What's next, no fighting outside the ring?

Lordsofpain.net said:
WWE has updated its talent Wellness policy with a section about concussions. Part of WWE's effort to limit the number of concussions sustained by its Superstars
is a ban on chairshots to the head, which actually went into effect back in January. The section on chairshots reads:

*The WWE has eliminated using folding metal chairs to “strike” an opponent in the head.

*The WWE penalizes through fine and/or suspension the following:

-The intentional use of a folding metal chair to “strike” an opponent in the head.

-Any blow to the head that is deemed an INTENTIONAL act.

*The fine and/or suspension will be directed by the EVP of Talent Relations.

WWE spokesperson Robert Zimmerman recently commented to Connecticut’s Hartford Courant newspaper about the chairshot ban:

“In January 2010, WWE amended its Talent Wellness Program, specifically regarding the ImPACT™ Concussion Management Program originally instituted in 2008, eliminating the use of folding chairs or props to “strike” an opponent in the head.”

then the next thing after that is that they are gonna make the wrestlers, either heel or face dont matter, shake hands and give a hug after every match as a sign of good sportsmanship and to give a positive message to these 90's and 2000's babies

I dont think they usually use real heavy folding chairs. I have seen people use real metal folding chairs... you get knocked the fuck out from them.

- According to Dave Meltzer, the WWE talents have been told to keep busy with WWE affairs during Wrestlemania weekend and not to attend any Ring of Honor or Dragon Gate shows. They have also been told to expect TMZ cameras and not to do anything that would get them in trouble or on TMZ.


Im surprised vince even gives a flying fuck about Dragon Gate
