Two Superstars Fined after WrestleMania 27!

From Corporate.WWE.com:

"Pursuant to WWE's Concussion policy, the stunt of using a folded metal chair shot to the head is prohibited. Triple H and The Undertaker have both been fined for violating this policy at WrestleMania XXVII. WWE penalizes through fine and/or suspension for violation of this policy, which is unchanged and still in effect."

Thoughts?

I KNEW IT!!!! I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!!

soon as HHH took that chair and hit Taker in the head i said to my friends "wow that was an unprotected chairshot to the head...those are banned in WWE"

they were shocked cause they dont keep up with WWE so they didnt know..

but yeah i noticed that chairshot which is 'illegal' in WWE now. Good to see WWE proving that no one is above the law for these things.

Poor Undertaker, he was the one hit with the chair! Haha.

Why was Undertaker fined for being hit with a chair?

He may or may not have known about it. I would have thought he would get compensated before fined though. Or is this just my view on how things should work?

I remember watching this insane YouTube video of New Jack, Iron Sheik, and Honky Tonk Man after the Chris Benoit incident. New Jack went on a profanity-laced tirade about how many times he'd been hit in the head with a chair and how it didn't cause him to go crazy, etc.

Ah well. I'm actually surprised to see these two, of all people, getting fined. The clique has been known to improvise during matches before, though. Like the time Scott Hall spit on Stevie Ray and pissed him off for real. He told it better than I do anyway...

HHH isnt the type of guy to hit someone with a chair, knowing WWE banned it, without checking with that person first. Him and Taker are both family men and company men.

so i'm guessing they agreed to the chairshot beforehand which is why Taker got fined and also..if you noticed, Taker got his hands up too. so i think he was aware of it.

it was probably something they both agreed to do to increase match quality and just didnt tell WWE Officials...because they would object to it. Taker and HHH probably knew they'd get fined but hey, what's a little money compared to a 4 or 5 star match @ WM that people will talk about for long time?

So Wrestling's real now. How come Rock doesn't get fined for saying ass all the time. Cena need to get reimbursed.
