UPDATED REPORT: WWE has made an official statement on Martha Hart's lawsuit. WWE's lead attorney Jerry McDevitt claims Martha Hart's lawsuit is the first time WWE has heard from her since both sides settled Owen Hart's wrongful death lawsuit in 2000. He stated that "WWE has the right to use its own copyrighted material."

Martha gave an interview with the Politico and said, "WWE certainly has no problem marketing, distributing products with [Owen Hart's] likeness on it which again, create a false association between me and the WWE, which does not exist. I have to scream it to the world: I have no association with these people."

She also claims to have sent the WWE a cease-and-desist desist" letter on March 25, 2010 before the Hart and Soul DVD set was released, which contradicts McDevitt's claim, and stated there is no political motivation behind her lawsuit or its timing.

Note from Ryan Clark: I'd expect WWE to go after that domain name she has set up.
