Holy Shit! 10 WWE Superstars suspended

WWE suspends 10 wrestlers



by Dave Meltzer

WWE today officially suspended 10 of its performers based on information received from investigators in the Albany, NY district attorneys office.

None of the names have been released but it will likely be obvious over the next week who at least some of them are.

The suspensions would likely be based on proof that performers were using Signature Pharmacy or another Internet prescription type firm after the implemenation of the Wellness policy.

The company also has informed all performers that beginning 11/1, the company will publicly release the names of anyone who is suspended under drug policy violations.

This could potentially fuck up Unforgiven.

[IC Champion]

Not if they're all jobbers, or in development.

[BigDaddyCool]

Um, it is probably Rey Mysterio, and now that he is gone again Batista is back up to #1 contender.

[Jordan]

This is swweeeet... I hope Rey is on that list, as well as Khali and Batista.

[Mercury Bullet]

Hmm, wow. I guess they aren't f'n around anymore...

Or if they are all bums then I guess they're just trying to act like they mean business...

[The One]

Tista Contendership Comin' Up!

[Mercury Bullet]

I hope the list looks something like this:

Batista, John Cena, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, Great Khali, Bobby Lashley, Snitsky...

[Mercury Bullet]

Watch there be somebody really odd on their too....




Shannon Moore.

[Chuck Jones]

Santino Marella and Eugene, are names I can see on that list for some reason.

[The One]

EVERYONE! Make your fantasy list of 10!

[KingofOldSchool]

I hope the list looks something like this:

KEEENNEEDDDYYY...
...KEEENNNEEDDDYYY...
...KEEENNNEEDDDYYY...
...KEEENNNEEDDDYYY...
...KEEENNNEEDDDYYY...
...KEEENNNEEDDDYYY...
...KEEENNNEEDDDYYY...
...KEEENNNEEDDDYYY...
...KEEENNNEEDDDYYY...





...KENNEDY.

[Chuck Jones]

Santino Marella
Eugene
Highlander Rory
Jeff Hardy (if he is on that list, he is one dumb fuck for being suspended after a suspension)
Lance Cade
Balls Mahoney
Jimmy Wang Yang
Shelton Benjamin
Major Brother #1
Major Brother #2

The list will likely be a bunch of lower card guys with or two semi big names on it.

[BigDaddyCool]

Watch there be somebody really odd on their too....




Shannon Moore.

No, just typical.

The 10 are: Shannon Moore, Paul London, Brian Kindrick, Jimmy Wang Yang, Jamie Noble, both Majors, Dave Taylor, Kenny Dextra, and Rey Mysterio. All guys they don't do anything with any ways, and Rey because he is Bats' way of eternal #1 contendership.

[Mercury Bullet]

1. Batista
2. Great Khali
3. Bobby Lashley
4. Shelton Benjamin
5. Jeff Hardy
6. Lance Cade
7-10 are guys we've never heard of

[KingofOldSchool]

It won't be any champions, so guys like Khali, Cade, etc won't be on there.

[The One]

Cade could still be on. You know damn well that the Texas guys with the big gold belts aren't REALLY Champions.

[Mercury Bullet]

Neither Khali nor Cade would surprise me at all.

[Xero]

"In what can only be called perplexing, Vince McMahon has been suspended, without pay, for one month."

:shifty:

[Kane Knight]

It won't be any champions, so guys like Khali, Cade, etc won't be on there.

John Cena is on the list; thankfully, he will overcome the odds and make it to (insert name of next shitty PPV).

[Kane Knight]

"In what can only be called perplexing, Vince McMahon has been suspended, without pay, for one month."

:shifty:

You think that's bad? He once sued himself.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

From the NY Daily News:

- The WWE was rocked again today, after several of wrestling's top names emerged in the Albany district attorney's probe into a widespread Internet doping scandal.

The wrestling congomerate based in Stamford announced that it will suspend 10 of its biggest stars for violation of its wellness policy.

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

John cena FU's the test results

WOWWWW cena could be champ for another year.

[jaycool2k]

Yeah i know, not sure how reliable it is though, just looked through some pages.

[Skippord]

lol if Edge and Helms got suspended while injured

[SammyG]

Fuuck, Not Kennedy.

[RP]

chris benoit killed his family

[Mercury Bullet]

lol if Edge and Helms got suspended while injured

I wonder if their suspension will run concurrent to, or after their injury time off.

[jaycool2k]

Shocked about Edge if this is all true, after reading his book, would not think the guy to dabble in that stuff. Oh well...

