Wrestling changes
Issue regarding tape applied to external surface of a wrestler.
Rule is: no tape may be applied to head gear.
This came about from the Head Gear manufacturers that were concerned with changing the integrity of the head gear. Any changes to the head gear must come from the head gear manufacturer directly.
