On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court of Connecticut declined to hear a appeal from several former pro wrestlers suing WWE for claiming the company didn t protect them from head injuries that led to CTE and other medical issues, ending a six-year legal journey.
The suit was dismissed in 2020 by the U.S. Court of Appeals, but in February, lawyer Konstantine Kyros said he would appeal to the highest court in the state. No explanations were given for declining to hear the case which is common practice.
Five plaintiffs (Billy Jack Haynes (William Haynes), Russ McCullough, Ryan Sakoda, Luther Reigns (Matthew Wiese) and the wife of the late Nelson “Viscera” Frazier) remained on the suit that began more than six years ago with as many as 50 plaintiffs.
