Jerry McDevitt, a high powered attorney for WWE, has spoken out with The Sun about the lawsuit currently being filed against the company by Scott Levy (Raven), Mike Sanders and Chris Klucsarits. The following points made by McDevitt attempt to highlight why he feels the claims made in the case are bogus and will result in failure for the three former WWE workers.
“The IRS has never challenged the treatment of our wrestlers and they have audited the company several times.”
“I think the key point to be made here is that every one of these people signed contracts acknowledging they were independent contractors.
That second quote could prove to the be a "nail in the coffin," so to speak, as the wrestlers cannot prove they were not independent contractors. The case would then have to be made whether or not wrestlers SHOULD be independent contractors. You can read the entire article at this link.

By Cassidy Haslett on 18 September 2008 |
| I did not post a blog last week because I did not feel that RAW was really worth posting a blog about. It was okay, but nothing much to discuss. This week, there is a bit more to discuss and I also wanted to provide my thoughts on SmackDown and the current line-up for No [...] |
| | CBlog XXVI- Thoughts on WWE Unforgiven 2008
By Cassidy Haslett on 9 September 2008 |
| The 10′th WWE Unforgiven in Cleveland was just awesome and worth the $39.95 I paid. Sure, every match was not great, but I look at the overall when I judge a pay-per-view. Here are my thoughts on Unforgiven:

| | CBlog XXV- WWE RAW, Rey and Unforgiven
By Cassidy Haslett on 2 September 2008 |
| RAW was average to me this week. Granted, it may have been better had there not been spoilers on every single wrestling site or in every wrestling email I got after RAW was taped this past Sunday. It was nice to see Randy Orton make an appearance on RAW, even though it would have been [...] |
