Barnett also adds that they have made some clarifications in the rules involving referees. The rules stand on any wrestler, manager, valet or second, willfully assaulting a referee or any other official. They fines still stand. But after talking to the wrestlers & reading emails from the fans, they are toning down the physical contact rules with an official. There will be instances when contact between the wrestler & the official is unavoidable. The NWA wants to stop the wrestlers from shoving or physically hitting an official to get a disqualification. It will still be on a case by case basis. The Commissioner thanks the fans & turns the show back over to Solie & Caudle.