[KingofOldSchool]

Buuuttt Kennedy stopped taking steroids, he said so himself. :'(

[jaycool2k]

Shocked about Edge if this is all true, after reading his book, would not think the guy to dabble in that stuff. Oh well...

Plus i guess that would be the Triple H, King Booker angle down the shitter!

[Skippord]

Havent they known about all of that since like March?

[SammyG]

1. Great Khali
2. Batista
3. Rey Mysterio
4. Randy Orton
5. Santino Morella
6. Umaga
7. Chavo Guerrero
8. Dunno
9. Dunno
10. Dunno

[rob11]

Wait, are all those guys heels? That's funny!

[KingofOldSchool]

Plus i guess that would be the Triple H, King Booker angle down the shitter!

Yeah that angle ended at Summerslam.

[Mercury Bullet]

Where's Don West screaming about how bizarre it is when you need him?

[BigDaddyCool]

So...shouldn't that mean Orton is fired?

[BigDaddyCool]

BTW, I don't trust that list. If William Regal has been taking 'roids, then he needs to get his money back.

Then again this could be pain pills.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Bad Chavo. For shame.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Mind you these had to be done prior to Feb.... And no one knows how far before Feb.

[Shaggy]

If that list that sorta ends a few things right now...

1. Orton Vs Cena is now done with (Cena remains champ untill Mania Vs Triple H)

2. Booker T Vs Triple H feud is now done with

3. We will have to wait even longer now for Mr. Kennedy to be revealed as the bastard child (or they could just pick someone else now)

4. CM Punk is now ECW Champ

[KingofOldSchool]

But then again how many of those are actually the ones who got suspended?

And also what kind of suspensions do they mean?

Remember, their suspension terms are shady. They could still be put on TV, but not get paid. Or get kept off of house shows or whatnot.

[IC Champion]

Yea, I assumed some were probably for pain medications.

[jaycool2k]

I have just checked this out myself now, this is the full article on the NY news site...

Top WWE names emerge in doping scandal

The WWE was rocked again today, after several of wrestling's top names emerged in the Albany district attorney's probe into a widespread Internet doping scandal.

The wrestling conglomerate based in Stamford announced that it will suspend 10 of its biggest stars for violation of its wellness policy.

In a list obtained exclusively by the Daily News, 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.

The WWE said in a statement that it issued suspension notices based on independent information received from the Albany D.A.

The WWE's announcement comes as members of Congress prepare to investigate steroid use in professional wrestling, as the Daily News reported today.

Two of its recently deceased stars - Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero - also received steroids and other drugs from Signature, as prescribed by Florida physician Gary Brandwein, who has pleaded not guilty to criminal sale of a controlled substance and criminal diversion of prescription drugs. Benoit murdered his wife and son before killing himself in June and Guerrero died in a Minneapolis hotel in 2005 from heart disease.

Guerrero received the steroids testosterone and nandrolone, along with the estrogen-blocker anastozole, a drug commonly taken by men on steroids to prevent developing breast tissue, Nov. 2, 2005, just 11 days before he died of heart disease.

Guerrero's nephew, Chavo Guerrero, found Guerrero unconscious in the hotel room.

Benoit received steroids from Signature, based on a Brandwein prescription, in February, 2006.

The WWE stars are among the first athletes to face discipline for their part in the nationwide Signature Pharmacy scandal, the Internet steroid ring that has already led to guilty pleas from nine doctors, anti-aging clinic owners and operators. Law enforcement sources have said they expect the names of numerous NFL and Major League Baseball athletes to emerge as well.

[RGWhat316]

WOW, if all of this is true. If it is, Cena will be champion for another 5 years, and it looks as if Orton won't be now. Punk might actually be champion as well now.

[KingofOldSchool]

See there is a problem with that.

11 people are mentioned and only 8 of those are currently active. And they said that 10 WWE Superstars were suspended.

So I still don't see some of those guys mentioned being taken off TV.

[CSL]

There are 11 names on that list.

[Xero]

That's not the list of the suspended workers, just a list of who were clients of the online pharmacy in Orlando.

[KingofOldSchool]

Oh and if anyone is wondering, Anthony Carelli = Santino Marella.

When asked for comment one wrestler, under the condition of anonymity, said, "Kennedy!"

[Mercury Bullet]

So...shouldn't that mean Orton is fired?

Yup. I think this is violation number 713.

I'm from the uk, so not sure how reliable this site is...

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/2007/08/30/2007-08-30_top_wwe_names_emerge_in_doping_scandal.html

Have a look for yourself. :)

[BigDaddyCool]

Now...how old are these records?

[Corkscrewed]

Now I want to see which ones actually get suspended.

