Joel Simon passes away
June 20, 2011

WWE is saddened to learn of the passing of former WWE Films President Joel Simon. Joel launched what is now known as WWE Studios in 2002 and was integral in expanding WWE into the motion picture business. As head of WWE Films, Joel produced The Marine, The Condemned and See No Evil. The company sends its sincerest condolences to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

- WWE is now testing for the synthetic marijuana, also known as “spice” or “K2″. If you test positive for the fake weed, you still get the $2500 fine that a real marijuana violation carries.

This has several WWE talents upset because when WWE began cracking down on real weed, a lot of the guys started smoking the fake weed so they wouldn’t get fined. The fake marijuana has been made illegal by some states and is considered a “drug of concern” by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
