Describing itself as "a neophyte in dealing with Hollywood agents," the World Wrestling Federation on Monday filed papers in federal court in New York seeking to nullify its contract with the William Morris Agency.

The lawsuit accused WMA of trying to trick it into giving away "a perpetual annuity on creative endeavors" of the wrestling group, including its newest efforts to launch an "extreme" professional football league. "They want to get their money for nothing, like in the old Dire Straits song," WWF lawyer Jerry McDevitt told today's (Tuesday) New York Post. "William Morris wants their clients to work for them, instead of them working for their clients.".
