Latest lawsuit against Vince McMahon has only one purpose, explains WWE veteran (Exclusive)
Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, among others, has recently been accused in another lawsuit. However, a veteran believes the plaintiff's purpose isn't to win the case.
McMahon has been the target of several allegations over the past few years. The latest lawsuit pertains to the infamous ring boy scandal of 1992. Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon, and the TKO group have been accused, according to the lawsuit, which states that the defendants knew about the ongoing scandal and willfully chose to do nothing.
Speaking about the matter on Sportskeeda's SmackTalk, Dutch Mantell expressed his belief that the accusers were trying to look for a settlement out of court. He stated:
"I think what they are looking for is a settlement out of court. See what they can get there. But that is so old. And I don't know where it's going... I am gonna have to sit back and withhold judgment on that because I don't know the details on it. It's just an old, old happening," he noted. [2:03 onwards]
Another WWE veteran has also commented on the new lawsuit
According to Vince Russo, the latest allegations would be difficult to prove in court.
Speaking on The Wrestling Outlaws, the former WWE Head writer explained that the original perpetrators in the 1992 scandal had already passed away. As such, he could not see how the case would be handled in court.
"The defendents that were allegedly active in this, in the acts, they are all dead. They are not with us anymore. Pat Patterson's not with us anymore, (Terry) Garvin, Mel Phillips, they've all since passed away. So part of the lawsuit is Vince McMahon and Linda McMahon knew about it. I don't know how you prove that. I don't know, I don't know how you prove that they were privy to what was going on, you know?" Russo noted.
It remains to be seen how the former WWE CEO will handle these issues in the coming weeks.
