Update on Hamilton/Deep South vs. WWE Lawsuit

According to a new report by PWInsider, attorneys for Jody Hamilton and Deep South Wrestling responded on August 6 to attempts by World Wrestling Entertainment to throw out the entire lawsuit being brought against them by Hamilton and Deep South. While WWE claimed earlier that Hamilton and Deep South "failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted and that the lawsuit failed to show any alleged wrongdoing on WWE's part, Hamilton's response was that both parties each had a 90 day clause in the agreement. The filing on August 6 reads, "Because compliance did not fit nicely into WWE's plans, it opted to take matters into its own hands and to act tortuously, unlawfully, maliciously and with conscious indifference to the consequence of its action. WWE was surreptitiously making arrangements to consolidate and move its operations to Florida."
