Federal Court Rules in EC Enterprises' Favor; New ERA CLOSED!
09.03.10: While fans were patiently waiting for the 04.25.10 edition of RAUCOUS to air .. they could have never have imagined the real reason that caused the delay! After the main event, the cameras caught EC Enterprises owner, Jean-Michel LaRoque, Marcus LaRoque's brother and known professionally in the wrestling ring as "Simply Sensational" Sean Edmunds, revealing that the corporation had pulled all financing for the 2011/2012 fiscal year! After dueling lawsuits and a gag order put in place by the judge, the US District Court released the final judgment in the case of "LaRoque v. EC Enterprises" .. According to the federal district Judge, "Defendant (EC Enterprises) was well within the boundaries put in place by the state of Massachusetts with regard to the financial dispersement of its own funds. Seeing as the subject of this matter (New ERA of Wrestling) was under full financial control of defendant, and that defendant was solely responsible for the liability and employment insurance costs, it is the opinion of this court that plaintiff's (Marcus LaRoque) lawsuit is without merit." The two brothers immediately went into negotiations ... and we understand that more information about what has happened will be released in the next few days.
