence! Nah not really, but this is basically how I interpret the story. |

If anything, they will settle out of court and give this shithead a little cash. Which, is probably all Basham wants to begin with.

Why does Triple H have two names?
Paul Michael Levesque Jean Paul Levesque Did he change his name or something? |

Was he actually Jean Paul? I thought it was his ring name. Also, I bet Basham's name prompted that "2nd or 3rd" thread of yours.

I doubt the WWE will fight it. They won't want to have the kid making this a big deal and having the story all over the world. I'm sure they will just give him a nice amount of money (I'd ballpark around $15,000-40,000, and pay for the hospital bills). That money isn't too much of a hurt to WWE, and it is enough to make the kid never speak of the incident again. He will be happier then a pig in shit with that kind of money.
What are all of your opinions? Do you think they will just give him the money to end this as fast as possible before it blows up? If so, around how much do you think they will settle out for? |

HHH and Basham should settle this in a ladder match with a briefcase full of settlement papers hanging high above the ring.

A injury to a minor extends until they're 18. Not sure how long after they turn, that they have to file.

It'd be great if they used footage from the PPV to prove this case.

Gotta be Noid. What other child would remember the Bashams and make use of the name?

Wait, aren't you usually against frivolous lawsuits? What kind of fucktarded logic would have you suggest they sue first and ask questions later? Doesn't only suing when there's need fit with the concept of a sensible lawsuit? Explained in the first post, FFS. |

If I was a judge and I got this case assigned to me, I'd be very pissed, and I would let "Basham" know about it in court.
