HARTFORD, Conn. -- More than 50 former professional wrestlers sued World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., saying the company is responsible for repeated head trauma including concussions they suffered in the ring that led to long-term neurological damage.Jimmy Superfly Snuka, Joseph Road Warrior Animal Laurinaitis and Paul Mr. Wonderful Orndorff are among the plaintiffs who filed the lawsuit Monday in federal court in Connecticut. The lawsuit also names WWE chairman Vince McMahon as a defendant. Stamford-based WWE denies the allegations.WWE placed corporate gain over its wrestlers health, safety, and financial security, choosing to leave the plaintiffs severely injured and with no recourse to treat their damaged minds and bodies, according to the lawsuit, which does not say how much money the former wrestlers are seeking.The plaintiffs say they suffered concussions and other head trauma that resulted in long-term brain damage.Last month, the 73-year-old Snuka was found mentally incompetent to stand trial in the 1983 death of his girlfriend near Allentown, Pennsylvania. His defense partly blames head trauma he suffered in the ring.Unlike other sports including football and hockey where players have suffered similar injuries, WWE wrestling matches involve specific moves scripted and choreographed by the WWE -- thus making the company directly responsible for wrestlers injuries, according to the lawsuit.The National Football League and National Hockey League were also sued by former players who suffered concussions and other head injuries. The NFL settled for $1 billion, while the suit against the NHL is pending.The WWE said in a statement that an attorney for the ex-wrestlers, Konstantine Kyros, has made similar claims against the company without success.This is another ridiculous attempt by the same attorney who has previously filed class action lawsuits against WWE, both of which have been dismissed, the companys statement said. A federal judge has already found that this lawyer made patently false allegations about WWE, and this is more of the same. Were confident this lawsuit will suffer the same fate as his prior attempts and be dismissed.Kyros, based in Hingham, Massachusetts, said on Tuesday that he is appealing the dismissal of two class-action lawsuits against the WWE over concussions, while two unlawful death lawsuits against WWE remain pending. The pending lawsuits were filed by the families of the late Matt Doink the Clown Osborne and Nelson Frazier Jr., who wrestled as Big Daddy V, Viscera and Mabel.The lawsuit involving Osborne, who died of a drug overdose in 2013 at age 55, claims repeated concussions led to drug abuse and depression. The lawsuit involving Frazier alleges his brain injuries played a role in his death in 2014 at age 43 from a heart attack. The WWE denies the allegations in both cases.Kyros said whats new in the latest lawsuit against WWE are allegations the company exploited its wrestlers, including misclassifying them as independent contractors and refusing to provide them with health insurance. He also said there are new civil racketeering allegations against McMahon.It has been the studied practice of the WWE through its counsel to denigrate the motives and integrity of anyone who is courageous enough to protest the WWEs totally self-serving choice to ignore the human toll and health crisis that its policies, fraud and mistreatment of its workers have created, Kyros said.

DETROIT -- The Cleveland Indians arent interested in coasting to the finish line.The American League Central Division champion Indians will wrap up their season series with the host Detroit Tigers on Thursday afternoon -- weather permitting -- before moving on to Kansas City to close out their regular season.Detroit winds up in Atlanta, where it will continue its fight for a wild card playoff berth in a National League city. That means Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez will only be able to pinch-hit.But typical Midwest autumn weather could mess things up.Detroit and Cleveland managed to eke out five innings Wednesday night with the Tigers waiting 72 minutes to learn they had pulled out a 6-3 win thanks to Miguel Cabreras three-run home run through a hard rain with one out in the fifth.The weather forecast for Thursdays isnt much better.Ive learned to take forecasts with a grain of salt, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. Its an inexact science, much like bullpen usage.Everyone will do everything they can to avoid a rained out game because if it had playoff implications Cleveland would have to return to Detroit on Monday for a makeup.I know theyre going to try, manager Terry Francona of Cleveland said. If we dont play, wed have to come back here on Monday if need be. Im sure theyre going to try and play, even though the forecast isnt very good.If the game didnt have any ramifications you wouldnt play it, Ausmus said. That happened last year. We had a game rained out with Cleveland. We only played 161 games last year.If it had an impact on the playoff race, they would absolutely have to play the game.Francona is trying to line up his pitching and get his regulars tuned up for whatever playoff fate awaits them.ddddddddddddAttaining the best record in the league for home field advantage throughout the playoffs is still a doable feat.We talked about it the other day as a team, kind of like how we wanted to approach it, Francona said. I understand that some guys need rest and thats what well do.On one hand it gives some of the younger guys a chance to play, which is good. But regardless of who plays or how much, you always play the game right.That way you dont have to concern yourself about (raising your level of play). You dont just turn the button on and off; thats hard to do. Then when it comes times for the playoffs to start, then you dont have to worry that you kind of went 80 percent, because thats hard to do.Detroit will start one of its precious young starters, left-hander Daniel Norris (3-2, 3.59 ERA) while Cleveland will send out one of its September call-ups, southpaw Ryan Merritt (0-0, 1.50 ERA).Merritt made 24 starts in Triple-A, going 11-8 with a 3.70 ERA. The 16th-round selection in the 2011 draft has been up with the Indians three times this season, pitching just six innings spread over three relief appearances with one run allowed.This will mark his first appearance against Detroit.Norris, on the disabled list twice this season, will be making his third start against Cleveland this season. He is 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA against the Indians this year and 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA against Cleveland over three career starts.
