What is that league teaching its officials?

WWE is completely choreographed

A little off topic -- but as a former professional wrestler (and theater major - so I know what choreographed is haha), I can attest to the fact that 95% of our matches are never "choreographed" -- the outcomes ARE decided and we'll talk through how the match will end so the "referee" knows when to count to 3.

So that's what I take from what people are saying on here when they call it NBE -- I think it is a slap in the face to our colleagues, essentially calling the league rigged and thus them cheaters. I know (or HOPE) that's not the intention -- but like you VATerp, thats how it comes across to me.

I worked mainly with WCW, so worked with a lot of those guys -- Meng was one of my trainers (big Samoan guy), Billy Gunn, Eddie Guerrero (RIP)... in a battle royal got knocked around by a lot of famous guys hahah.

And while the punches are pulled, a chair to the head is still a chair to the head, getting slammed on your back is still being slammed to your back, etc.
