Vince McMahon Deposed In WWE Concussion Lawsuit

Vince McMahon is scheduled to be deposed in the lawsuit against WWE by former wrestlers Vito Lo Grasso and Evan Singleton today. Stephanie McMahon, Dr. Chris Amann and Christopher Nowinski, who heads up the Concussion Legacy Foundation, will also be deposed. Triple H will be deposed next Tuesday and Dr. Joseph Maroon was deposed on 5/20.

WWE argued against Stephanie being included as they had already made the other employees available. The Judge made the following ruling:

“WWE made Levesque available previously to testify before Congress on issues related to the safety of its wrestlers. Although the Court rejected Plaintiff’s fraudulent misrepresentation claims on the basis of that testimony, WWE has not demonstrated that Levesque is not an appropriate deponent on the issues of whether WWE had a duty, and whether that duty was breached, to disclose knowledge of long term health risks caused by repeated head trauma. The parties are ordered to work cooperatively to schedule a deposition based on the witness’ availability, which may be conducted up to fourteen days after the current discovery deadline.”
