1) What WWE Is Fining Superstars For
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is now fining Superstars for thigh-slapping during matches. Here is what Meltzer wrote:
There was a story going around that WWE was fining wrestlers for “thigh slapping” when throwing kicks for sound effects, a practice that has been in wrestling as far back as I can remember.
Meltzer also added the following on Wrestling Observer Radio about the situation:
“Tonight, just as an example, right outside of the Gorilla Position tonight and on RAW as well there’s a little sign that says: ‘do not slap leg when kicking.’ So that’s the instructions for the main roster. I don’t know if they’re gonna fine people, but they absolutely have a warning.”
My Take:
- Interesting that WWE is trying to remove this as it has been around forever. Maybe it is due to the lack of crowd and any noise being more obvious in front of a quiet arena?
