Dale Gagner Claims WWE Has NOT Won the Lawsuit Against AWA

October 30, 2008

I was contacted earlier by Dale Gagner and a representative of Wrestling-Radio.com sent in the following on his behalf. It should also be noted that PWInsider.com has posted a copy of legal documents involved in this case which can be found at this link.

In an exclusive discussion with Wrestling Superstars Live Promoter Dale R. Gagner www.wrestling-radio.com is able to confirm the original AWA is NOT DEAD. We are also able to squash any previous reports (now deemed as false) that suggest the WWE has won the lawsuit against the AWA. Dale R Gagner angered by recent reports said “It’s amazing how the internet is always the definitive word without doing their research”.

Gagner went on to say “The WWE claim against the AWA has 23 counts/complaints. The summary judgment, which we had no intention of winning, was for 1 count out of 23. Does that mean they won a lawsuit? We are currently appealing even the 1 decision however as part of a confidential settlement, we are disbanding www.awastars.com website. It is now known as www.wrestlingsuperstarslive.com, representing the rich history and legend of the AWA sanctioned World titles.

It’s important that websites with credibility get their information correct and not second hand. I am always willing to do an interview and confirm the truth.”
