WWE Trying to Clamp Down on Spoilers for Mae Young Classic

WWE apparently asked at least one person to stop posting spoilers for the Mae Young Classic last night at Full Sail Live and threatened to remove them from the building if they continued to do so.

JJ Williams, a correspondent for the Wrestling Observer who has reported NXT spoilers for years, said last night that “I’ve been told to not post finishes anymore by someone who works for the company” and later added, “I was approached and specifically told that they would have to ask me to leave for posting finishes. I asked is that the new rule for everyone? I was told no, it was just the rule for me because I ‘work for a dirt sheet.'”

I've been told to not post finishes anymore by someone who works for the company, we've had a good run. @WONF4W @davemeltzerWON

Further detail on the situation

I was approached and specifically told that they would have to ask me to leave for posting finishes. I asked is that the new rule for everyone? I was told no, it was just the rule for me because I "work for a dirt sheet"

I was also told that if it was any other fan they wouldn't care. Simply because the Wrestling Observer endorses me as their reliable person on site I have now been singled out and am less than a fan to WWE.

At this point I have no idea what I can and can not post. Any photos from tonight would be a spoiler as to who advanced, these tickets were $50 per night and yes I always pay for my own tickets to events so why would I risk being removed over petty drama?

The worst part is all I've ever wanted to do was promote the talent with photos and gifs in addition to showing up.

There's nothing I can do, I'm not even shocked, mostly disappointed, and even if I'm less than "just a fan" I'll still be at Full Sail tonight having a great time.
