Even more outrageously, WWE attempts to argue that, as a result of its baseless accusations, the Court should order the disclosure of privileged attorney-client communications. For the reasons explained more fully below, this is yet another example of WWE&#8217;s continuously harassing motion practice, and its Motion should be denied in its entirety,&#8221; attorneys wrote in their filing.<\/p>\n<p>The filing went on to outline the plaintiffs&#8217;s responses to each of WWE&#8217;s accusations in their motion for sanctions, concluding that the motion should be denied.<\/p>\n<p>WWE now has until October 17 to file their response to the plaintiffs&#8217;s response.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-682653644\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>There is also a date of October 7 for WWE to respond to the plaintiffs&#8217;s response for summary judgment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deadlines<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sept. 19: New Deadline for Plaintiffs to respond to sanctions<\/li>\n<li>Oct. 7: New Deadline for WWE to respond to PT&#8217;s summary judgment response<\/li>\n<li>Oct. 17: New Deadline for WWE to respond to PT&#8217;s sanctions response<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2240075385\"><div id=\"pwtor-2724611060\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE Concussion Suits Updates &#8211; September 2016 Suit #1 &#8211; LoGrasso &amp; Singleton vs. WWE September 19 Update: Sept. 19 was the deadline for the plaintiffs (Vito LoGrasso and Evan Singleton) to respond to WWE&#8217;s <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2016\/09\/21\/lograsso-vs-wwe-concussion-suit-update-plaintiffs-respond-wwes-motion-sanctions\/\" title=\"LoGrasso vs. WWE Concussion Suit Update &#8211; Plaintiffs respond to WWE&#8217;s motion for sanctions\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1239,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[71,2962,2712],"class_list":["post-32082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news_wwe","tag-wwe","tag-wwe-concussion-lawsuit","tag-wwe-concussions"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/WWELogo_3x2.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32082"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32082\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32083,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32082\/revisions\/32083"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
