THQ vs WWE Lawsuit Thrown Out Of Court, Then Hit With Folding Metal Chair
You probably won't remember, but back in 2004, the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) sued THQ. The wrasslers accused THQ of bribery and - get this - racketeering, basically saying that THQ swindled them on a licensing deal. They weren't only seeking to have THQ's licensing deal cancelled, but were also after a hefty payout. Well, the Connecticut state court's thrown the case out, after the federal court did the same thing, which means not even some sneaky Jimmy Hart megaphone action can save the WWE in this one.
Connecticut Court Dismisses WWE Claims Against Jakks, THQ [Gamasutra]
If you came to E3 wanting to see the clothes of burly men who wear tights, or if you've had enough of looking at women in skimpy outfits and want instead to be able to view the skimpy outfits without being distracted by the women, then you're in luck. THQ, the publishers of the upcoming WWE Smackdown! vs. Raw 2007, have some of the actual outfits worn by actual professional wrestlers on display, including Mankind's face mask and several small pieces of cloth whimsically referred to as WWE divas' "outfits." Several displays are filled with the goods and locked behind glass so that nobody can sniff them.
