I bet that would go over well with the shareholders (the only reason they do the Wellness Policy)

KK brought up a great point -- it's not like R-Truth has a squeaky clean background. Someone gave the dude another chance to get right up to the top of the WWE, and he kinda blew it. Reminds me of the William Regal situation in 2008.

I hope this doesn't effect his push too badly. I didn't really like Truth as a face, and never thought he'd grow on me as a heel, but his heel stuff has been really entertaining.
Interesting that his character has been involved with suspension/fired storylines, constant attacks, smoking in arenas, and basically causing absolute chaos in WWE, yet in real life, the guy is busted getting high and now he's suspended. |

I guess this explains why Air Boom didn't drop the titles. A gesture to keep Bourne sweet for allowing Truth to carry on and work the Survivor Series main event before taking his suspension. All very wishy-washy.

This is a totally valid point applicable to any wrestler from any embarassing situation that 8isn't* named Jeff Nero Hardy.

One thing it is is more dangerous.
I don't know why people smoke it, but I do have a guess as to why it's punished more strongly. If you look at the main reason WWE has a wellness policy and suspends people, it's an ass-covering measure. They won't want people getting caught dying on their watch. I don't know mortality rates, but synthetic marijuana is landing a fuckton of people in the hospital, something WWE can ill afford. At least, PR-wise. That still leaves the question of why you'd smoke it instead and I don't know. Maybe it's more potent or easier to hide or something. |

The company now has to re-write top level storylines and has one less player for 30 days. I hope R-Truth gets his shit together and all that, but the dude has had a history of drug problems in the past, and seemed to build enough trust and respect with higher-ups that he was given a spot as a main eventer (even if he was never going to be the WWE Champion, or anything), and it's blown up in the company's face.
Also, if a little fake weed is in the company's wellness policy, then talent should be smart enough to avoid it. That goes for Darren Young, Heath Slater and Evan Bourne, too. I wouldn't go as far as to say they should be released (that's what the third strike is for), but I would be looking for a heel team to take the WWE Tag Team Titles off Air Boom soon, and Darren Young should spend some more time back down in FCW, and any push for Slater should be put on the back-burner. The reason this policy is there is so that representatives of the company do not embarrass the WWE publically. There is nothing worse than being a main event talent and getting busted for this shit. Regal ruined his own push, and I suspect that Truth might have done his in, too. |
