Breaking News: WWE Suspends 10 Wrestlers

[GorillaMcGee]

There's no way in HELL they suspend any top stars, BANK ON IT,

Sure they will. 30 days is nothing. It won't even effect most feuds/angles.

read my last post though.

It should be stressed that it was not confirmed that any of these men are among the 10 wrestlers that were suspended by WWE earlier today (those names will be made public on November 1). For those who remember the Sports Illustrated investigation earlier this year, WWE was very aware of the names involved and chose not to suspend anyone at the time because the time frame took place before the Wellness Policy was put into full gear. It is possible WWE could still suspend these wrestlers even if dates took place before February of 2006 due to media and government pressure. Chris Benoit, Brian Adams and Eddie Guerrero were also on the list as well. Several more WWE wrestlers were said to be on the list as well, including one wrestler who was scheduled to be hired this week.



EDIT-But you have a point, figures why SPOILER***********











Rey is taking Batista place.





But Kennedy's angle is the biggest thing going in WWE right now...idk

That would be funny---well, maybe not funny---if Sydal is on the list.

That one hired wrestler could be Johnny Stamboli.

[GorillaMcGee]

That one hired wrestler could be Johnny Stamboli.

That's a likely assumption...

[NoobThumper]

Wait, I'm confused. The list of suspended wrestlers will be made public on November 1st? So does that mean that none of the suspensions will actually go into effect until that date, or no? Because I think if we notice a large chunk of the wrestlers missing from TV for 30 days, we'll probably be able to put 2 and 2 together.

[highroad]

Even if Randy Orton isn't suspended he will probably still not get the WWE title.

Imagine if Orton won the title, Nancy Grace would be talking so much ****.

[ElBonemeister]

I'm just relieved that my man Snitsky has dodged this lol.

I lol'd.

Who cares what Nancy Grace thinks? The only people who watch her on a regular basis are those just as dumb and brainwashed as she is.

[Rockon2233]

Yeah I find it hard to believe that these documents can be so thorough (sp) without naming Cena, HHH, Lashley, Batista. the top names. Cena claims to be clean, and Lashley was always jacked, but he added almost 80 pounds of muscle since his ameteur days.

I'm one of the few that does believe guys like Cena and HHH can be clean, but it's just kinda odd that their names are never mentioned.

they got their juice for another pharmacy obviously

X2

[ANIMALISTIKZ]

REGAL? lol!

[Baker19]

Omg Funaki!!/"/$)&"$?( Noooo

[super shocker]

Well I guess for the next few weeks if you want to watch 'roided up freaks everyone can tune into TNA and watch Scott Steiner to get their fix.

But seriously, if all these main guys might be out for a while then people might as well give it a shot.

[alicairo]

found this other article no info you haven't heard
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2...400628,00.html

just saying WWE could expand & needs 10 guys & 1 hr for ECW .. making it 2
& now they're 10 guys out well maybe it's not so bad ..

What's the deal now they'll either need new talent, or wonder will they do anything? Will virtually all these people come back .. some one is going I think

If it were me my needs list would be 20 wrestlers.. At least
that'd include an extra hour & some house cleaning

"In an article by T.J. Quinn of the New York Daily News, the newspaper received a list of wrestlers who were clients of Signature Pharmacy. The names listed were:

Randy Orton
Charlie Haas
Adam Copeland aka Edge
Robert Huffman aka King Booker
Shane Helms aka Gregory Helms
Mike Bucci aka Simon Dean
Anthony Carelli aka Santino Marella
John Hennigan aka John Morrison
Darren Matthews aka William Regal
Ken Anderson aka Mr. Kennedy
Chavo Guerrero

ESPN added three other names
Dave Bautista
Shoichi Funaki
Chris Mordetzky aka Chris Masters

Based on records obtained through sources by the Observer months back, Copeland's last reported prescription came several years ago, when he was recuperating from neck surgery. So many of these incidents here may have predated the Wellness policy implemented in February 2006. It is known Orton and Helms' had transactions that predated the policy, and that the timing of both Copeland and Helms' transactions at the time came during periods of injury rehabilitation. So it may not yet be the time to make Ken Anderson look like a fool, depending on the date, because he has admitted use prior to February of 2006.

