It was announced on Wednesday that a new lawsuit was filed by former WWF ring boys against WWE, TKO, Vince McMahon, and Linda McMahon. Via Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.com, McMahon’s attorney Jessica Rosenberg issued the following statement in response to the lawsuit…

“More than 30 years ago, the columnist Phil Mushnick tried to make headlines with these same false claims. Those allegations were never proven and ultimately became the subject of a defamation lawsuit against Mr. Mushnick.

“The negligence claims against Mr. McMahon that were asserted today rely on these same absurd, defamatory and utterly meritless statements by Mr. Mushnick. We will vigorously defend Mr. McMahon and are confident the court will find that these claims are untrue and unfounded.”
