| 0:00.0 | Greetings, everyone, and welcome to another exciting episode of the Black Letter Body Slam, |
| 0:09.3 | where the legal world and the wrestling world intersect and put on a collar and elbow in |
| 0:16.2 | center court. |
| 0:17.6 | I am your host, Jeff Lippman, sometimes known as Evil Dose, the diabolical lawyer in residence |
| 0:23.8 | in the Wrestling Soup Network, that particular universe of madness in the multiverse of madness. |
| 0:31.1 | All right. |
| 0:32.1 | Listen, I really wasn't expecting to do another show so swiftly about the grand lawsuit. |
| 0:37.2 | I should probably shut up and |

| 1:30.3 | I thought it would be granted. I wasn't really sure because it depends on what the underlying |
| 1:33.5 | claims are and that it seemed like it was too cute by half. And the defense attorneys agreed |
| 1:40.2 | with me because they asked for sanctions and all of that. |
| 1:50.9 | But I did forget one thing, one major thing, and that is that the federal court itself didn't really want the stay. |
| 1:52.5 | They didn't ask for the stay. |
| 1:54.5 | The Department of Justice asked for the stay. |
| 1:57.6 | And we still don't know exactly why, and we're not going to speculate on that today. |
