Ronald Caza, a partner at Heenan Blaikie, is representing the Plaintiffs. The defenant was known as Abdullah the Butcher. (Brings back memories, and I've totally lost respect for the guy, a Canadian) Accused of cutting himself and his opponent without the opponent's consent. I think it's akin to not disclosing you have it or HIV when about to have unprotected sex. Besides the civil suit, IMO it's criminal.
The Plaintiff's story: http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2011/04/16/18016631.html
http://www.dontbleedonme.com/ A website for the documentary on the issue. The golden age of wrestling had a lot of blood spilling and comingling and a lot of wrestlers seem to have it or had gotten it. The current page says management ordered bleeding in matches even when it knew one of the wrestler's had Hep.