[gatoconbotas]

Yeah, there's 11 names on there and two of them are off injured.
There's no way that the list is the people who got suspended, but even if some are they won't be taken off of TV; they'll just work without pay or something of that nature. Even Vince isn't stupid enough to screw with his shitty storylines even more.

I am excited for names to be made public in the near future, though.

[Mr. JL]

I'd mark out now if CM Punk cuts a huge promo saying how John Morrison only beat him because of steroids, being that Punk's 'straight-edge hardcore' and all.

[Xero]

Even Vince isn't stupid enough to screw with his shitty storylines even more.
Right, it's much better to tell the wrestlers "you're still going to get a push, just not get paid"... A push can lead to more money.

Vince needs to take them off TV and send a message to the rest of the roster. Otherwise this is just going to continue until they drop the wellness plan all together.

[ClockShot]

ESPN picked this up and they got some same names and a few different names. Here's the article.

World Wrestling Entertainment, under fire since one of its top stars was involved in a double-murder suicide, announced the suspension of 10 of its wrestlers on Thursday.


They are being suspended for violating the WWE's "wellness policy."

The move comes as investigators from the Albany, N.Y., district attorney's office have been gathering information about steroid use by WWE wrestlers as part of a wide ranging investigation into online pharmacies and the doctors who write prescriptions for them.

WWE did not release the names of those suspended. A source close to the investigation said that WWE was told that the following wrestlers were among the clients of one of the pharmacies under investigation, Signature of Orlando: Shoichi Funaki, Dave Bautista, Adam "Edge" Copeland, Chris "Masters" Mordetsky, John "Johnny Nitro" Hennigan, and Shane Helms. Chris Benoit, the wrestler who killed his wife and son before hanging himself in June, was also a Signature client, as were two other wrestlers who recently died, Eddie Guerrero and Brian "Crush" Adams.

The Albany district attorney's office is examining online prescription mills where doctors get paid as little as $25 to issue online prescriptions, which in turn are filled by friendly pharmacies. In addition to Signature, its investigators raided pharmacies in Mobile, Ala. and Bay Ridge, N.Y.

Among those who have pleaded guilty are a Florida doctor named Claire Godfrey, who has admitted to prescribing performance-enhancing drugs at least two WWE wrestlers. In exchange for a plea that will keep her out of prison, she is cooperating with prosecutors.

The suspensions, which were accompanied by a WWE pledge to make future actions public after Nov. 1, comes at a time of mounting pressure on the WWE. A spokesman for the House Energy & Commerce Committee said Thursday that its commerce subcommittee will be holding hearings into the WWE in late September. The aide said a witness list has not been finalized.

Also looking into the company is the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. In a request that parallels what was asked of Major League Baseball, the committee is seeking a list of drugs covered by the WWE's policies, the number of tests it conducts annually, the protocols followed after a positive test and the procedures for awarding exemptions.

The issue of steroids and WWE largely faded until late June, when Benoit killed his wife and son in their suburban Atlanta home before hanging himself. His body was found to have 10 times the normal level of testosterone, as well as the anti-anxiety drug Xanax and the painkiller hydrocodone, authorities said.

The WWE instituted its current drug testing policy after the November 2005 death of Benoit's best friend, Guerrero, 38, who was found dead in a hotel room in Minneapolis. On Aug. 15, a day before WWE officials met with the Albany prosecutors, Adams, 44, was found dead of undetermined causes in his Florida home. Toxicology tests are pending.

The WWE has insisted that it randomly tests its 180 athletes at least four times a year. But its program has been criticized by a number of people, including David Black, the president of Aegis Sciences, a laboratory in Nashville that runs the WWE's testing program. "The intention is not to punish, but to get them [the wrestlers] to engage in a different lifestyle," Black said in a July story in the New York Times.

[gatoconbotas]

Right, it's much better to tell the wrestlers "you're still going to get a push, just not get paid"... A push can lead to more money.

Vince needs to take them off TV and send a message to the rest of the roster. Otherwise this is just going to continue until they drop the wellness plan all together.

But then you're using logic, something that WWE officials have proved time and time again that they're not capable of.

I honestly think that nothing major will change TV-wise. Same characters, same storylines.

[BigDaddyCool]

As noted earlier, T.J. Quinn of the New York Daily News received a list of WWE wrestlers who were clients of Signature Pharmacy and were as follows:

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

ESPN also produced the following three names as well:

* Dave Bautista
* Shoichi Funkai
* Chris Mordetzky (Chris Masters)

Based on records obtained through sources a few months ago, Adam "Edge" Copeland's last reported prescription came many years ago when he was recovering from neck surgery.