It is by no means confirmed that these men are among the ten who were suspended earlier today.

WWE was aware of many of the names months ago from a Sports Illustrated investigation and chose not to suspend the wrestlers at the time because the time frame predated the Wellness policy.

If the prescriptions did predate the policy, suspensions are questionable, but perhaps due to government pressure, WWE feels it has no choice. If the prescriptions were dated after February of 2006, the company had little choice in the matter.

Three other names, now deceased, Chris Benoit, Brian Adams and Eddy Guerrero were also on the list. There are believed to be several more former WWE wrestlers on the list, including one that was expected to be hired this week."

Funaki?!?!?! I guess you have to take juice to recover from getting your ass beat all the time.....

[E-Go]

I'd assume we'll find out Mon, Tues and Fri about who is on the list. If Morrison drops the title, If Regal or Vince "suspend" Randy for his actions and so on.

[dts1789]

Sure they will. 30 days is nothing. It won't even effect most feuds/angles.

of course it will affect angles and feuds.

Because I think if we notice a large chunk of the wrestlers missing from TV for 30 days, we'll probably be able to put 2 and 2 together.

No, it reads like those that violated the policy after November 1, 2007 would be make public. Didn't anyone else read it like that?

[NukeDukem]

Whoever was listing Mysterio with this suspension is mistaken. He was possibly linked to Dr. Astin, not Signature pharmacies. These suspensions are not due to positive drug tests, but due to embarassing the company by being involved in a public bust. Mysterio would be f*cked if anything actually came of those rumored connections to Astin only by initials.

Also LOL at Funaki, Smackdown number one drug abuser

[PaHulkster]

Since when does ESPN cover WWE? Gotta get those ratings up I guess.

[NukeDukem]

They should bring back 190 pound Rock to convince everyone they are done pushing steroid freaks

[NukeDukem]

According to the Torch, Sports Illustrated is listing Umaga as well.

Major Scandal Update: Who Was Receiving What Inside
08/30/2007 by Ryan Clark

? Sports Illustrated has received information on the drugs and dates received by various WWE wrestlers, all of whom fall after the institution of the Wellness policy.

? Based on these dates, the entire policy's credibility is shot in the sense there were detectable drugs purchased by talent through Internet doctors, a practice banned by the company's Wellness policy.

? In addition, Ken Anderson (Mr. Kennedy) comes across like a complete fool because his last package was sent in February, one full year after he claimed to have gotten clean due to the Policy. Between October 2006 and February 2007, Anderson received Anastrozole (which is not a steroid, but used to counter affects of steroids such as development of female breast tissue), ****tropin (a Growth Hormone) and testosterone (an anabolic steroid).

? Benoit, who died June 24, 2007, received nandrolone and anastrozole in February 2006. (Anastrozole is used by athletes to counter side effects of steroid use, such as water retention and breast enlargement.)

? Two weeks prior to Eddie Guerrero's death on Nov. 13, 2005, he was sent nandrolone, testosterone, and anastrozole. Guerrero died in a Minneapolis hotel room due to what a coroner later ruled as heart disease, complicated by an enlarged heart resulting from a history of anabolic steroid use.

? Chavo Guerrero, who found his uncle Eddie dead in the Minneapolis hotel room, received, among other drugs, ****tropin (HGH), nandrolone and anastrozole between April 2005 and May 2006.

? Between November 2003 and February 2007, Shane Helms, a/k/a The Hurricane, received, among other drugs, testosterone, genotropin (HGH) and nandrolone. (As previously reported by SI, he allegedly received HGH from an Arizona doctor in 2005.)

