More on Dinsmore and WWE Wellness Meeting

----www.1wrestling.com is reporting that Stephanie McMahon had a meeting at 4:00 PM yesterday with the talent. Dinsmore was at the meeting. After the meeting, he was notified of his release and escorted out of the building. Dinsmore was not part of the Signature Pharmacy list. It is believe that Dinsmore release was more of a “damage control” effort and that Dinsmore had failed a drug test.

----Here are the changes made to the Wellness Program announced by Stephanie McMahon yesterday.

*New talent signed by WWE will need to be drug tested before being signed.
*Marijuana testing will now be in effect by WWE. If tested positive, talent will be fined one thousand dollars each time failed. Also, if tested positive for marijuana, talent will not be suspended and will not be included in their “three strikes” rule.
*The drug “anti-estrogen” [Anastrozole] will be added to the banned items talent will be tested for.
*From November 1st, talent who violate the Wellness Program will be made public by WWE.

----Also HHH talked with everyone sometime before the show and told the boys that the whole industry is under and attack and everyone needs to stick together.
