wellness policy


So diving off 12 foot ladders onto another wrestler is okay, but drugs violate the wellness policy. Got it.

They let Rollins win presumably knowing this would happen I would guess. Lame.

Lame because I was hoping they were wising up, not because Rollins won. It just cheapens it a little.

Yep apparently they knew about the violation before the PPV, meaning they booked the Triple Threat last night knowing he'll return in time. Still shocking that a #2 guy gets popped for drugs, good for Vince keeping his 0 tolerance policy.

And then Ambrose wins the same night.

Maybe it's just me but I don't see Ambrose as wwe champion material, I feel Seth should be champion and face of wwe. However Rollins doesn't need the title, dean does.

Why even have a drug policy for any work place?

because the feds were on Vince's arse re: steroids. Wellness policy put in place to mitigate some of that. Strict concussion protocol in place as well.


I swear some of you idiots cant get over its performance art instead of legit fighting and act as if rules and regulations shouldnt apply.

I know it's performance art, I think any company regardless of industry has the right to drug test their employees for the welfare of the company and the employee.

It's what's best for business

Go jackets

I guess

So without a wellness policy even more pro wrestlers would die in their 40s?

Best for business?????? I guess. The dude was on last night... And they knew they were gonna sit him down already?????? Nope.....your boy Vince is starved for ratings..... If he really needed to at least half of the talent would be put in timeout for roids.

They had one shot at a Shield triple threat, and it's going to be wasted at a glorified In-Your-House PPV, with one of the guys totally absent from the build.

Wait - what? Let him win? Did the Warriors let the Cavs win?

That was 25 years ago. The wellness program and concussion protocol started after Chris Benoit killed his family. Its also a public relations move. WWE is a publicly owned company now and the wrestlers are celebrities. Doesn't look good if one of them gets busted for drugs and doesn't get punished. RVD was stripped of his world title and suspended 30 days after being arrested once for weed. They're pretty serious about all drugs.
