According to several high level sources within WWE, the new Saturday Morning Slam show, set to debut on the CW Network on August 25th, will carry an interesting, unspoken match rule due to the fact that the show is geared towards children.

WZ has learned that the matches taped for Saturday Morning Slam are not to feature moves aimed at the neck, which would include anything from a simple headlock to an RKO.

At this point the feeling is that moves performed to the neck might come off as too violent, so WWE is avoiding any type of offense that gives the appearance of "snapping" or targeting the neck area.

It remains to be seen if this is a rule WWE will adhere to long term, but it's being said that the first match taped for Slam, which took place at this week's Smackdown taping, did not feature any offense aimed at the neck.

Sounds like a silly rule

I like it. WWE, protecting the youth of America.

Smh @ the barbarians ITT who want kids ages 3-8 seeing such horrific violence on Saturday morning programming. Shame on you all. I hope Randy Orton surpise RKOs you all when you least expect it and breaks all of your necks. We will see how funny those brutal assaults are then, tough guys.
