Hausman also thinks some older wrestlers might pick up on some of the medical revelations that came to be in this case, and form a case of their own against WWE or WWE’s doctors. He thinks there will be more cases similar to this one in the future.
He also notes that Amann’s case mightn’t have been the best case scenario for trying a situation like this in court. People have been ridiculed on podcasts before a lost their livelihood, jobs, marriages, and more over things that were said about them. In this case, Dr. Amann didn’t really lose anything. Hausman is actually surprised that Punk and Cabana didn’t counter-sue but X-Pac isn’t. He notes that this trial took up a lot of their time and energy, and counter-suing at that point is not something he’d recommend.
X-Pac notes that WWE has made huge strides over the years in terms of how they take care of their employees. He can’t really discuss what happens there now because he’s not around that often, but from the time he debuted there to the time he walked away they had made significant strides. He also can’t remember a situation where he wasn’t completely taken care of by WWE during his time working there.
X-Pac informs that WWE employees are insured if an injury happens in a WWE ring. He also notes that every performer there has enough money to buy their own health insurance and that’s something that they should do. He recalls getting a lot of heat prior to 2000 for asking about group medical in WWE. That was a little too close to Union talk for WWE’s liking and he got in some hot water over that.
