He’s also shedding light on the antitrust lawsuit he filed against his former employer, WWE, and why this David vs Goliath battle is so important for the wrestling industry as a whole. And Court shares more stories from his time on the creative team at WWE. He gives a behind-the-scenes look at the big Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio feud that involved Rey Mysterio’s then 8-year-old son Dominik, and some of the ideas that Eddie brought to the table.
