The history of the WWE is filled with tragic tales. Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit, two of the greatest performers in the history of the sport met their end under devastating circumstances. Steroids were speculated to be the cause for death in both cases.
To avoid a repeat, the WWE has been very cautious in their approach (case in point, Daniel Bryan’s forced early retirement after repeated concussions). More recently, over 50 past stars including legends such as Road Warrior Animal, Chavo Guerrero, Paul Orndoff and Jimmy ‘The Superfly’ Snuka have decided to sue the company for the effects of repeated head injuries.
To avoid such incidents in the future, WWE has decided to enforce the Wellness Policy upon all its employees.
