Wellness Policy Update: WWE Bans Chair Shots to the Head

Posted by: Wrestling-Radio.com

WWE has updated the wellness policy, to update the Impact Concussion Management Program. Basically, no chair shots to the head. Here is how it reads…

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 (John Laurinaitis).

United States WWE CENSORED RATED FOR KIDS Mar 18th, 2010 10:03PM
YOU CAN'T DO SHIT IN WWE NO MORE. YOU CAN'T EVEN FART IN A WWE ARENA. ITS CENSORED AND FOCUSED ON KIDS UNDER 8 YRS OF AGE..... EVERYONE GO TO TNA!!!!!!!! TNA TNA TNA TNA
United States da swif 1 Mar 18th, 2010 06:03PM
Vince you're a pussy. No blood, censored language, and now no chair shots to the head. Is this old bastard getting dementia and forgetting what made WWE great for all of those years. All i have to say is kudos to hogan angle bischoff to HAVE THE BALLS to allow anderson to split angle's head open and things of that nature and not worry about what the children watching think.
United States Travis Tarrant Mar 18th, 2010 04:03PM
Isn't the use of a chair shot scripted into the match anyway?
United Kingdom big duds Mar 18th, 2010 10:03AM
to be honest real wrestling 915 they both suck at the moment when one group has the opertunity to gain ground on the other - however you are right there are other groups out there that deserve some viewers or tickets bought, here in the uk we have some cracking groups with quality wrestling (xwa/fwa/ipw uk/1pw/ngw to name a few)that deserve people realising what tna/wwe are spoonfeeding them is crap and going indy rant over
United States Toriegh D Mar 18th, 2010 10:03AM
Although I agree with no chair shots to the head, I do agree with most of you all here, it is time to really start watching and supporting ROH, Drangon Gate, Japanesse and mexican promotions, and when vince sees that there numbers for tv and ppv are just as big or bigger than his, then maybe he will wake the fuck up.
United States Real Wrestling 915 Mar 18th, 2010 09:03AM
Yeah i'm with bigduds, watch ROH or Japanese, European, or Mexican wrestling, the only real wrestling left. Now I like TNA but it does need to capitalize on all of WWE's stupid decisions and they need to get better. WWE sucks big time!
United Kingdom bigduds Mar 18th, 2010 07:03AM
in the lead up to its biggest show of the year - when its spanking tna's arse in the ratings the wwe pull this - still could be worse we could have an inter franchise dream match - hogan vs cena - now how would that play out - punch kick sell punch lick sell punch kick sell wwe and 12 year olds the dream audience - fuck it im off to watch roh dvds

