Changes Made to WWE Wellness Policy

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that WWE has banned the highly controversial drug Carisprodol commonly known as Somas. This change which took place over the weekend has become an office amendment to the company's Wellness Policy and will mean no Superstar or Diva can use the drug even if it has been prescribed by a doctor. It is said to be a very popular drug among the WWE roster and is used to relax muscles.

The drug has been the subject of many embarrassing and often dangerous moments for the industry over the past decade including wrestlers passing out publicly and at the wheel of cars.

Jim Ross Comments on WWE Wellness Policy Amendment:

“I think that it’s a great idea. Too many wrestlers took/take Somas recreactionally much like wrestlers used to smoke weed in the 70′s. Prescription pill abuse is a huge enemy of all wrestlers who abuse them. Pain medicine, Somas, ambien, and xanax are an evil mixture especially when mixed with alcohol and taken in excess.”
