#3 Fan files $500 Billion lawsuit against WWE
It's time to focus on one of the more ridiculous stories doing the rounds in the WWE.
As reported by HeelByNature, a fan named Cedric Cunningham filed a $500 Billion lawsuit against WWE on 25th January. The court documents revealed that the man accused WWE of causing him emotional distress, cruel and unusual punishment.
As crazy as it sounds, Cedric Cunningham noted in a hand-written complaint (which you can view above) that Vince McMahon's company apparently used 'sorcery' to degrade him while they created content for millions of viewers.
Florida's district judge, Raag Singhal, was quick to rightfully dismiss the lawsuit as going ahead with it would be a sheer waste of public funds. The case was closed, and any further notions were also denied.
Expenditure of public funds and the valuable time of the courts in order to prosecute an action that is totally without merit. Upon review of Plaintiff's Complaint, the Court has determined that the conclusory allegations of the Defendant's denial of Plaintiff's Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights and the Defendant's commission of a hate crime under 18 U.S.C. § 249 are unsupported by any factual allegations, do not satisfy the pleading requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a), and fail to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The Court therefore finds that this case is properly dismissed under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiff's Complaint (DE [1]) is DISMISSED. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case and DENY AS MOOT any pending motions. DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this 29th day of January 2021.
Cedric Cunningham is one unhappy man, and it's high time that he gives WWE a break.
