Three former professional wrestlers, including Mr. Fuji and Superfly Snuka, have been diagnosed with chronic trauamatic encelopathy or a similar disease, according to a court document filed on behalf of more than 60 former wrestlers who are suing the WWE over injuries they suffered while wrestling.
The Boston Globe first reported the story.
In response, the WWE issued a statement calling into question the integrity of the lawyer who is representing the wrestlers, Konstantine Kyros.
“[Kyros] has been repeatedly admonished by the court for presenting false and misleading information, and no medical report was included in this filing," the statement reads.