So, it is likely many of these incidents took place before the Wellness Policy was implemented in February of 2006. It is said to be well known that Orton and Helms' transactions took place well before the WWE's new drug policy and that the Helms & Copeland transactions took place during injury rehab. It also may not be the smartest thing to jump on Ken Anderson already, depending on the date, as he admitted to steroid use prior to February of 2006.

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.

So lets no jump to any conclusions.

[Innovator]

If it gets Morrison off my tv, i'm all for it

BDC, a Boogen title run could be in the future

[RGWhat316]

Damn, even more names and details are being listed now.

From SI.com:

While the WWE declined to release the names of the suspended athletes, SI has learned that a dozen professional wrestlers have received steroids and/or human growth hormone through the drug network. The WWE would not confirm which, if any, of the following wrestlers are among those suspended:

• 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, somatropin (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 somatropin, 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 somatropin, 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, somatropin and testosterone between October 2006 and February 2007.

• Shoichi Funaki received somatropin 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 Somatropin or HGH in December 2006.

• Charles Haas was prescribed anastrozole, somatropin, stanozolol, nandrolone and chorionic gonadotropin between August 2006 and January 2007.

• Edward Fatu received somatropin between July and December 2006.

• Between November 2004 and November 2006, Darren Matthews received stanozolol, somatropin, genotropin, and anastrozole.

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

• Sylvain Grenier received somatropin, nandrolone, genotropin and stanozolol, starting in February 2005 through July 2006.

Through WWE spokesman Gary Davis, the applicable WWE wrestlers listed above declined comment.

[loopydate]

ESPNEWS just ran a brief version of the story, mentioning that there were ten suspensions (which we know), but only naming Copeland, Orton, and Hennigan by name. I would think if they were just speculating based on the list of clients, they'd have gone for a bigger star (i.e. Batista or Chavo - with Chavo's connection to Eddie) than Hennigan, so I think those three are actually among the suspended.

[IC Champion]

Look at all the pill poppers.

[KingofOldSchool]

lol Funaki

[Avenger]

Seriously though I've always said to people that Cena is the one guy who has not done roids and not that he never will but he is not that guy.

[FourFifty]

I am splitting this list up four ways.

First off, the "GOD DAMN IT" list.
Randy Orton
John Morrison
Mr. Kennedy
William Regal

M'eh, I could do without a month of thse guys
King Booker
Chris Masters
Batista

M'eh
Simon Dean
Chavo Guerrero
Funkai
Charlie Haas (as long as it turns into a singles push for Shelton)

Who cares, they're injured
Edge
Shane Helms
Santino Marella

[KingofOldSchool]

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), Somatropin (a Growth Hormone) and testosterone (an anabolic steroid).

omgf kennedy is the mang1!1!1

[IC Champion]

Randy Orton sucks, where as King Booker does not, make note for next time 450.

[KingofOldSchool]

Kennedy sucks, where as King Booker does not, make note for next time 450.

[FourFifty]

Orton could have been the man to end Cena's year long title run. I would have gotten Unforgiven just to see Cena drop the title to Orton.
As of Kennedy, that man is money. He's the only saving grace behind the Vince's kid storyline. Just think of Kennedy vs Shane, or Kennedy vs Triple H. Kennedy is money.


....Money!

[KingofOldSchool]

Yeah and both Shane and Trips will be carrying his ass.

[mrslackalack]

Be interesting to see how things go. Sadly we might see more of BDV, Snitsky, Henry, and Khali on our screens.

[FourFifty]

People didn't bitch too much when Eddie and Angle were carrying Lesnar.

Okay, Trips might carry Kennedy, but Shane, the man who isn't a full time wrestelr? The man who has spent more time in mid air for spots than on the mat? I think Kennedy could hold his own vs any spot monkey.

Yeah but Shane will bump his ass off for Kennedy.

Actually Shane is a better seller than half of the current roster.

Kennedy can not carry a match to save his life, the last two weeks should be an indication of that.

[Blitz]

lol Funaki
My thoughts exactly.

[FourFifty]

Kennedy can not carry a match to save his life, the last two weeks should be an indication of that.

:mad:!!!



.......:mad:!!!

[IC Champion]

I would also like to note that Shane McMahon is awesome.

[Splaya]

So....HHH number one contender match on RAW?


Cause if it happens and we win, we all know Cena loses at Unforgiven :lol:

[KingofOldSchool]

I think WWE should drive a dump truck full of money to Chris Jericho's doorstep.

[BigDaddyCool]

I wish WWE would just say who is suspended so the speculation will end.

