WWE threatens legal action against writer

[Crayo]

WWE responded to another column recently written about Linda McMahon. Chris Powell, Managing Editor of The Journal Enquirer, wrote in his column on Monday that McMahon derived her wealth from "the business of violence, pornography, and general raunch."

WWE, in their letter to Powell, told him that he has until June 4th to retract his statements or else face legal action. You can see their response by clicking here..

The CT News Junkie, picked up on the letter, which was emailed to various newspapers, with comments from Powell saying he asked WWE if they could get the depositions done before the Republican primary because he was eager to meet "Trish". He also pointed out that he never mentioned WWE by name in his article. You can check that piece out by clicking here..

Screw Linda and her senate run.

I expect she'll retire soon. : Obama > Linda

Screw Linda and her senate run.

AMEN LEO!

From what I heard, this article was from a no-name writer stuck in the forgotten middle section of the webpage/newspaper, and the article itself screamed shock value from a writer just trying to get some attention. Mission (sadly) accomplished. Had the dirtsheets and other headline whores not seen this as an easy way to get page views, then nobody would have heard about this. Now, the writer's being talked about worldwide due to one line he said, it's sad that people have to result to shit like this to do so.

So, what, we sue people just for stating something negative now? I think they're taking their "Stand Up For WWE" campaign a bit too seriously. You can't just threaten legal action towards anyone who writes something you don't like or criticizes you for something, justified or not. About as ridiculous as Hogan and Bischoff threatening Steiner with legal action for stuff he writes on Twitter.

Am I the only one that thought the title said :dawg: "WWE threatens legal actions against twitter".

Negative and wrong are different things. Comparing WWE to porn (like one writer done) is outrageous. I'd take action if I were WWE too.

Not to mention that the writer just did it to get attention. :dawg:

 

[Leo C]

Yes, after WWE became PG and everything's limited, calling WWE porn is downright wrong.

 

[Lockard 23]

Still silly to actually threaten legal action over it.

 

[Leo C]

Well, it was silly to threaten legal action, but the writer was silly for doing that too.

 

[Crayo]

It's not silly imo.

Threatening legal action or badmouthing WWE?

Threatening legal action or badmouthing WWE?

He's not badmouthing it, he's going beyond that. If someone called MJ a pedo that would be bad mouthing. If someone said the Kobe Bryant is a cannibal that would just be wrong and way out there.
