Fined!

WWE's Corporate website has announced that both Triple H and The Undertaker were fined by the company after Taker was hit in the head with a chair at WrestleMania this past weekend.

Chair shots to the head in professional wrestling have been banned since the Chris Benoit murder suicide in 2007, when research done on Chris' brain showed excessive damage thanks to the years of repeated, unprotected chair shots to the head.

It looked like a vicious shot. Until I saw the replay, I thought Taker had really taken the shot. The replay shows that Taker barely got his hands up. It was dangerous, and a bit cringe-worthy, and I'm glad WWE is taking action for this.