[BigDaddyCool]

Based on independent information received from investigators from the Albany County, NY D.A.’s office, WWE has today, under the penalty provisions of its wellness policy, issued suspension notices to 10 of its performers for violations. It has been WWE’s practice not to release the names of those who have been suspended, but notice has been sent to all WWE performers that names of anyone who is suspended under the Wellness Policy as of November 1 will be made public.

That is 2 months away, that is silly.

[Splaya]

I think WWE should drive a dump truck full of money to Chris Jericho's doorstep.


Vince on his knees would be way better.

Good God if this gets Jericho in the WWE, then fuck all the Roiders:love:

[mrslackalack]

Heck Vince might even make a call to Hogan.

[KingofOldSchool]

Heck Vince might even make a call to Hogan.


Yeah the King of Roids is the last guy Vince needs right now.

[KingofOldSchool]

http://www.pwtorch.com/artman/publish/article_21532.shtml

"[WWE Attorney Jerry] McDevitt said there may be two more suspensions tomorrow. He said they have to talk with the talents to confirm information first."

[BigDaddyCool]

Yeah the King of Roids is the last guy Vince needs right now.

No one is talking about Stiener.

[Avenger]

Someone go check Trips, Austin, Rock, Taker for steroids right now. If they were ever heavy takers I would be very surprised. I'm sure they had their run-ins with the stuff but I doubt very much it was ever serious. The four best WWE have ever had really.

[The One]

I think WWE should drive a dump truck full of money to Chris Jericho's doorstep.

And park a private jet in his backyard.

[KingofOldSchool]

No one is talking about Stiener.

Nah, Hogan has been taking them since Steiner was just a little kid.

But of course, when Hogan croaks, Steiner will take the crown.

[KingofOldSchool]

And park a private jet in his backyard.

And move WWE Headquarters to Jericho's home.

[The One]

And move WWE Headquarters to Jericho's home.

I'm pretty sure by this point they'd be obligated to offer everything as far as the eye could see.

[Avenger]

Can I just add that Jericho is a God?

[Avenger]

For no specific reason.. it's just a fact.

[Avenger]

It's worth stating.

[Avenger]

Cos it is. Break down the walls.

[KingofOldSchool]

Jericho should come back, single handedly beat Cena and Khali for their titles and then feud with CM Punk for the ECW Title.

[Avenger]

Why are the good ones always shat on?

Is that the meaing of life?

The good ones are always shat on...???

[BigDaddyCool]

Jericho should come back, single handedly beat Cena and Khali for their titles and then feud with CM Punk for the ECW Title.

What and be the first person to unite the titles twice?

[KingofOldSchool]

What and be the first person to unite the titles twice?

Yes.

And while he's at it, he can beat Triple H, King Booker, and Jerry Lawler so he can become King Jericho.

[Innovator]

He already is King

[BigDaddyCool]

Yes.

And while he's at it, he can beat Triple H, King Booker, and Jerry Lawler so he can become King Jericho.

What about King Harley?

[Kane Knight]

Right, it's much better to tell the wrestlers "you're still going to get a push, just not get paid"... A push can lead to more money.

Vince needs to take them off TV and send a message to the rest of the roster. Otherwise this is just going to continue until they drop the wellness plan all together.

Fuck that. He needs to start suspending these people before Congress starts investigating them. He needs to send a message to Congress (Ineffectual or not, because you little cunts start crying), his investors, and anyone who might sue him.

[BigDaddyCool]

I wonder if WWE is going to raid TNA's locker room for replacement talent.

Also, lets all stop sucking Jericho's dick. He was good, but not nearly as good as whatever one is making him to be.

[Corndad]

Good lord has this been a terrible year for WWE.

Benoit Tragedy, Other deaths, Numerous Injuries to Big Stars, Ratings in the crapper, now this. Damn.

[Avenger]

Fuck that. He needs to start suspending these people before Congress starts investigating them. He needs to send a message to Congress (Ineffectual or not, because you little cunts start crying), his investors, and anyone who might sue him.Before anything happens...

and I mean before anything happens.

You need to...

Because you really are such a loser.

[Avenger]

KK is gay. And not in the homosexual sense of the word but in the totally useless pathetic mainstream derogatory sense of the word.

[IC Champion]

That wasn't very nice.

[Avenger]

and wha?

[Avenger]

I want HHH!

I want HHH!

I want HHH!

I want HHH!

I want HHH!

Fuck that. He needs to start suspending these people before Congress starts investigating them. He needs to send a message to Congress (Ineffectual or not, because you little cunts start crying), his investors, and anyone who might sue him.I mean come on this is the gayest post lol.

It's wrestling you loser.

[FourFifty]

Rule number one of tpww.net- Jericho is God. If you say he's not God you'll feel the wrath of the wrestling fourm.

