House Approves Amendment to End Military Sponsoring of Wrestling

Posted By: Adam Nystrom of WrestlingNewsSource.com on May 18, 2012

One of the WWE's major sources of sponsorship money could be on its way out.

An approval was given to a bill currently up for vote in the United States House of Representatives that calls for the banning of all military sponsorship of sporting events.  Sponsored by Betty McCollum (D-MN) and Jack Kingston (R-GA), an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2013 Defense Appropriations specifically lists professional wrestling among their sporting events which would no longer be able to accept federal government money.
