Now I don't know what constitutes a violation of the WWE Wellness Programme but do you think William Regal looks like a guy who has been doing steroids throughout his career? |

Some sources are apparently saying Sin Cara might not be brought back?

Sort of surprised but it also does explain him getting hurt during the ppv was more to write him off than him actually being hurt.
It wouldn't make sense for the WWE to just drop him after hyping him up a lot and him only being on the roster for such a short period of time even if he was too green or nervous in the ring. |

I think we can all agree that Sin Cara has been a big disappointment.

I would guess it's for pain pills, I dont know how often he would have worked in Mexico but it was probably less dates than hes working now. All those flippy bumps rack up.

Time for a completely random unrelated story. Supposedly, in 05 Hector Garza was getting ready for a comeback run in TNA but he ended up getting in trouble for steroids that are "legal in Mexico". Maybe he was taking something he's been taking for years and didn't know. From what I've heard, the FDA is currently tightening up its regulations and banning more supliments

Funny everyone thinks 'roids in and of themselves make you instantly huge. If that were the case, almost every severely astmatic kid would be running around looking like Mr. Olympia.

Exactly. What seems to be one of the top complaints about some of the guys, no matter how good of a performer they are? "Too small". Jericho got it. I'm very sure Punk's gotten it. Low-Ki and Danielson both got it. Mysterio is a hell of a lot bigger now than he was in WCW, and he still gets comments about being small, and not all of them are directed at his height.
Then, we get all dramatically gaspy and ready to brow beat someone when they decide to get on the gas to help change that and we find out about it. |

In Shawn Michaels' case, I'd be more skeptical of heavy steroid use b/c he's an average looking guy. Being 5'10" and 185 lbs is closer to normal than other, more obvious steroid users. Not saying he wasn't using, but he was a guy that didn't look out of proportion for his size. Sin Cara sticks out more since he looks out of proportion for a smaller guy... |

I intentially forgot Chris Masters. The only reason he got his foot in the door and that damned 8 minute long "Masterpiece" entrance was because of his blantantly 'roided physique. His ring work was the screaming shits, and it was still more exciting than his [sarcasm]super charismatic gimmick[/sarcasm]. It was even worse with that whole "LEANER/MEANER" crap they tried to pass off when he was obviously off of the juice in the wake of scandal. His gimmick was his body, and then without that, he was just a terrible CAW with a barebones default moveset.
I begrudgingly admit he's gone from fucking terrible to mildly passable in the ring... but better people have been hired and future endeavored in that time. Hell, in my opinion, Kelly Kelly has gotten better than this clown in the ring. He should be the poster child of why they even deal with FCW. |

From the front page:
"Sin Cara, who was suspended Monday by WWE for violating their Talent Wellness Program, spoke to Mexican newspaper The Record to claim his innocence. The masked grappler says he was informed by WWE officials that he tested positive for steroids. He requested clarification on the matter and noted that he would be meeting with company officials this week. Cara said many medications contain steroids and he believes a routine injection to his knee to alleviate persistent pain triggered a false positive. He denied taking steroids, noting that he wasn’t built like a person who used them. Regarding his real name being made public, which is considered taboo in lucha libre, the SmackDown! Superstar said it was wrong but fans are more interested in seeing his face. The full article, which contains audio, is available at http://www.record.com.mx/" |

kind of odd they suspend someone right away without getting a second test done to confirm the first. but then i guess that costs even more money, or they don't trust their employees

Wonder if this had anything to do with the decision to give Daniel Bryan MITB.

As far as the Wellness Policy being discussed publicly, isn't that the point of instituting it??? To be honest with the media about their wrestlers being clean and healthy? Of course, like all things WWE, it's used politically. Guys are made examples of that don't hurt WWE's bottom line. You'll never see guys like Cena or Orton be busted for steroid use b/c they are too valuable to lose. I suppose it's a coincidence that Sin Cara happened to be caught when he was in the doghouse with WWE |

The problem with Sin Cara is that WWE created such high expectations from the first day he was on tv, that fans were expecting him to blow their minds off everytime he wrestled. They didn't give him an opportunity to wrestle some matches, get comfortable with the WWE style of wrestling, with being on tv, etc. And being a luchador whose character doesn't speak, he doesn't have the luxury of getting on the mic, either, so only his wrestling does the talking. So if he messes up or has "so-so" matches while he gets comfortable, he doesn't have luxury of getting on the mic and kinda "hide" behind his talking.
All cruiserweights who "made it big", like Rey Mysterio Jr, Eddie Guerrero and Y2J, were given an opportunity to kind of "fly under the radar" as they established themselves, and only after some time was the spotlight put on them. Sin Cara didn't have that opportunity. |

Gee, let me think, his whole freaking gimmick. He has the right look for WWE, but personality wise the guy's a snorefest. JBL did the gimmick much better and was way more entertaining. Seeing Juan Bradshaw Layfield isn't my idea of quality entertainment