[Avenger]

His only fault is that he's too good.

[Avenger]

and will therefore never be truly successful in wrestling..

[Kane Knight]

I wonder if WWE is going to raid TNA's locker room for replacement talent.

OMG STFU. Jericho outpopped DX, Jesus, and CM Punk!

lol Just the reaction I wanted.

[VonErichLives]

notice how most the time frames are between x-date and 2/06, 2/06 is when the raid was... tells me they don't have very accurate records... they're not saying it was continued purchases over that time, but whatever purchase or purchases were made fell during that time period, so it would be the first date they listed and then nothing since.

on a side note, Funaki? What, was he tired of getting beat up as smackdowns #1 reporter....

[BigDaddyCool]

Maybe I'm dumb. But is it possible that some of these purchases were for legally precribed drugs? Or am I just trying to hard?

[KingofOldSchool]

Maybe I'm dumb. But is it possible that some of these purchases were for legally precribed drugs? Or am I just trying to hard?

Well this case has to do with them obtaining the drugs illegally. Since some of them are prescription drugs, obviously they needed prescriptions in order to get them. Well the problem is that they obtained them illegally because they weren't authorized by a doctor to take them.

[Dave Youell]

Maybe I'm dumb. But is it possible that some of these purchases were for legally precribed drugs? Or am I just trying to hard?
We are dealing with the media here, lets not trying to bring your so called theories that disagree with ours ok? Even if they were legal prescriptions there’s no need to bring that up, it would make the story look weak and unfounded, we can’t have that now can we…….

Now get me Marc Mero!

This whole thing will force WWE’s hand, until I see something they have published with the names on, I’m not going to jump to any conclusions, Fox News will tell me what to think instead, it’s easier that way

[BigDaddyCool]

Ok, I was just checking, i don't really know all that much about how to do things illegally.

Just yesterday I learned all you need to do is bump feet in an airport men's room stall to get arrested for gay sex.

LOL YEA, WTF was that about BDC? I didn't understand how that guy got arrested. Like I heard the whole recording and was like "ok, so what did he do wrong?"

Also the hand signal, running your hand along the bottom of a stall is part of it. He said he was trying to pick up a piece of paper off the floor and that is why his hand is down there. But seriously, who picks up paper off an airport men's room floor. Also, when has been asking for gay sex been a crime?

[BigDaddyCool]

Then again, sodom, i.e. anything but penis to vagina sex, is illegal in lots of states to get gays, but it is a rarely enforced law. It is basically to arrest a bunch of fags in a park restroom after dark.

If you're asking a 15 year old boy i'm pretty sure it's a crime.

Sorry, I was trying to be funny, I failed, I'll go now.... :'(

[Kane Knight]

By the way, the example of Edge having a prescription doesn't actually mean he did nothing wrong, sicne he got the scrip from a doctor who's been indicted in steroids scandals for, you know...Writing bogus scrips.

The shit Eddie was talking? Shit stops your heart. Gee, I wonder why he died 11 days after that.

This company that's being investigated is not your average drug store. One wonders why someone would go to such a locale if they had a prescription on the up and up. I can't think of a reason. I can think of several reasons why they wouldn't go to a legit place if the Rx was bogus and/or not on the up and up....

Errr...I mean, stupid news media...Edge had a perscription, he told us so...I mean, who would you rather trust? Reporters, or carnies who do drugs to get better at a fake sport?

(Come to think of it, it's more or less a lateral move sometimes).

[Kane Knight]

Sorry, I was trying to be funny, I failed, I'll go now.... :'(

The Eddie thing really confuses me for 2 reasons:

1. I'm dissapointed as I thought he was meant to be clean
2. The toxicology report didn't bring any of that back and just made out becuase of past roid abuse his heart couldn't deal with it as his tubes were smaller.

on the second part, steroids do leave your system fast. And remember, he didn't hang himself shortly after shooting up (That really sounds ridiculous and hard to believe on Benoit's behalf, but whatever). I'm not sure what the time is for sure, but in the Benoit case, doctors were implying that 48 hours would have been more than enough time for the roids to leave your system. Meaning he only had to be clean for like two days. I don't know how accurate that is, but it is worth pointing out.

Also, it was an enlarged heart, not dminished tubes.

Oh, you are going to do what the Simpsons do? That is the worst kind of mark, a simpsons mark. Anyhow the Simpsons are on Fox, so it is Fox poking fun at themselves.

And no, all news media in the USA is aimed at selling ads, not reporting information in an unbiased way. Fox is just the only one that leans (if not fully) right wing, everyone else is liberal.

