John Pollock and Brandon Thurston discuss the legal questions surrounding the lawsuit against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis & WWE.
What are the responsibilities of corporate officers in this scenario? Can a relationship with such a power discrepancy ever be considered consensual? We speak with Todd Martin of PWTorch about the legal aspects of this case and assess the corporate environment of WWE as outlined in Janel Grant’s suit and what stands out.
Then, we’re joined by Erik Magraken to discuss the news that both UFC antitrust lawsuits have been settled for $335 million.
Plus: WWE’s business going into WrestleMania 40 including nine consecutive TV sellouts, Tony Khan announces a sellout in Toronto, Bellator MMA to stream on Max, Brandon Thurston’s AEW Q4 report & more.
