Backstage News on WWE’s Twitter Rules, WWE Tops Entertainment

– The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Monday that World Wrestling Entertainment stock posted the biggest gains of any company on its “Showbiz 50″ index.

Up 21% for the month, the wrestling company narrowly topped DirecTV and Dish Network as the index’s best performer. On the whole, the group rose 5.9% for the month.

– According to F4WOnline.com, the latest WWE Twitter “prohibitions” include the following. It should be noted that most of the below rules have been broken recently, so it does not appear WWE is going over-the-top in its execution of the Twitter crackdown.

*Nothing while drunk or while at a bar (and a general directive to be cautious after midnight).
*Nothing directly about a key competitor (such as Total Nonstop Action).
*Nothing that makes reference to talent from another company (such as spending time with a TNA wrestler).
*Limited discussion about UFC/MMA.