We have a couple of more reliable news channels, but nobody pays attention because they're "boring."

CNN's also only bashed for Nancy Grace, who I've never watched (And TPDub fans seem to bitch about primarily since she made McMahon look bad, an effort that merely takes speaking with him), but Fox has like a dozen of these fuckers, like Hannity, O'Reilley, etc. They then go on to actually post bogus news stories to promote a political agenda, and while the CNN newsticker actually promotes news, the Fox ticker tends to try and create controversy. The fact that Fox thought the Simpsons' ticker proclaiming "Do Democrats Cause Cancer?" was too close to the mark should be rather telling.

Yeah, why do peopele go after Fox?

[IC Champion]

[Mercury Bullet]

CNN's also only bashed for Nancy Grace, who I've never watched (And TPDub fans seem to bitch about primarily since she made McMahon look bad, an effort that merely takes speaking with him)

I bash her because she's about the worst journalist I've ever witnessed in my life regardless of what the subject is she is covering. Maybe it isn't all on her, but then her research team is the biggest bunch of idiots working in television. She is constantly nowhere remotely accurate on her facts and makes all sorts of bogus claims. She alone is way worse than FOX.

With that in mind FOX is horrible too. CNN is mostly okay (except for Nancy Grace). MSNBC is sort of half way okay.

BBC is probably the best source of news in america. That says something.

One of the guys I know who was over there told me that they actually went through his entire unit looking to get someone who would say nice things about the war. They finally got someone else, after interviewing like nine people saying (In the most polite way they could, as the military can't publically call it a clusterfuck) things weren't going well, they found one guy who would say they were winning. I wish more of these stories would come out.

BTW, my town's been on Fox News of late. Why Bill O RLY and the Fox news anchors thing a town of 14K people is worth engineering news is beyond me, but last year, Doctor Phil's camera team showed up to try and get some dirt. By "get some dirt," I mean make it up, and this year, Fox Camera crews did the same, several times.

I can see them doing with the ECW title where Morrison says he has beaten Punk so many times, that if Punk wins, he'll leave the company. Thus writing him off for the time being.

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah I was thinking that as well.

As for Kennedy, I can see him and Vince having another meeting backstage and he'll spill coffee on him or something and get suspended and they'll choose someone else to be his son. (For the record I think they were picking someone else anyway because they were teasing it way too much)</font>

lol, hilarious

[Splaya]

The Raw tapings will shed a lot of light. I just don't see why they don't write off the superstars on RAW ECW and SD this week and then announce them next Friday or something. Why wait till 11/1. We (the IWC) will just figure it out by Wednesday of next week, and the media is going to just rape the WWE in the next week. It's pointless really.

[Mercury Bullet]

Mike Bucci has been let go.

I'm guessing the guys who don't matter are gonna get the axe, the others will get their wrists gently slapped.

[IC Champion]

He was costing money anyways, WWE seems to be slowly making cuts, he just gave them all the more reason.

[McLegend]

Kennedy...

No no no no no.

They're saying that, starting the first of November, if you violate the wellness policy, they will announce you. They're not going to announce the folks this time. Ever. Not now, not 11/1, not in the year 2038.

[KingofOldSchool]

Kurt Angle's name has also been revealed to be on the list.

[KingofOldSchool]

From PWTorch.com:

PWTorch.com has been told that at least one top wrestler named in the media stories as turning up in the Internet pharmacy customer list will not be suspended by WWE.

Although only hited to us, the indications we've been given point to an out such as that he "came clean" about the Internet purchases previously and already served a suspension, so he'd be suspended for the same violation twice.

*cough*RandyOrton*cough*

[IC Champion]

Damn it, that should have been Orton's third stike....

I give him another 8 months at best.

[Splaya]

I know it's obvious but this is the reason why Bats is not facing Collie at Unforgiven and Rey got the shot.

[Corkscrewed]

So Rey will NOT be champ? Yay!

[D Mac]

STFU Instant Classic. Orton rules.

[Mooияakeя™]

Orton and Kennedy are the biggest let downs there. That's well fükken me off.

Shökken that fükken Funaki is in there?!?!?!

[KingofOldSchool]

The Saturday edition of New York Newsday newspaper has quotes from WWE lawyer Jerry McDevitt regarding ANOTHER WWE superstar who has been suspended by the company. The 11th suspension is also in connection to a corrupt Internet pharmacy. Signature Pharmacy is under federal investigation for distributing growth enhancement and pain relief drugs without legitimate prescriptions. McDevitt said that of the 11 wrestlers suspended, 10 will be out for 30 days while one wrestler is a 2-time Wellness Policy offender and will be suspended for 60 days.

