80′s
wrestler “Pretty Boy” Doug Somers has filed suit against WWE and the
McMahons over claims that he is owed royalties for WWE using his name
and likeness. Somers’ suit names WWE’s DVD on Shawn Michaels’ career and
the Greatest Cage Matches of All-Time DVD. Somers says that WWE failed
to contact him and ask permission to use his name and likeness, and
never made any attempt to compensate him. The
lawsuit also states that Somers’ health is suffering from his pro
wrestling career where he claims to have suffered more than 400
concussions, broken bones and inoperable injuries to his neck, foot,
back and knee. Somers and his partner Playboy Buddy Rose had their feud
with Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannety from the AWA promotion featured on
several WWE DVD’s and WWE Classics On Demand.
