The family of the late Matt Osborne filed a lawsuit against WWE in federal court in Dallas, Texas on Friday. The lawsuit, filed by Michelle James on behalf of Osborne's children, claims that traumatic brain injuries resulted in "depression and drug abuse, which ultimately resulted in his untimely death."
"When forced to acknowledge the risks to which it subjects its wrestlers — by script, on a daily basis — WWE took inadequate steps to correct the problem or to address its injurious conduct, the full consequences of which are still coming to light," reads the suit. "Indeed, WWE continues a course of conduct designed to mislead its wrestlers, and designed to mislead Matthew Osborne until his death, about the injuries they sustained while wrestling for WWE by failing to disclose pertinent facts or offering misleading truths." The dollar amount the family is seeking in the lawsuit was not disclosed. Read more on the story at DallasNews.com.
Opinionated View- This will be a hard case for the Osborne family. One he didn't die to a head injury directly it was due to a drug OD and heart problems. Also this was a guy that started in 1978 and he wasn't just a WWE guy he worked for numerous companies during the course of his career. How can they prove it was just or mainly his WWE run that did his damage.
