Backstage News On Billy Jack Haynes’ WWE Lawsuit, KENTA

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

— As noted earlier here on the website, there is said to be a little bit of concern within WWE developmental regarding Hideo Itami, the former KENTA, trying too hard to adapt to the WWE style of working.

The finish to one of Itami’s recent NXT matches at the last set of television tapings had to be re-done because one of his kicks didn’t connect.

Regardless, WWE is said to be impressed with how hard Itami works and how quickly he is improving his English. The company reportedly views him as one of their top developmental talents.

— As noted last week, former WWE star Billy Jack Haynes filed a major federal lawsuit against WWE for “egregious mistreatment of its wrestlers for its own benefit, as well as its concealment and denial of medical research and evidence concerning traumatic brain injuries suffered by WWE wrestlers.”

TMZ has since picked up the story and claim that Haynes is seeking $5 million from WWE.

The story also features comments from Haynes, who claims that he contracted Hepatitis C while wrestling a bloody match for WWE in the past.

— As noted earlier here on the website, there is apparently a lot of concern among wrestlers in WWE about the possibility of the company doing another round of talent cuts in the near future.

The concern is stemming from the fact that WWE will be announcing their latest earnings during their conference call on Thursday, and those who haven’t been regularly appearing on television as of late are in fear that they could soon be handed their walking papers.

Make sure to check back here at the website tomorrow for all of the news coming out of WWE’s third-quarter conference call, including the latest official WWE Network subscriber count.
