UK wrestler Kris Travis is getting a WWE tryout with Tensai at today's WWE tapings in Manchester. Travis is 6-1, just under 210 pounds, from Sheffield, and is one of the better indy workers in the UK. He has had a strong series of matches against Chris Masters for Preston City Wrestling.

The best bit from what Pitcos posted:

 

we have one of the worst main events in recent memory in orton and big show because vince needs his fix of big douchebags with no skill to make him more money on top of the millions of dollars he'll already make this year. we have the two most over guys in the company wrestling in the midcard against the wyatt family.

 

Yeah fuck that wrestling promoter for wanting to make money.

Chris Masters gives Travis two cracking matches... WWE notice, consider signing Travis. There's no justice, is there?

Mickie James is helping train at the developmental centre this week. You have to think she'll be popping up on TV sometime soon if she's back on good terms with them.

Next week is a special themed show, "Raw Country" from Nashville, if Mickie doesn't make a cameo I'd be very surprised.

 

WWE are really concerned about the quality of upcoming women wrestlers, Eve Torres was also helping at the performance centre recently.

WWE have made changes to the wellness policy.Adding a Therapeutic Use Exception meaning presumably a talent could smoke medical marijuana as well as a redemption program where talents can get one of their wellness violations.Could suit the likes of RVD and Randy Orton.Changes in full:

 

 

WWE quietly updated its Wellness Policy back on July 23rd. Several things were added, including the following:

 

* WWE talent can request a Therapeutic Use Exception for a prohibited drug if there is a legitimate medical purpose with a valid prescription from a licensed and treating physician. The use of the drug must be required for more than sixty straight days and the dosage must be "documented in accordance with standards and practices commonly accepted within the United States medical community." The TUE will be in effect for no more than a calendar year.

 

* Any WWE talent who is arrested, convicted or who admits to a violation of law in relation to the use, possession, purchase, sale or distribution of drugs will be in breach of contract and subject to immediate dismissal.

 

* A "positive test for alcohol" will result in a $2,500 fine per positive test, taken from the talent's downside guarantee.

 

* A talent who has two violations of the Wellness Policy may enter a "Redemption Program" if the Medical Director approves it. The program is an eighteen month treatment process overseen by the Medicalk Director or an addiction specialist recommended by the Medical Director. Mandatory follow-up testing is required and no further violations during the program are allowed. After this time, talent can request to have a violation removed.

 

* The following provision was added in relation to substance abuse:

 

"Pain medications, and other substances prohibited by this Policy, may be abused at times and can become addictive. A WWE Talent who believes he/she may have a problem with substance abuse is encouraged to self-report and request assistance. No penalties are imposed on WWE Talent for voluntarily acknowledging a problem to the Medical Director prior to a drug test being performed herein and WWE will assist in securing rehabilitation services in such situations. The rehabilitation process can be engaged by a WWE Talent notifying the Medical Director, the PA, WWE Ringside Physicians or the WWE Wellness Coordinator that he/she has a problem and needs assistance."

I didn't think medical marijuana prescriptions were given out willy nilly? Don't you have to have something pretty wrong with you to get a toke of it?

I think so, cancer being one that comes to mind for sure. Otherwise people would be spraining their ankles and such on purpose all year round...
