WWE News: Lawsuits, Lillian & 12 Rounds


The latest WWE news going around focuses on a lawsuit against WWE/Vince McMahon, the next WWE films production, and Lillian Garcia's charitable efforts.

- The Memphis Daily News is reporting that Memphis pro wrestling promoter Corey Maclin is suing WWE and Vince McMahon for pulling Jerry Lawler from a scheduled match where he was booked to face Hulk Hogan in Memphis, Tennessee last year.

Lawler pulled out of the booked appearance because he claimed that his WWE contract would not allow him to work since footage would be shown on VH-1's Hogan Knows Best reality show. During this time, Hogan was not on good terms with WWE. Paul "Big Show" Wight ended up taking Lawler's place. (Source: twnpnews.com)

- According to PWTorch.com, the next WWE movie in the works is "12 Rounds" which is currently in pre-production. The movie focuses on a plot similar to the Marine which starred John Cena. It involves "Detective Danny Baxter is about to have the worst day of his life when an evil crime lord kidnaps his girlfriend and forces him to go '12 Rounds' around the streets of New Orleans". John Cena will be playing the lead role, and no other cast has been listed yet. The scheduled release date is September 5, 2008. (Source: PW Torch.com)

- WWE Divas member, Lillian Garcia is sponsoring a child from Zambia, a part of Africa. WWE.com has a full page article discussing the diva's great act of charity.
