They are being represented by the same lawyer as former WWE star Billy Jack Haynes, who also has a lawsuit out against WWE.<\/p>\n<p>The complaints from Haynes and Lograsso\/Singleton appear to be virtually identical except for short paragraphs about the complainants.<\/p>\n<p>Singleton&#8217;s complaint mentions wrestling WWE Superstar Erick Rowan in developmental as Singleton claims, &#8220;After approximately 15 matches, during which he sustained multiple traumas, he suffered a serious head injury during a match with Eric Rowen [sic]. The WWE cleared him to continue wrestling after inadequate rest time and downplayed his injury.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Singleton was apparently out of action for five months after a match against Rowan. He then worked one more match and was released from his developmental deal. Singleton has suffered from a number of severe neurological symptoms and later found out that he had bleeding in the left hemisphere of his brain.<\/p>\n<p>Lograsso noted that he &#8220;suffers from serious neurological damage, including severe headaches, memory loss, depression and anxiety, as well as deafness.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Former WWE Wrestlers File Class-Action &#8216;Concussion Lawsuit&#8217; Against WWE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":6296,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[48],"class_list":["post-16434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-wwe"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16434"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16434\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16442,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16434\/revisions\/16442"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
