WWE Legal Issues
Does anybody know what, if anything, has happened with two of WWE's legal issues they seemed to be having a while back.

The first one I'm thinking of concerns Raven and the whole 'independent contractor' issue, the second was the cease-and-desist order against Hogan's celebrity wrestling show over the 'Brutus The Barber Beefcake' name.

Haven't heard anything on either of these two stories in a while.

LOL. I forgot about the Raven story. Remember how good a case the IWC thought he had?

The Stanford Advocate reports that a federal judge has dismissed the lawsuit filed against World Wrestling
Entertainment by former wrestlers Scott "Raven" Levy, Chris "Kanyon" Klucsaritis and Mike Sanders. The wrestlers claimed WWE cheated them out of health care and other benefits and that the terms of their WWE contracts should qualify them as full-time employees. To read the full story, visit StamfordAdvocate.com. The judge ruling in favor of Raven, Kanyon and Sanders would have had a tremendous change on the wrestling industry and in the end could have cost WWE a great deal of money.

I guess a plea of "it's not fair" and the support of the IWC doesn't overturn the law and a mountain of lawyers after all.

I didn't follow it, but I'd like to say that parts of the Nicole Bass v. WWE opinion is pretty funny. Apparently Micheal Hayes wanted all up in that...
