The story says that Billy Jack is suing because he felt WWE hid the risks of concussion from him. They just didn't know the risks in the 80's, at least not the extent of them. I doubt he has any legal ground to stand on, but it will be interesting to see what happens. With lawsuits in football and now wrestling, we could see a real change in the way professional sports are played in the future.
