Regal = SUSPENDED

To follow up an earlier story here on the site, WWE announced this morning that William Regal has been suspended for 60 for his second failure of the company's Wellness Policy. We will have more on this story later today.

This is fucking ridiculous.

Everytime a well done push gets going, the person gets suspended.

Fuck is wrong with these guys?

Don't worry, if Jeff can come back and still get pushed, so can Regal.

Fucking stupid, i was actually enjoying this angle.

Well then, I withdraw my anti-WWE comments from the other thread.

Fuck you William Regal. You blew it. I'm ashamed to have put my belief in you.

Regal, you're an idiot

I also find it funny that their drug free superstar ended up jobbing out to a guy who would go on to being suspended for Wellness a month later.

Bang on.

What a complete and utter fucking cock.

Well it makes sense why he lost then, because lets face it, there was no other logical reason for his ass to be fired.

Have to say, really good booking on the E’s part there, they probably didn’t have a lot of time, but still managed to tease Ted DiBase and Teddy Long being the next GM (lets face it, it’s DiBase all the way for the smart vote!).

He can come back from it, but dear god he’s stupid, I mean, he’s hardly wrestling now, even if it were for pain killers, he shouldn’t be taking them if he’s not working

I'm more sympathetic towards William Regal than Jeff Hardy, because I simply like Regal more, but I guess this is his own doing. The man has a history with drugs, and I hope he manages to break out of it. You were so close, William. Don't be a guy who never makes it because of your demons.

Regal's been working for a long time. Is it possible that the guy might need pain-killers to function? That is, if it is pain-killers he's in trouble for.

I think the booking was pretty shit, to be honest. They didn't have much time, but Vince flip-flopping on the Regal issue was ridiculous. I think a beat-down by Mr. Kennedy or John Cena would have gotten the point across. It also would set up a return feud for Regal.

This is the second time Regal has been suspended as General Manager. Wow.

To quote a man falling from a cliff.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Why, William, why? Surely it would be for pain killers. Is there not a WWE doctor they could see who could prescribe them something?

I'm just so confused by it. I can understand the booking, and it makes sense with the fired match. But I mean, come on!

<font color=goldenrod>Wow, fucking stupid. Unfortunately for Regal, his firing on screen makes it harder to come back in a position of power. My hope is in 60 days he can appear on Smackdown, kill Vickie, and take her spot. He would probably be able to win the WHW Title there if they wanted him to.</font>

What bugs me the most is last week, Regal came out and was asked to do a promo against Jeff Hardy.

It just makes him look like a huge hypocite....I'm actually quite pissed at this.

You’re mad because a writer told a character to say something on a scripted show because it goes against who they actually are! OMG! It’s almost like wrestling isn’t real!

Let it out Dave....let it all out.

I'm thinking of the whole "he should be a role model" thing more than anything else.

Scrubs references get you positive rep, Impeccable. It's coming your way, don't you worry.

I think they should keep a "Regal Watch" on WWE.com, and have rumors reported on the website about Regal trying to sue the WWE, or whatever. Then when the 60 days are up, he manages enough leverage on the Board of Directors to the point where they bring him back.

Regal's hair would absorb the narcotics he was using, wouldn't it? Because even if Regal is suspended, can't we keep the hair around?

I think I remember reading something about the Wellness Policy actually allowing suspended wrestlers to appear on TV. Maybe this would have been a better way to do things with Regal? Or, they could have flatly used the suspension angle. Regal is throwing his power around, and then Vince McMahon approaches the General Manager and King, as Regal confidently throws his power around. Vince then gets Regal to listen, and then mentions his drug testing is back, and he tested position for a banned substance, and WWE policy says that no matter who he is, he needs to be suspended for 60 days. It is a flat-out addressing of the issue, and Regal can go away for 60 days, look flawed, maybe become a more poignant character, or get more heat.

He'd also look like a massive hypocrite when contrasted against the Regal who directed a promo at Jeff Hardy implying Jeff should pay for his sins. A lot of depth to that heat.

I believe that was for 1st time offenders / guys on 30 day bans.

That didn’t happen with anyone suspended this year, Regal was out for 30 days, as was Kennedy, Umaga, Funaki…..well Funaki’s seems to be never ending

Funaki still has a job?

Management, or the wrestlers?

Because Management has to be on drugs to keep pushing these guys. Either they're ignoring drug use, or they're really not that perceptive. Plus, at this point, I think I'd piss test ANYONE before they got anywhere near the ME scene.

And the talent...Well....

If I remember correctly, this was removed in one of the later amendments. One of the main reasons being it made the shareholders nervous that guys on drugs were still on TV, and potentially high profile slots. The only exception so far has been RKO, who had already served time for the offense that came to light (Signature Pharmacy), and was not put in "Double Jeopardy."

From a business perspective, it's better to cut them loose then to try and keep them on TV. I know it hurts storylines, but that doesn't make it any better. Of course, as I already said, I'd be drug testing ANYONE before they got a push of significance, to reduce these occurrences.

LOL, he only recently gets "reactivated" as a wrestler and is already suspended.


And this is his second violation, wonder how long ago the first one was...probably 5 minutes after hearing he was wrestling again. :|

By the looks of it, this time next year the WWE is going to look very different with all the suspensions and firings likely coming within the next 12 months.

Is it just me, or does there seem to be a correlation between getting a push and then getting suspended for rugs?

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!



Did I mention FUCK in that sentence above?

:rofl:

what drug was it?

Don't be ridiculous. Nobody's been suspended for Rugs yet.

:p

After finally getting the push he asked for.... This is not good news.

God damn, Regal. I wonder what drug (or drugs) caused the suspension.

This is really disappointing because he was finally getting a main event push. Regal, physically, looked the best he's ever looked in WWE. I wonder if it was roids.

I can not for the life of me understand how these guys, earning several hundred thousand dollars a year, gamble it all on drugs. It just blows my mind. Especially guys like Regal or Hardy who are on their way to a bigger pay day and possibly fufilling their dreams...I mean no one is going to be shocked if over the next year or two people get generally smaller, and if you're in pain, it's not that hard to get legal pain killers. What else are they using? :nono:
