– The Oregonian has an article on Billy Jack Haynes’ lawsuit against WWE that you can read here. There isn’t anything new reported, outside of a statement sent by WWE spokesman Brian Flinn to the outlet stating that WWE has “committed significant funding” for concussion research by the Sports Legacy Institute and uses brain function testing for its wrestlers, offers annual educational seminars and has banned “deliberate and direct” blows to the head.
Finn reiterated the original WWE statement that the company could not conceal information as Haynes is alleging, since chronic traumatic encephalopathy had not been discovered in the late 1980s.
– Cartoon Network’s new animated series Mike Tyson Mysteries, which of course stars former WWE Hall of Famer Mike Tyson, drew 1.01 million viewers and drew a 0.5 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic.
