Former TNA Superstar Sues the Company; Details

Written by: Kyle Faust - March 21st, 2008

- Konnan has filed a lawsuit against TNA Wrestling where he accuses the company of racial discrimination and alleges that "higher-ups" in the company were using drugs. TNA has 30 days to respond to the lawsuit, which has been in the works for months now. Konnan was actually hoping that the legal papers would be served to TNA officials on Christmas Eve, but his lawyers didn't have the case ready yet. The former TNA Superstar claims he witnessed drug use by TNA office members and says he has a long list of witnesses who will verify his racial discrimination allegations.

While we haven't seen the actual lawsuit yet, it's believed Jeff Jarrett is one of the main targets. It's also believed Vince Russo and Dutch Mantel are named. Konnan is being legally represented by Cary Ichter, the attorney who represented several pro wrestlers in a discrimination suit against WCW and Turner Broadcasting. Ichter is also representing Michael Benoit, who is said to be considering filing a lawsuit against WWE over Chris Benoit's suicide.

I don't usually blindly come to a conclusion about things without knowing at least some of the facts, but I think Konnan is a piece of shit and full of shit. TNA paid for his mother fucking hip surgery and (I think even ran benefit wrestling shows to help Konnan raise money and awareness to get a new liver and to pay for the surgery) then when TNA doesn't give Konnan a raise he quits and sues citing racism. There are enough minorities in TNA to make me believe that this is shit. Racism my ass, Konnan is just one of those people who like to cry racism any time he doesn't get what he wants, I thinks.

Thoughts?
