,Q1. Under Virginia DPOR regulations, a professional wrestler licensed in another
state with substantially equivalent requirements applies for licensure by endorsement.
The Virginia Board denies the application because the other state's continuing
education does not include a course on bloodborne pathogens. Which legal principle
most directly supports the Board's decision?
A. The Full Faith and Credit Clause requires recognition of all licenses issued by other
states.
B. Substantial equivalency allows the Board to impose additional requirements to
ensure public safety.
C. The Commerce Clause prohibits states from discriminating against out-of-state
licensees.
D. The Privileges and Immunities Clause mandates that out-of-state applicants be
treated identically to in-state applicants.
Correct Answer: B. Substantial equivalency allows the Board to impose additional
requirements to ensure public safety.
Rationale: Substantial equivalency does not require identical requirements; the Board
may impose additional requirements to protect the public if the other state's standards are
not substantially equivalent. Full Faith and Credit does not apply to professional licenses,
and the Commerce Clause/Privileges and Immunities do not prevent states from setting
reasonable licensure standards.
Why Wrong:
A - Full Faith and Credit applies to judgments, not administrative licenses.
C - The Commerce Clause does not prohibit all state regulations that impact interstate
commerce.
D - The Privileges and Immunities Clause allows reasonable distinctions based on
residency and qualifications.
Reference: Virginia Code § 54.1-3023; DPOR Licensing Guidelines (2025)
Q2. During a title match in Richmond, a wrestler sustains a suspected cervical spine
injury and is unresponsive. The attending physician orders that the wrestler's head be
immobilized and that the match be stopped. However, the promoter insists that the
show must continue and orders the referee to restart the match. Which action is
legally and ethically most appropriate for the referee?
A. Comply with the promoter's order to avoid breach of contract.
B. Stop the match and follow the physician's instructions, prioritizing wrestler safety.
C. Allow the wrestler to continue if the wrestler gives verbal consent.
D. Call for a timeout and allow the promoter to decide after consulting with the
physician.
Correct Answer: B. Stop the match and follow the physician's instructions,
Page 3
, prioritizing wrestler safety.
Rationale: Virginia regulations mandate that the referee and event staff must defer to the
medical professional's authority regarding wrestler safety. The promoter's contractual
interests cannot override medical directives. Continuing the match would violate safety
standards and could lead to license suspension and legal liability.
Why Wrong:
A - Contractual obligations do not supersede safety regulations and medical authority.
C - An injured wrestler cannot provide valid consent when incapacitated or under
duress.
D - The promoter lacks medical expertise and cannot override a physician's
emergency orders.

Physicians Guidelines (2024)
Q3. A licensed wrestler signs a contract with a promoter that includes a non-compete
clause restricting the wrestler from performing within 150 miles of any venue where
the promoter runs shows, for a period of 18 months after termination. The wrestler
later wants to wrestle for an independent promotion 100 miles away. Which legal
doctrine is most likely to render the non-compete clause unenforceable?
A. The doctrine of res judicata
B. The rule against perpetuities
C. The doctrine of restraint of trade
D. The doctrine of laches
Correct Answer: C. The doctrine of restraint of trade
Rationale: Non-compete clauses that are overly broad in geographic scope or duration
may be considered unreasonable restraints of trade, which are unenforceable under
Virginia law. The 150-mile radius and 18-month duration are likely excessive, especially
given the wrestler's independent contractor status. Res judicata, rule against perpetuities,
and laches are irrelevant.
Why Wrong:
A - Res judicata applies to prior litigation, not contract validity.
B - The rule against perpetuities concerns future interests in property, not employment
contracts.
D - Laches is an equitable defense based on unreasonable delay, not applicable here.
Reference: Virginia Code § 59.1-28.1; Restatement (Second) of Contracts § 186
Q4. A wrestler is required to submit to a pre-licensure physical examination. The
physician notes a history of recurrent concussions and recommends a neurological
evaluation. Under Virginia's licensing requirements, which of the following is the
