New drug policy?

Drug Policy Update
January 17, 2006

WWE has been working diligently to complete its new wellness program for talent, which includes an aggressive drug and steroid testing program and heightened cardiovascular monitoring. The company believes it has identified a third-party that will be able to implement the program, which will be done independently of WWE, and is going through final phases of its due diligence. WWE believes the program will be ready to implement before the end of the first quarter of 2006.

WTF? Is this angle-related or is this for real?

You been living under a rock or something? A new drug policy was brought in, like the day after Eddie died.

[Y3J]

This was a knee-jerk reaction to Eddie's death.

[Y3J]

All full-time contracted WWE employees are subject to it. Triple H will now have a part-time contract.

[Kane Knight]

You forgot to mention lip service.

I have no doubt it'd work short term, but over time, this'll fall apart.

By short term I hope you mean by the end of the first quarter of 2006?

I may have been. May have actually read a headline about it, but didn't actually clicked it.

Could've been planned, but this is the first time I've heard anything about it. This should've been done along time ago. Like, the second that the lawsuit with McMahon and Hogan was settled. They waited for neary 12 years after something SHOULD'VE been done to do ANYTHING about it, when they KNEW they were an issue. Before Eddie, there was Curt Henning, who was killed from drug-related stuff (not sure the exact cause they said, and I know I'm missing someone between Eddie and Henning).

There's been wrestlers who have been dying at a younger age on average than normal, in my mind. I'm wondering why this hasn't been done along time ago....but then again, we see the MLB just NOW cracking down on steroid pumping themselves, so I guess Vince is taking after Bud Selig: Introduce a system that they should've established years ago.

You should know that by now, Mr. Pudding.

I know. I'm just kind of optimistic that they would've at least had some common sense by NOW!

Eddie was a contemporary and a fan-favorite. Curt was not. Not to knock the man, but the impact of Eddie's death was greater.

A lot of people die due to drugs in the wrestling world. Vicne has swept it under the rug and will continue to in the future. Eddie was a current main event caliber star...When hit by one he couldn't avoid...

Reported by: PWInsider.com

It is being reported by some within WWE that Vince McMahon has collected approximately 1,000 hyperdermic needles in the past month; with 200 of them belonging to Mark Henry, 300 belonging to Chris Masters, and a whopping 500 of them from heroin addict Christy Hemme (who is no longer with the company). Hemme was reportedly "furious and downright mean" after being told that she couldn't take them home after her release.

In other WWE drug related news, the reason for John Heidenreich's release early this week has been revealed. Apparently, during a visit by RVD backstage at SD, Heidenreich was found beating the glass window of a vending machine, his eyes bloodshot and complaining of "cottonmouth and the munchies." When asked by senior official Arn Anderson what the problem was, he replied: "High-den-High-den-Reich!" before bursting into peals of laughter.

After this was brought to the attention of Vince McMahon, Heidenreich was reportedly fired. His smoking buddy on that occasion, one Rob Van Dam, was let off with a warning. Our source said Vince was very lenient, even patting RVD on the back and muttering: "That crazy pothead."

[Impact!]

Lol, as sad as it is, I believed it up until the second paragraph.

I believed it until I saw "hyperdermic."

[FourFifty]

Can somone ban this dude? Seriously, lay down the ban hammer on him. Every fucking post in every fucking thread is "Irish Bastard."

[FourFifty]

Then start your own little "I jerk off to Fit Finlay" thread thread and stop posting in every single thread.

[Savio]

(Don't tell him I said that to his face):wtf:

Its obvious Gene uses/d roids.

[darkpower]

Focus on FINLAY...

He's the only: FIGHTING IRISH BASTARD in WWE, but make sure you don't tell him to his face...

Because he'll stomp ya...

He's giving new meaning to the term: FIGHTING IRISH...

You mean Zip of the former Body Donnas, right? Yeah, reason to be scared.