STUPID! ABSOLUTELY STUPID!
WRavatar (beta) United Kingdom wjam Mar 18th, 2010 12:03AM
Oh, and one last thing....good luck WWE in all your future endeavors
WRavatar (beta) United Kingdom wjam Mar 17th, 2010 11:03PM
and the UFC are banning kicking and punching lol i have been a WWE fan and wrestling fan for over 20 years now and iv come to the conclusion that WWE isn`t for me anymore....(and not because of this chair ban to the head) i just feel that WWE is not targeted for my age group its for the younger generation now... and there is nothing wrong with that,it just means il have to look elsewhere for wrestling....i just hope TNA can improve...in the mean time its UFC for me
WRavatar (beta) United Kingdom Anonymous Mar 17th, 2010 11:03PM
"Any blow to the head that is deemed an INTENTIONAL act" i take it Orton cant use the punt to the head no more then
United States madmike you FUCKHEAD Mar 17th, 2010 11:03PM
has nothing to do with congress or the NFL you dumb motherfucker. look into it stupid.
WRavatar (beta) United States madmike Mar 17th, 2010 11:03PM
probably feeling heat from congress and the NFL concussion thing
United States PB33 Mar 17th, 2010 09:03PM
This to me sounds like a way for WWE to remove chairs to the head for the PG RATING. Think about it, I really highly doubt guys like Cena or Miz are going to be taking chairs to the head directly. That as we know is usually reserved for your ECW type fellas. The formers being firmly in the "GET YOUR HANDS UP TO PROTECT YOURSELF" portion of the roster. This adding to the wellness policy step, is a way to try to soften the blow to the "WWE universe" What the marks see is... "Remember, we here at WWE truly CARE about our employees, we don't want any concussions...(yeah, we know we put our hands up)This is in NO WAY a reflection of our going to a PG rating" HAHAHA!!
United States WWE COMPLETE SHIT Mar 17th, 2010 09:03PM
wwe totally censored. no more chair shots, no nothing allowed. LMFAO ROFL wrestlers can't even fart in the ring or else they'll get fined and/or suspended. what kind of fucking wrestling is this shit??? LMFAO ROFL... TNA better take advantage of it. TNA RATED R for mayhem,violence,barbed wire bats,thumbtacks,blood,foul language,etc..... WWE RATED PG for kids under 12 yrs of age. LMFAO ROFL LMFAO
Canada jaredc621 Mar 17th, 2010 08:03PM
oh thats another huge blow to wrestling; banning chair shots to the head. just the basic back door move now cant be allowed? damn you vince
United States crazygurl! Mar 17th, 2010 08:03PM
exactly kool-aid boi! wwe has gotten in trouble b/c in tha past i think it was hardcore holly that went off script and and started hitting the guy. And Maniac, how do we take u seriously? ur name is wack!
United States kool-aid boi Mar 17th, 2010 07:03PM
metal chair shots to your head are permitted in TNA, NOT in wwe anymore. maniac has no idea what he's talking about. he's probably making love to his gay lover. LMFAO ROFL
United States Maniac254's GAY LOVER Mar 17th, 2010 07:03PM
FUCKING MORON. NOT TRUE. NO ONE WAS FINED IN TNA YOU DUMB SON OF A BITCH. CHAIR SHOTS TO THE HEAD ARE 100% ALLOWED IN TNA. YOU'RE JUST ONE SAD SAD PATHETIC IGNORANT WWE FAN. GO GET FUCKED YOU SAD CUNT.
WRavatar (beta) United States Maniac254 Mar 17th, 2010 06:03PM
umm stupid smarks chair shots to the head give you CONCUSSIONS and CONCUSSIONS make your brain go out of wack look at Benoit and when Jesse Neal in TNA took a chair shot to an unprotected chair shot to the head TNA was pissed and fined him They can still hit each other in the head with chairs its just that they have to cover it with thier hands
Belgium Delri Mar 17th, 2010 05:03PM
Not only TNA is laughing. Seriously, how is WWE gonna produce a credible product? It's gonna be one hell of a war. A war where two sides battle over who produces the biggest bag of horseshit.
Australia HOT ROD! Mar 17th, 2010 05:03PM
TNA must be laughing right now!
United States kingricky88 Mar 17th, 2010 05:03PM
BOOOOOO wwe need to stop being some babys and stop being Pg nobody like the Pg shit and they need to quit. If they keep on then they are going to lose all their fans to TNA. whats wrong with a lil blood here and their brang back the old school kick ass fighting. We need it back fast.
United States wwe sux crap Mar 17th, 2010 04:03PM
TNA RATED R vs WWE RATED PG ... hahahahahahahah fuck wwe now. wrestlers can't even cut a fart, they'll get fined. check out TNA for an awesome fix of mayhem,blood,foul language and more real mature wrestling. wwe is kiddie crap now.
United States Realwrestling 915 Mar 17th, 2010 04:03PM
This whole thing and the pg rating is gay, WWE sucks! Time to watch real wrestling like some puroresu!
United States Adamman Mar 17th, 2010 04:03PM
well if you getting your head injured just hold your arms up or hold your hands up to your head so you take a chair shot instead of hand and arms down Duhhhhh
United States wwefan82 Mar 17th, 2010 04:03PM
You know you gotta wonder what the "Extreme Rules" ppv is gonna be like with no chair shots.
United States ScottishRex Mar 17th, 2010 03:03PM
Good Job 'bout time tho
United Kingdom jayke1981 Mar 17th, 2010 03:03PM
Thisi si a bit late in the day isn't it? Wasn't this concussion business brought to a head with the Benoit Tragedy? Why wasn't headshots banned back then? And, forgive me, but aren't all head chair shots intentional? Does this apply to ladders too? and what happens in TLC matches? But if the roster approves of the change then I guess they can see ways around their performances! Perhaps bring back true and real mat wrestling? which does stuff up CEna's repertoire!
