How can TNA justify putting Jeff Hardy in this position?

Has anyone really taken it towards wrestling, though?

Besides maybe a few Punktards, that is.

I mean, attacking Jeff over it...There's David Bowie, whose best days involved making awesome music coked out of his brain. Then there's the dude who lives down the street whose best days involved collecting empties for a cheap fix.

A lot of people manage to do drugs and not totally fuck their lives up. Granted, Bowie might not have had a heart attack if he didn't do massive amounts of coke, but that's hard to say. But most of these guys, you don't really see an impact on their careers. Unless, of course, they die.

Guys like Matt and Jeff, you can definitively see the way it impacts them.

Coming down on these fuck-ups is not coming down on all drug users.

To put it on a forum scale, there's Sascha and there's Clox. Sascha is, in this comparison, David Bowie. I suppose we can call him the "Thin White bitch." And Clox is sucking dick for change.

While we're on drugs (huhuhuhuhuh), I think it's very important for wrestling fans to accept that the shit people do to entertain them costs lives, up to and including drugs. Drugs for the pain, drugs to help their "look," drugs for fun, and drugs because "What the fuck else are you going to do in Cleavland?"

This gets especially bad when we're talking about combining them. Steroids can be used safely. Illegal steroids combined with coke and painkillers is a lethal cocktail that's claimed several people in all probability.

The internet should care, and really all wrestling fans should care, though probably for different reasons. I'm actually a little disgusted by wrestling for knowing what goes into the metaphorical hot dog. Policing these guys is kind of dumb, yeah, but "why do we care?" Well, we're kind of the cause.

But how many people are really coming down on Randy Orton for failing piss tests? Or Edge? Or Masters or Kennedy or the Hurricane? Hell, Brian Kendrick was "the man" for smoking pot and just paying off the fines.
