Any WWE Talent, who leaves the WWE for any reason with a first or second violation on his/her record, will maintain said violation count on his/her record from the time he/she departs WWE until the time he/she returns, if ever, to the WWE.

In addition, any WWE Talent, who is terminated by the WWE for a third violation of the Policy, will be prohibited from returning to the WWE for at least one (1) year. If any WWE Talent, who is terminated for a third violation of the Policy, is permitted by the WWE,
in its sole discretion, to return to the WWE, then (1) such WWE Talent must test negative for all prohibited substances under this Policy during the pre-contract screening process; (2) such WWE Talent will return to the WWE with a first and second violation of this Policy against his/her record; (3) such WWE Talent must undergo the mandatory unannounced follow-up testing set forth in Section 8 C (1) of the Policy for a period of at least one (1) year after execution of his/her new contract with WWE; and (4) such WWE Talent will automatically enter the Violation Redemption Program as defined below.


D. REDEMPTION PROGRAM

A WWE talent who has “two” violations under the Policy may, subject to Medical Director approval, enter the Redemption Program. The Redemption Program is an eighteen (18) month process that requires the following:

An initial assessment conducted by the Medical Director (or, as the case may be, an addiction specialist recommended by the Medical Director) who will analyze the addiction related issues and health related concerns then being experienced by the WWE Talent, develop proposed treatments, therapies and/or support programs that may assist the WWE Talent in managing these issues/concerns and determine initial entry date for the WWE Talent into the Redemption Program;
Compliance with the assessment recommendations made by the Medical Director (or, as the case may be, an addiction specialist recommended by the Medical Director) for the duration of the eighteen (18) month program;
Mandatory unannounced follow-up testing as set forth in Section 8(C) (1) of the Policy; and
No violations under the Policy for eighteen (18) consecutive months after initial entry into the Redemption Program.
Upon successful completion of the Redemption Program, the WWE Talent shall request the PA, with the approval of the Medical Director, to delete one (1) of the two (2) violations of record for such WWE Talent. In the event the PA determines in favor of the request, the violation record for such WWE Talent will then be amended to reflect the reduction of a violation leaving the WWE Talent with only one (1) violation under the Policy.


Pain medications, and other substances prohibited by this Policy, may

Yeah so likely many of these people don't have strikes anymore.

He trained some semi-famous guys before he got saddled with the blueberry gimmick.

Sure he showed John Morrison the ropes IIRC.

Very good choice as trainer. Was actually a very good wrestler in OVW but his Eugene gimmick didn't allow him to showcase that. I am sure he doesn't care though since that gimmick would have made him a good amount of money when he was with the company and even on the independents. Remember back in the day following the OVW weekly television report and he was always a main player there and having solid matches. Very well rounded wrestler and I am sure he will excel in this role as long as he steers clear of the pills.

Conway would have been another good get, nice to see WWE investing in a number of new trainers for NXT. Always good for there to be a variety of trainers with different backgrounds and careers.
