Updated….

I received a note from Scott Epstein.  He informs me that he is still accepting bookings for BoogeyMan, who will be able to accept the bookings after June 16th, the 90 day Clause stipulation.  BUT promoters will not be able to advertise until after that date too.
If you want Boogey for a future date, please drop an email to Scott Epstein @ [email protected]  Boogey has a TON of bookings already so if you want him for a future show, get in touch with Scott as soon as possible.

FORMER TALENT REHABILITATION ASSISTANCE
March 24, 2009

Beginning in September 2007, WWE distributed its first rehabilitation assistance offer to all former WWE contracted talent.  The goal of the initiative is designed to help any former talent that may have a substance-related dependency problem.  The WWE distributes an annual letter to all former talent notifying them of the program and relevant details.  In March 2009, more than 535 former talent letters were sent out.  The WWE has a confidential hotline where former talent may call and seek admittance to a certified treatment center, with all expenses covered by WWE.  In addition, the WWE maintains regular contact with talent who have entered a rehab program or reached out for WWE assistance.  To date, 3.1% of former talent have accepted assistance.

To read the annual letter, please click here.

For further information or questions, please contact the WWE Corporate Communications Department at