? Starting in September 2004 through February 2007, Randy Orton received ****tropin, nandrolone, stanozolol.

? John Hennigan, a/k/a Johnny Nitro, a.k.a. Johnny Morrison, is the current WWE Extreme Championship Wrestling's heavyweight champion. Between June 2006 and February 2007 he was prescribed ****tropin, anastrozole, testosterone, stanozolol and chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone produced naturally during pregnancy. (HCG is taken by anabolic steroid users to stimulate the production of testosterone, which is suppressed as a result of steroid use.)

? Ken Anderson, a/k/a Mr. Kennedy, lost to Eddie Guerrero in Guerrero's final match on Nov. 11, 2005. Kennedy received shipments of anastrozole, ****tropin and testosterone between October 2006 and February 2007.

? Shoichi Funaki received ****tropin in March 2006.

? Brian Adams, a/k/a Crush, who retired from the pro circuit in 2001, was found dead of unknown causes on Aug. 13. He received nandrolone, testosterone and ****tropin or HGH in December 2006.

? Charles Haas was prescribed anastrozole, ****tropin, stanozolol, nandrolone and chorionic gonadotropin between August 2006 and January 2007.

? Edward Fatu (Umaga) received ****tropin between July and December 2006.

? Between November 2004 and November 2006, Darren Matthews (William Regal) received stanozolol, ****tropin, genotropin, and anastrozole.

? Adam Copeland, a/k/a Edge, received ****tropin, genotropin (both HGH), and stanozolol between September 2004 and February 2007.

? Sylvain Grenier received ****tropin, nandrolone, genotropin and stanozolol, starting in February 2005 through July 2006.

? The company by the wording of its policy would be forced to suspend these wrestlers, aside from Benoit and Guerrero, because this would indicate flagrant violations of the policy after implementation.

? The company suspended ten wrestlers, but this list only includes nine active wrestlers, two of whom, Helms and Copeland, are out indefinitely due to injuries.

[Hardbody316]

If you guys didnt think that 90% of the active roster was on some sort of "ILLEGAL" substance then you are just naive....

there is no way in hell they could maintain that body or intensity level night after night and be able to recover fast enough without using something...

give them a freaking break...they are on the road 330+ days a year night after night....get rid of the gay house shows and let them freaking rest

[NukeDukem]

man, why would a Samoan need growth hormone?

[DaHooligan]

man, why would a Samoan need growth hormone?

LMAO

Damn WWE is cracking down but they should release a list of the wrestlers.

[PatrickDurden]

Sure as hell would be great if Cena was one of em but you know damn well he isn't lol

Yeah, that would have been nice.

Top wrestlers Randy Orton, Charles Haas, Jr., Adam "Edge" Copeland, Robert "Booker T" Huffman, Shane Helms, Mike Bucci, Anthony Carelli, John "Johnny Nitro" Hennigan, Darren "William Regal" Matthews, Ken "Mr. Kennedy" Anderson and Chavo Guerrero were all identified as clients of Signature Pharmacy in Orlando, the site raided by Albany County and Florida law enforcement agencies in February for distributing steroids and other prescription drugs to clients who had not been examined by doctors. The investigation is part of a probe into illegal Internet drug distribution by Albany D.A. David Soares.

Damn, that sucks. How's ECW going to go without their champion?

How long are they suspended?

[NKWulf]

Yeah, that would have been nice.





Damn, that sucks. How's ECW going to go without their champion?

How long are they suspended?

30 days....however nothing has been confirmed. I would assume that WWE will release the info soon though to either confrim or deny all the rurmors.

[NoobThumper]

Damn, that sucks. How's ECW going to go without their champion?

How long are they suspended?

I'm guessing that Punk wins a title match against Morrison this Tuesday. He would have won it at the next PPV anyway, so this will just make things happen quicker so the brand won't be w/out a champ for that period of time.
