WWE: Leaked Document Reveals What Superstars Are NOT Allowed To Do At Live Shows
8m0nz9c.jpg

Here are some rules that stood out.

No Yeah/Boo Stuff, except for John Cena
He gets to come to work in jorts, date Nikki Bella and be the only one to do the yeah/boo stuff at a house show? No fair!

No low blows
Ric Flair would have never survived in the modern era.

No piledrivers
Assuming the Undertaker's tombstone would be an exception here, but I doubt we'll be seeing him at a house show anytime soon. Piledrivers used to be a staple of WWE matches in the 80s and 90s, but were eliminated after Owen Hart broke Stone Cold Steve Austin’s neck at SummerSlam 1997.

No belt shots
You would think this was about preventing concussions, but most superstars are safe enough to avoid that in a belt shot. Allegedly, belts are to be kept out of physical danger on a non-televised show to prevent damage. Anyone whose ever tried to buy a replica belt knows those things aren't cheap.

Referees are not part of the entertainment
This is especially bad news for the masses of fans who routinely go to house shows just to witness the craft and artistry of Charles Robinson or Chad Patton.

Do not allow injured talent to "suck it up."
Really good to see the WWE putting so much emphasis into the safety of their talent. That match I mentioned where Stone Cold broke his neck, yet still finished the match ... thankfully, that wouldn't be allowed at a house show.

Stick To The Script
The leaked memo revealed that there should be ‘no impromptu talent promos’ and that all promos must be approved by a producer or Michael Hayes ahead of time.

Apparently WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens did not see this onewhen he yelled at a 7 year old this past weekend.

Now that you've had a peak behind the curtain, do you feel the WWE is keeping their superstars on too tight of a leash?

Man, I went to a house show a couple years ago and was out in a 1hr and 30 mins lol. I understand the safety stuff but they need to let them cut promos and use props like the ref and weapons to add some excitement and stretch the shows out a few minutes.
