Yep. THIS GUY:
In other news:

– According to PWInsider, there is a pre-trial conference scheduled for June 25 in Minneapolis regarding the WWE lawsuit vs. Dale Gagner’s AWA Superstars.
– Also from PWInsider: WWE has motioned for the lawsuit brought against it by Karlene Boutwell to be thrown out. Boutwell is a fan who alleged that she was assaulted during Sandman’s entrance last August. WWE claims the suit should be thrown out because it was filed in Tennessee (where the show in question was taped) but she is a Florida resident, WWE is CT-based and Sandman (also part of the suit) is a resident of Pennsylvania.
