They should just offer these guys $.15 as a settlement. Really stick it to them.

Some cable runner claimed he was injured by Jericho when Jericho knocked him over during the course of a match or something. The cable runner sued Jericho and WWE for like $8 million or something. Vince said, "Don't worry. These guys want me to pay them a little something to go away. If I did that, I'd be bankrupt. I'll spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in court to avoid paying one dime in settlement". I put it in quotes, but, I'm just trying to remember what Jericho said that Vince said.

But Bagwell is claiming he is owed everything based on his WCW deal that expired 3 months before he agreed to a WWE deal, using that clause in his WWE contract. That makes no sense. He is trying to apply a contract and those terms that WWE was never party to and he either paid to get out or let expire to his WWE deal. If if he is owed something based on his WWE deal, fine but how does WWE become responsible for a deal they never agreed to take on? The WCW thing, the only way theyd' be responsible is if they agreed to "take on debts" (and money owed, even in perpetuity, is a debt). I'm only looking at McDevitt's previous defenses, namely the 2004 rewriting that removed a "future technologies" wording that did exist in the initial WWE contracts in 2001. If Buff singed one of those, and given that he had dealisn with talent relations, one can assume that he did, then that is the only part he will need. No he can't say "Well, this company woudl have paid me X, so I want that AND this", but he can say "I singed this, and it says I get this, so I want it". In the NHL this June, the Montreal Canadiens traded PK Subban to Nashville. PK had a no-trade clause (or maybe no move) that was set to kick in like the day after. Once PK got to Nashville, they said, "We didn't agree to your no move deal, we don't have to honour it" And they don't. This is a man with a union who doesn't get something he signed honored by someone else. Imagine what Buff signed. Buff isn't getting anything.

Bumping an old thread because I don't think the other Bagwell thread is a good place for it, the lawsuit has been amended with another plaintiff jumping on board, this time it's Raven! [Warning: PWinsider link] The WWE may regret making some big WCW/ECW names persona non grata as he's probably not going to be the only one to get on board.

Raven is far from persona non grata, he's been interviewed for a few DVDs and a Table for 3 episode I believe. I think he's just suing them because that is what Raven does. As long as their attorney keeps making the simple mistake of claiming WWE's version of WCW has ties to the Turner version I trust WWE to destroy this.

Didn't Raven have a case when he sued WWE before?

Didn't Raven have a case when he sued WWE before? He, Kanyon and Mike Sanders sued over the independant contractors lie, but the WWE got it moved to Connecticut and thrown out because of a technicality, they waited too long to file suit.

Vince said, "Don't worry. These guys want me to pay them a little something to go away. If I did that, I'd be bankrupt. I'll spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in court to avoid paying one dime in settlement". Which is, of course, why the initials WWE are now on the company's letterhead. Vince is too stubborn for his own good, though I think in this case he's got a fairly secure case.

I hate to be that guy but next time can you post the full link when it comes to pwinsider so people actually know that the website their going too. That website is a virus cesspool and I really don't want to get my phone inflicted because of it.

My apologies, I use adblock, imageblock and noscript on there (and most newz sites) so it looks like a normal, if dated website to me. I tend to use [ url ] tags when I link to external sites on forums out of habit because the post flows better. I forget just how bad most wrestling websites can be in that regard.

Vince is too stubborn for his own good, though I think in this case he's got a fairly secure case. I'm not so sure, they were paying Bagwell for WCW material on DVD, something they claim they're not obligated to do, so the only way that's happening is if the WCW buyout contracts contain language offering them that. Prior to 2004/2005, WWF/E contracts had a future technologies clause, something Bagwell and Raven's deals likely had, and they made guys who renewed or signed legends deals sign new contracts that waived that, as we saw with Renee Dupree. The WWE kept Bagwell and Raven at arm's length for a decade plus so their contract still stands when it comes to royalties. By this point with the previous attempt to get network royalties, McDevitt had busted out proof that they had no right to that, this time around the strategy is 'Make Bagwell fear being crippled financially should they get it thrown out on a technicality' which makes me suspect they know that it won't be so easy.

The solution is obvious. Just give Buff a WWE contract with a clause that he drops the lawsuit, team him up with Scotty Riggs to reform the American Males, and have them go over New Day. That way we get to hear that awesome American Males entrance music on Raw. I'm the greatest attorney of all time.

Samehere, but I really don't want to take the chance even with having adblock on because the last time I went to pwinsider, I got a nasty virus on my laptop. Figure I'd give you the head up just in case it happen to someone else.
