- There are a lot of WWE talents who are now glad that the election is over. One inside said, “The Democrat talent knows their role right now is to be quiet.”

- WWE Medical Director Dr. Joseph Maroon recently said that the company is going to start having wrestlers wear padded helmets while doing in-ring training. Also, when talents are learning how to punch, they first will have to practice on dummies as opposed to practicing on training partners.

I bought a bunch of those DVD's.

Wrestling causes head truama, that is always going to happen. Why not have them protected when no one is watching? I thnk some people will bitch about this and say it is further "PGing" the WWE. I say this is not a big deal and it will not effect the TV product.
