Frivolous lawsuits are ten a penny these days, people practically queuing up to litigate against one another for the most spurious reasons: like the California city that sued the manufacturers of a taser when one of their police officers drew her gun instead of her taser and shot a suspect to death; or the convict who sued himself for 5 million dollars, claiming that in committing a crime that he was imprisoned for, hed violated his own civil liberties. Often the motivations behind the silliest lawsuits youve ever heard of are the real story, though just as in pro wrestling, sometimes the story behind an angle is sometimes more interesting than the angle itself. So its always fascinating reading when people who engage in a worked business, playing different, outrageously exaggerated versions of themselves and blurring the line between reality and fiction for a living, are forced to engage in the ultimate version of a shoot and agree to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Theres also a fine line between fantasy and delusion, as youll see from some of these examples of the most ridiculous lawsuits in wrestling.
