The Rock Being Sued for “Ballers”
According to TMZ.com, The Rock, Mark Wahlberg and HBO are among those being sued for the hit show “Ballers”.
Everette Silas and Sherri Littleton have filed a lawsuit in federal court, claiming that they had the idea for a project called “Off Season” in 2007. The suit claims they were close to a deal with Rock, Wahlberg and their manager in 2009 to develop the project but things fell through when Silas and Littleton insisted their names remain under “Created By” in the credits. Their lawsuit lists several similarities between Off Season and Ballers, and they are seeking unspecified damages. HBO told TMZ, “We are confident the case has no merit.”
Will The Authority Get Payback on WWE Raw Monday Night?
WWE is teasing that The Authority might get payback against Roman Reigns on Raw Monday night, according to WWE.com:
Roman Reigns might have defied The Authority and the McMahon family Monday night by defeating Sheamus and capturing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but The Big Dog’s conquest came after leveling Mr. McMahon with a Superman Punch. As countless Superstars can attest, you don’t cross the boss.
On SmackDown, Sheamus claimed that Reigns’ actions — which also included attacking Triple H at WWE TLC —are currently under investigation by The Authority. Then, Reigns utterly dismantled the security team that attempted to remove him from the arena. Despite holding sports-entertainment’s grandest prize, a harsh fate might await The Big Dog on Raw.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
