Basham suing WWE

**Xero** · 01-05-2011, 04:09 PM

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.
