TNA News
Konnan files a racial discrimination lawsuit against TNA, alleges drug use by office workers
Mar 20, 2008 - 10:36 PM


Konnan filed a lawsuit against TNA Wrestling in which he accuses the company of racial discrimination. The lawsuit includes allegations of drug use among “higher ups” in the company, according to a story posted on WrestleZone.com. TNA has 30 days to respond to the lawsuit.

Powell’s POV: This lawsuit has been in the works for months. I know that Konnan was actually hoping the legal papers would be served to TNA officials on Christmas Eve, but his lawyer determined the case wasn’t ready yet. Konnan claims to have witnessed drug use by TNA office members and has stated that he has a long list of witnesses who can verify his racial discrimination allegations.

I have not read the actual lawsuit, but I know at one time that Jeff Jarrett was a primary target of many of the allegations. Konnan had a much better relationship with Vince Russo than he did with Dutch Mantel over the years and was at one time an advocate for Russo’s creative work, but both men are named in the lawsuit.

Konnan is represented by Cary Ichter, the same attorney that represented several wrestlers in a discrimination case against Turner Broadcasting and WCW. Ichter also represents Michael Benoit, who is said to be considering the possibility of filing a lawsuit against WWE over his son Chris Benoit's suicide.
