WWE rules leak online:
A document advising talent and producers of Vince McMahon's rules was left behind after a recent live, and has been posted online. It makes for interesting reading...
Talent rules...
- No pile drivers. Also, if there is anything you think is questionable, please contact Michael Hayes for more information.
- Referees should not play a factor in our finishes. It is important to keep their credibility. Do not compromise the referees or put them in compromising situations.
- Please make sure all talent do not go up on the ropes during their entrances.
- Please do not let talent stall too much, especially during the 1st match.
- *NEW* No impromptu talent promos. Promos must be approved ahead of time by Michael Hayes, or, by the LE Agent/Producer and talent must run the promo content by an agent/producer and agent/producer must approve.
- NO ONE IS TO DO THE YEA-BOO STUFF, EXCEPT JOHN CENA.
- NO LOW BLOWS. ALSO ANY USE OF CHAIRS, TABLES OR OTHER OBJECTS MUST BE APPROVED FIRST.
- AGENTS NEED TO APPROVE HEELS TAKING A WALK DURING THEIR MATCHES AND LIMIT TO THE TOP MATCHES ONLY.
Production notes...
- Refs and Producers - If talent takes a bad bump or seems to have hurt themselves please...
- Stop the match and check on talent.
- If the ref is unsure if talent is OK, wave ringside doctor in to check on talent, all the while moving opponent to a neutral corner.
- If the doctor deems the talent unable to continue - stop the match and have injured talent helped to the back for medical attention and award the match to the opponent.
- If the talent wants to continue and the ref and doctor agree they can continue without doing further damage, then the talent should be able to get to their feet on their own and the ref can restart the match.
- Any time a competitor is really hurt the ref should go to their opponent and stand in front of them with his arms crossed. This is the sign the match has been stopped. Please pass on to talent and referees.
- If talent takes a bad bump or seems to have hurt themselves, DO NOT...
- Give into talent who want to "suck it up" and continue the match. The talent's wellbeing always comes first. Never let an opponent attack their injured opponent to get heat.
- If talent is opened up and you must stop the match, later in the show if the cut is closed and the bleeding has stopped it is ok to send the heel back out to cut a promo bragging about their victory and send the babyface to the ring 'spirit of 76' to then make a comeback and hit finish on the heel.
- If we do a ref bump during the match, have the ref bump to the floor and have a 2nd referee come down and finish the match. Please DO NOT have the ref that was bumped remain in the ring peeking to see when he should get up and finish the match.
Cody Rhodes admits mixed feelings about a WWE return:
"I don't know the full answer as to where I'm going. I wish I knew. My wife asked me the other day, "What if they called you and said, 'Come back at the Royal Rumble'?" I said, "No, I don't think I'd be interested in that." She said, "What if they said, 'Come back at the Royal Rumble, and make it about you and Triple H and head to WrestleMania with that'?" And then my answer really changed. Maybe in my heart, the end game is to go back to WWE, but it's definitely not in the forefront of my mind. Each time I go out there, I find out a little bit more about where I'm ultimately happy being.''

WWE UK announcement:
Triple H came to London today to announce the new WWE United Kingdom Championship will be won in a two day, 16 man tournament, which will be taped in Blackpool and aired on the Network. ROH legend Nigel McGuiness will co-host with William Regal, and Michael Cole will call the matches.

"I think it's been brought up. But there's a lot of people in a long line that deserve to be in the Hall of Fame that will be in the Hall of Fame over time. That's a conversation that will happen. We'll see where it goes. But there are a lot of people and you can only put so many people in per year. I don't think her passing signifies any change of her accomplishments. Her accomplishments are documented and were massive in our industry. Nothing has changed. She's a part of the Hall of Fame conversation, but she would have been anyway."