Sources are saying that at least one wrestler named in the media stories as turning up in the Internet pharmacy client list will not be suspended by WWE. That should show that everyone named by the media is innocent until proven guilty. Granted, most of them probably are guilty, but every single wrestler listed isn't. Thus far, fourteen people under contract to WWE have been named in the media -- an additional one was fired yesterday in Mike "Simon Dean" Bucci. According to WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt, eleven wrestlers in all have been suspended by WWE.

If you look at the front page of WWE.com, there are absolutely no feature stories on any of the wrestlers named in connection to the corrupt Signature Pharmacy firm. The only front page stories on WWE.com are on Hacksaw Jim Duggan, the 2007 Diva Search, Taker's return at Unforgiven, Matt Hardy & MVP, Great Khali & Rey, and a few other random things not involving outed talent. It may be a mere coincidence, but it's definitely worth thinking about.

Hmm could the 60-day star be someone with the intials CM? And I'm not talking about a Chick Magnet, a Cookie Monster, a Charles Montgomery, or even a Chess Master.

Is it said I thought of CM Punk, before Chris Masters?

My first thought was "no wai! he's str8 edge! He said so!"

[The One]

So I haven't been keeping up, could someone just give me the list of the people being suspended, assuming that the names have been discovered by this point...

[KingofOldSchool]

None of the officially suspended people has been listed, it's all assumptions up until the tapings end Sunday night or when anyone in the "know" posts it.

On the suspension front, a press release sent out yesterday by WWE for tonight's Raw house show in Terre Haute has pulled Umaga and Mr. Kennedy off the show according to the latest info in radio ads. Main matches are John Cena vs. Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy vs. Carlito and Cryme Tyme vs. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch. If this is correct, then Randy Orton was not suspended, and there are company wrestlers who are of the belief Orton wasn't suspended, but this seems like an indication that's the case. The radio ads also have said "TV cameras invade the Hulman Center," to make people think it's a TV taping.

[SammyG]

SPOILER

John Morrison dropped the title to CM Punk at the ECW Tapings, so Morrison is definitely one of them.

[KingofOldSchool]

Well Jeff Hardy vs. Umaga for the I.C. Title has been announced for Raw.

[Shaggy]

John Morrison dropped the title to CM Punk at the ECW Tapings, so Morrison is definitely one of them.

What a shitty way for that to happen.....no big ppv build up or anything

They did, it was called Summerslam.












They blew that one.

[KingofOldSchool]

During the talent meeting with the wrestlers on the ECW and Smackdown brand yesterday afternoon, Stephanie McMahon told the performers that thirteen suspensions were handed out in regard to issues with performers receiving substances from online pharmacies and two were issues due to drug screening failures. We've only seen the company publicly confirm 11, so it's possible Stephanie had incorrect numbers or there are more suspensions/firings to be announced. If McMahon was speaking correctly, there was 15 total suspensions, plus the firing of Mike Bucci.

Also interesting to note that McMahon told the wrestlers that Vince McMahon was "looking forward to the Congressional hearings" on the sport and to testifying before Congress if and when he was called to do so. Two separate sources stated that Stephanie joked to the wrestlers that Vince was thinking of wearing a clown wig and shoes when he entered Congress in order to make a statement on the hearings.

During the meeting, Batista asked Stephanie about what could be done legally about his name being included on the recent media reports, citing publicly in front of the crew that he had never received anything from the online pharmacy companies. Stephanie told him that was an issue he and his personal attorneys should look into, also commenting that she was under the impression he was already doing that (which would mean a civil lawsuit seeking damages). Batista was telling numerous performers that he was extremely upset at Sports Illustrated and other media outlets for reporting his name, claiming there was no connection between him and the pharmacies.

When the meeting was over, Triple H addressed the wrestlers with something of a "rah rah" speech, saying that right now, he knows they are probably feeling they are in a horrible business and questioning why they want to be involved in it. He reminded them that they have a dream job where they get to make children happy and they get to live out their dreams of being involved in the business they all grew up loving. He said that he was proud to be a professional wrestler and that the entire business, not just WWE but all of wrestling, was under fire so it was up to the boys to stick together and work through it.

[RVDmark]

Is it possible that Kennedy will be on Raw? They pulled Kennedy / Umaga to have Umaga drop the belt. And it looks as if Cryme Tyme is gone too.

You're not seeing an official list because WWE isn't naming people. What you listed (Carrelli is the Itallian jackass who's after Maria) is a list of people who have been named in relation to a drug company that's under investigation. All these people are likely candidates for suspension, but nothing is guaranteed.

[DAMN iNATOR]
