A message to World Wrestling Entertainment
By Kenneth Dennis
Back in 1992, I was involved in a Hit and Run accident with one of your superstars. WWE, I am not here to sue you for stuff that happened 30 years ago. However, Wednesday, I am going to see a doctor to get four bones fused into my wrist. Why? A superstar that you had employed was involved in a hit and run accident.
In Missouri, hit and run is a felony crime. I was living and working in Springfield, Mo. I have a non-union scaphoid fracture, and this bone has been broken for 30 years. Since then, that same driver caused a death in 2015 with vehicle manslaughter.
Plus, Tammy Sytch aka Sunny was also arrested for the same crime. Keep in mind, a wrist injury could have been a lot worse. Keep also in mind, Sunny and Tammy also were involved in a very serious crime. Yet, WWE does not put into place a driver program to teach each superstar Safe Driving? Yes, you employ contracted workers but yet, but contracted workers should take the time and be responsible on the road.
Let me spell this out to you. I am not trying to draw attention to myself, but to ask you to hold yourself accountable to avoid potential lawsuits in the future. You as a major wrestling company, should educate your employees. How many more people is going to get hurt? How many people are going to get killed? The responsibility should start with the employer under which they are contracted. Driver education saves lives. I am asking you as a company to enforce policies to protect your company’s reputation and protect the lives of potential victims. If they break the rules, then they lose their contracts.
I am more than willing to work with you in putting something like this into place with WWE. There are not going to be lawsuits by me on this issue. My interest is to protect people on the road. It protects you as a company, saves wrestlers’ lives, and protects people like me that has gone through this sort of issue. I care about safety and nothing else.
