WWE News: Update On Lawsuit Against WWE & Titus O’Neil

As we previously reported, the WWE Superstar Titus O’Neil and the company are being sued by a cameraman after an incident that took place during filming of the WWE Network show Swerved. Donald Anderson is alleging that he was injured after Paige zapped Titus with a cattle prod, leading to O’Neil becoming “enraged” and kicking the camera out of Anderson’s hand, leaving him injured and unable to work for six months.

Additionally, Anderson is alleging he was placed in an unsafe working environmen and was instructed by WWE to leave the building out of fear that Titus would go after him again. He also alleges that O’Neil has been known for having “significant anger management issues”. In total, Anderson is suing both WWE and Titus for Battery, Assault, Willful Misconduct, Negligence, Gross Negligence, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress and Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress. He is seeking $15,000 in damages.

Today, PWInsider is reporting that Anderson has filed an amended version of the suit in the State of Florida. Previously, WWE claimed they were not under Florida’s jurisdiction, however Anderson is trying to use quotes from both Triple H and WWE Executive John Saboor in which they talk about the importance of the Performance Center in Orlando to fight that.

It should also be noted that Anderson previously filed suit in California, seeking $1.2 million with claims of medical bills that reached in excess $150,000, which is not mentioned at all in the suit in Florida.

EA’s Take: Anybody else smell that? You know, that odor of something that might plop out the rear end of a bull? To me, it sounds like this guy is going way over the top. Perhaps Saul Goodman is his representation because I can totally buy that Titus would kick at a camera after being shocked by a cattle prod, but a lot of this other information screams of an ambulance chaser. So while he may have a case, I just can’t get behind Titus having anger issues or the fact that he’s already sued in California for a ridiculous amount. Just seems fishy.
