Didn’t think this should go into the TV thread, and couldn’t see a similar thread so just somewhere to discuss legal ramifications etc in wrestling.

https://www.si.com/fannation/wrestling/aew/aew-jon-moxley-sued-for-negligence-civil-assault-battery

lot of accusations here as well about conduct which I’ve never heard/seen rumours about.

Skip to 3:50 to see the incident occur

Getting your neck fused for a claim, is some commitment to the bit.

Is that what Paul Alcock did to get Di Canio his 11 match ban?

One of those people (most wrestlers) who would be better served by deleting social media.

This seems pretty standard, especially for America which has a legal system much more open to this kind of ligitation. I don't think it's wildly beyond probability that he did get hurt, that he didn't make a fuss at the time in hopes it wouldn't harm his working opportunity, and when that didn't work out took it to litigation.

If this injured him and contributed to medical expenses and time off work then he's right to do it, and I hope he gets that covered. And it won't hurt to reinforce among the performers that anything like this should be cleared fully beforehand.

Unfortunately for Dev, I don't think that this should lead to Mox's death by firing squad. If it was unplanned, it was a minor thing in the heat of the moment that the vast majority of the time would have led to nothing. Chances are this gets settled out of court and remains in the public discourse for the next hundred years, with people's opinions on it almost entirely decided by whether they like AEW or not (not this lovely place, of course)

Don't give him ideas for his next gimmick match.

In this economy you better believe i’m taking a dive if a millionaire employed by a billionaire pushes me to the ground. Hope he cleans them out.

It was only a matter of time before Mox’s crime spree caught up with him.

If this guy makes bank, Rock n’ Roll Express should be licking their (kidnapped) chops!

If it wasn't a planned spot and he got shoved and fell over without knowing about it in advance, then it's assault, and he does have a legit claim. 

Either way it's getting settled out of court, so if you inflate the fuck out of the damages, it just helps your 'settled out of court' case.
