Background info on Wade's recent career. In 2008 he was involved with the Cirque du Soleil show "Criss Angel Believe" as a choreographer. It was a huge flop, widely regarded as one of Cirque's worst shows ever. As a result the show was revamped - which meant that among others Wade's choreography was removed and replaced by someone else's...
It really seems he's had a couple of great career setbacks recently - he dropped out of or flopped in a lot of projects...
I wonder how seriously Cirque REALLY considered him for the MJ show after this huge flop...
He worked on Happy feet 2
I checked out, it's a movie which also kind of flopped: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Feet_Two
Yes, I know, I was just trying to be fair. People still wanted to work with him after the Cirque du Soleil.
Maybe, his behavior IS all prompted by a downward work spiral. People still wanted to work with him, but perhaps not on the scale he was accustomed to. Maybe, he was really feeling the heat about his failures and lack of major successes lately. Maybe, that's why he felt the need to talk about MJ's Immortal Tour as if it was something he already had a firm commitment. Whatever is going on with him, for him to exploit MJ and child abuse in this manner, shows he has serious mental issues.
That's what I've been thinking too. He might be using the child abuse "trauma" as an excuse for his professional failures - to the people around him and maybe even to himself. When his career was going well, he didn't realise anything was wrong. However, when things started going downhill, he suddenly remembered all the "abuse" he suffered as a child. How convenient.

It was cause Wade Robson's child got sick, that no contracts were signed.
"But here's the rub. A spokesperson for the Michael Jackson Estate -- which produced the Cirque du Soleil show -- tells TMZ ... Robson was "on the list of choreographers but his son got sick and he wasn't used." The spokesperson said there was never a contract between Wade and the show.

He was on a list of choreographers before so even if his son didn't get sick, there was no guarantee that he would've got the job. Which is why it's so strange to hear him talking about it like it's a done deal.

So is turn around fair play, that is why Wade Robson told Matt Lauer about why he is doing this, because of his child. It is about a vendetta against the Estate of Michael Jackson because Wade's child became sick and then future earnings with the Cirque Show are now gone, so the Estate of Michael Jackson can pay him this way and all through Wade's child. Wow an all time new low!
Wade's lawyers unload on Joe for the accusation, writing, "Your statement is particularly reprehensible in light of the fact that [Wade] has only recently been able to come forward which is so typically characteristic and tragic for so many survivors of sexual abuse."
