WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt spoke with The Houston Chronicle about the lawsuit filed on 26th Jun, 2015 by the family of Matt "Doink the Clown" Osbourne, noting that while the suit claims Osbourne worked for WWF from 1985 to 1997, that wasn't the case. As noted here on PWInsider on Friday, Osbourne wrestled for the company from 1985-1986 and then from late 1992 to late 1993 as the initial Doink the Clown. He returned for one show in 1997. McDevitt said the company will be filing a motion to bring the lawsuit (filed in Texas, where Osbourne passed away) to Connecticut. Osbourne's contract stipulated that any legal issues would be settled in CT, where WWE's operations are located.
