R*ngside news is fake news. Please don’t bring that tabloid around here.
I posted it as they have Fightful’s paywalled article in there.
Still, please use another source. R*ngside regularly makes things up and even has a history of harassing people on social media.
Sure will. The only good tabloids were the one by the grocery register after all, lol. Appreciate the insight.
Fake or not, I think things like
Spitting into the crowd Taking the crowds drinks (except for that time it was offered to one of the bucks) Faking seizures And unprotected chair shots are not necessary.
In some cases these antics bring the show down.
Don’t pretend to have a seizure on love TV after an unprotected headshot, or spit in the crowd or take the crowds shit. Yeah have some light interactions, talk shit there’s a line…
Grabbing signs is still allowed I hope, though.
Use plants for stuff like that. I get it you think it’s cool, I think it’s cool too when I’m in TV…but if you had a kid and they worked all weekend on their sign and MJF tore it up and if that kid gets upset it can ruin the experience for him, for his family and maybe turn him off from Wrestling.
I strongly doubt that would happen odds are the kid would be amazed and be happy to be on TV and go to school telling everyone they are gonna become a wrestler and get them back, but I can understand.
Did I miss something happening that would necessitate this? I mean don’t get me wrong, I love the increased focus on safety and I’m fine with the rules but I don’t follow backstage stuff a lot so it seems like this is out of the blue. Did someone get hurt or something?
Also a lot of the stuff like no touching managers or no bats seems very kayfabe-y, considering Sting and managers being roughed go a long ways back.
Also, if y’all really want to improve safety and start a new trend, then you should start wrestler unions and give them actual healthcare and benefits.
